    Sure, let’s replace the bastards with worse bastards that are only there for profit and would make less profit if crime were to go down! That’ll fix it! 🤦

      The thing is, individual citizens can’t reform the police, or ambulance services, fire brigade, or power utilities, all of which have been gutted by the ANC. All they can do is to pay, out of pocket, for private sector replacements. No one is arguing that this is better than having working public sector versions in the first place, but that’s not achievable until the national government gets totally overhauled (if it ever happens).
