If the question was asked of the opposition in the House right now, Who of you would like to be a policeman or policewoman, surely none of them would respond positively. If we ask ourselves this question, it will make us understand what being a policeman really is like. Our men and women in blue are the first line of defence, and we must therefore acknowledge this and be proud of them. They are killed in the line of duty trying to protect us and make us feel safe. Therefore, we must all adopt the slogan, which I am told has been adopted by the Mpumalanga province, "You kill the police, you kill the community."
HON MEMBERS: Yes!
