Open Line
In our open line we received a lot of calls discussing the Public Protector’s son crashing her car. Callers had mixed reactions, some said she should be held responsible for the incident and should be charged. Other callers said the police should be blamed for not doing their job by arresting those that commit unlawful acts.
The other discussion the listeners had was about the murder of Eugene Terreblanche. Callers speculated who could be responsible for the murder of the AWB leader

Animal cruelty
Animals occupy a particular position in our Eco-system. That's that. There are of course considerations regarding cruelty to animals which are legitimate and bodies such as SPCA exist for that purpose. Further there is legislation to enforce standards against cruelty to animals and that suffices. Anything beyond that is seeking to really elevate the position of animals in the Eco-system.
