Your front page headline “Helen Zille arrested” highlights the imbalance of priorities in our country. 

Her fight against drugs is valid and urgent.Yet she and others were arrested for a peaceful anti-drug march.The police should support those who are against substance abuse, crime, etc.

The government should review their approach on those who mean well for our society.Criminals in the drug industry are thriving with arrogance.

Perhaps South Africa should introduce laws against these criminals as in Thailand and Saudi Arabia.
