Mr Editor:

1. Who’s agenda are you furthering?
2. If you seek justice and not fame and notoriety as an editor rubberstamping these biased stories, why not give the Presidency a copy of the report?
3. Mail & Guardian at least bothered with credibility in their approach to this story. And proper investigative journalism.
4. Your promise last week of more shocking things to come this week was not fulfilled. I refuse to spend another penny on your “news”paper anymore and will now only rant at you online.
5. Shame on you. Again.

How is it possible that the government is enabled to spend so much of the taxpayer rands on services over which civil society seems to have no say? If it is true that we live in a democracy shouldn’t there be full disclosure so far as the spending and the fiscal policies of our country are concerned? Should we not have referendums on what constitutes the country’s immediate priorities and attend to these first? It seems self-evident to me that if we are so busy building a navy to protect our shores we are missing what the message of the recent xenophobic attacks allude to, which is that there is a tinder-box within and unless we take care of our hungry, our unemployed, the marginalised members of our society it is set to ignite a bloody revolution the likes of which we have imagined passed us by when we made the transformation to a democracy in 94?

mr editor
it has been discussed in golf courses , bars , shebeens , clothing factories and including gossiping that there is far more to this scandal , but we as voters are been sidelined on the benefits of the so called kickback.We have voted for a govnerment to liberate the people of the country but we did not allow them to rape our country and people in the process.If the so called benefactors can come clean and state that they have received anything from the arms deal now , they will be granted public pardon but if they don’t then we as citizens of this country ask the government to be human enough to call for a referendum weather we want this to be investigated or not.By the way just an eye opener remember , that when one person is sidelined in a deal of this sort , its normal for humans to talk. JUST BE CAREFUL WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE.Don’t under-estermate the intellengence the people of this wonderful country.
