I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but anyone who might have thought that the events that took place on Monday, 22 January, put a dent in the drug-dealing, prostitution and human trafficking scourge is sorely mistaken.
The drug lords have merely relocated their nefarious activities to the surrounding streets.
The drug and prostitution business in Burger Street has always been brisk, to say the very least. Now, it is positively booming! Apparently, having to move one’s headquarters to a venue two streets down is hardly a hardship for these drug fiends.
After all, drug-dealing, prostitution and human trafficking are hardly business enterprises which require a fixed address or tax number.
Fikile, our National Police Minister and Twitter comedian, could have saved the taxpayer the Blue Light Brigade expense by staying away.
Flattening a few bordellos was a gratuitous waste of time and manpower.
We will never be rid of heinous drug-dealing scum and their entourages as long as there are equally heinous individuals who purchase their product at such an alarming rate.
