Part 3. Exercise
Comment: This is a microcosm of what seems to comprise so much of SA. It ha become a mafia state and it is impossible to see how it can be restored to what can be loosely described as normality. Corruption and thugs with big guns to defend it are endemic. What will transpire should a corruption resistant government come to power and attemt to clamp down on the wrongdoers? I shudder to think.
Answer:
Non-identity-attack
