Sheryl Cwele (50), wife of our Minister of State Security, Minister Siyabonga Cwele, was arrested this week on charges of drug dealing!
Nothing minor, mind you, the heavy stuff - and internationally.
The number of high profile figures in high positions of responsibility who are being - or have been - investigated for dealings in crime or corruption, leaves one wondering whether there is any hope of diminishing crime in this country. Not because the law enforcement agencies are incapable, but because, judging by the level of the people investigated, one wonders about the mindset of people towards crime. Have they accepted crime and corruption as a way of life to such an extent that it's become a culture? Are the protests by our political and community leaders against crime merely words uttered because it's the right thing to say, while the practice has become a way of life for them?
Is delinquency to become the ruling culture because of our role-models?
