Bantu Holomisa feels sorry for dagga-sniffing dogs ‘facing retrenchment’
The UDM leader took to social media to highlight South Africa’s economic challenges are now affecting our canine officers too.
The constitutional court has ruled that people can now privately use and cultivate dagga in the privacy of their homes.
In a unanimous judgment, the court decriminalized smoking at home, ruling that it was unconstitutional to ban the private use and cultivation of marijuana.
This resulted in celebrations outside the court on Tuesday. The Concourt allowed parliament a 24-month window to change sections of both the drug trafficking act and the medicine controls act as these were now seen to be constitutionally invalid.
Among the myriad of responses to the ruling on social media was United Democratic Movement leader Bantu Holomisa’s comment.
Responding to a screenshot by Matsau Mthsali which said: “all police dogs that were used to sniff dagga are now facing retrenchments – Eish life is tough everywhere,” Holomisa said life was rough.
Holomisa reacted to the tweet saying unemployment, poverty, and hunger were problems that were now affecting even dogs in Mzansi, Kubi meaning it was really bad.
