I think racial solidarity that has defeated the idea that one man is superior that another is one of key elements in bring unity, acceptance and appreciation amongs racial groups in South Africa. I think race does and will always matter because to have acceptance and appreciate between people of different races, there has to be acknowledgement and appreciation of ones own humanity first, which includes race among other things, on the basis which one race can acknowledge and accept another.

Government policies must deliberately mix people. Some people should be empowered so that their capacity is increased to take independent action. Thereafter, people initiatives will complement and direct public policies.

Request for assistance regarding Police Station / Security services at
Sizana / Godlankomo

Dear Mr President,

I am writing to you requesting assistance for the above mentioned in my
rural home area.

Godlankomo / Sizana was a place which was safe and people had values and
ubuntu. But now, It is the thing of the past as there are now criminals
who attack families in their homes, kill people and you get mugged as you
are just going to the shops to buy.

Our place still do not have electricity and all other necessities like
clean water.Most of people in our village are not working and depending on
government grant for living.HIV / AIDS is also high ,and this could be due
to poverty ,so as crime.

The recent sad thing that has happened ,the evening of 15th of July
2010,when my grandparents were attacked by two thugs.They carried big
knives and headed to my grandparents bedroom and start attacking my
grandfather (90) in his bed. My grandmother had to escape through a window
to get help (84).But when she was calling for help the thugs managed to
run away.I wish I could make my home safe by putting necessary fencing and
burglar guards but I also feel that there is a need for a nearest local
Police Station.

My grandfather called the Police at Ceza Police Station but there said
they cannot help because the thugs are unknown and I believe we are not
safe as the Police station at Ceza is very far ,You have to hire a car to
go there because there is no transport.Immediate Police help you cannot
access it as it is far to reach (It will take too long for them to
arrive),The road condition is very bad too ,It is worse as there are no
street lights.Abuse ,Murder,Rape ,Tresspassing and all other kinds of
crime is starting to be part of once’s life and have to accept it as you
cannot get Police help immediately or at all.

I am humbly requesting help regarding safety services as crime is taking a toll in our community and village.

In our community we need electricity,clean water and securiy services (Police Station).

I would appreciate also the help from government in this matter.I love my grandparents dearly as they raised me and i wish I can do something to protect them or either to take them away from our area ,but I do not have means to do so and I believe they also like their home.It is really hurting me seeing people especially youth doing such a cruel,wicked and hearless thing to the elderly people as well the whole community.

Your assistance will be highly appreciated and valuded.

Yours Respectfully,
Nombuso Buthelezi (Miss)
