South Africa gets a lot of bad press. Most of it is stupid. This moron tried to compare two completely different aspects of SA Criminal Law.
"The law of South Africa:
"Two recent court cases, have earned the attention of newspaper readers in South Africa. One person was fined R1 000 for not having a TV license. Another was released on bail for R500 after being arrested for murder. The moral of this South African story: If you do not have a TV license and the inspector comes round, kill him.You'll save R500! It's the Right Thing To Do..."
Ha Ha Ha, I always say. Whilst most people will understand the humour in this little joke, the problem arises when expats and other negative morons get their hands on it and take it seriously. The figures may well be true. There's just one gaping hole in the joke. The person noot paying their TV license is not going to jail for a number of years, like the murderer. It's fine to have freedom of speech, and its fine to make yourself look like a moron but don't try and be all 'expat hip' and insult the legal system of a country with the most progressive constitution in the world.
And one more thing. The idiot that kills the TV inspector is going to get charged R1500. You really think, that the TV people will let one death get in their way?
