hitting the skids

How many more times do I have to draw cartoons about the lack of vehicles for the police force ? I suppose many more until the ANC is voted out of power ! Mdantsane, the township outside of East London is the second biggest township behind Soweto.  At the NU1 police station there are only nine vehicles to serve a population of 100 000. No wonder the criminals are winning.

An eyesore

Mdantsane - known as the Boxing Mecca of South Africa, home of many home grown boxing champions. Well, 8 years ago, money was made available to build a boxing gymnasium for the area as part of the Urban renewal programme. Construction began a year later but funds ran out and the project was handed over to BCM. All that was left to complete was paving and security fencing. Now the building is abandoned, vandalized, a haven for criminals and muggers. Well done, BCM, another loss in your losing streak.
