“THINK OF A
MURDER LIKE ANNI
DEWANI'S. IMAGINE
THE GREASING
T H AT W E N T O N
THERE..."
Time and again the law has proven that if you
have enough to grease a few palms then you
can get away with anything. Money really is a
problem solver when it comes to the laws that
govern a country. When you think of Oscar
Pistorious, Jacob Zuma, OJ Simpson, and Ryan
Levin, it makes sense to accept that rich people
can manipulate the system. The problem with
this then becomes re-offending, which will more
likely to occur than reformation. And the sad
thing is that the media has also turned a blind
eye to this trend and, instead, focus on other
copy-selling topics such as celebrities.
The reality is that without our help, combating
bribery is like drawing blood from a stone. We
need to understand our rights and to identitfy
when an officer is taking chances. It may seem
like an overly optimistic approach, but we have
to start somewhere if we're to elimate corruption.
