Destruction of Illegal Alcohol

Oh Boy!!!! Did I enjoy watching the police destroy the alcohol.

These men and women who work so hard, yes, there are hundreds of them, deserve a pat on the shoulder. I support them 200%!!! Keep on raiding these illegal outlets, hammer them and keep on hammering them.

One has only got to look at the accident statistics to realise the deadly potential of alcohol overindulgence.

When a person is full of bravemaker, he first gets strong, then he gets beautiful, then he gets tough - and then he gets in an accident.

This is where the stuff hits the fan. It is normally not the drunkard that is injured, it is innocent bystanders that gets injured, maimed or killed. 

How many lives are ruined by alcohol abuse is a subject open to debate, due to the clientele that visits these outlets.

These are the people that should not touch alcohol in the first place, let alone get doped on it. I am not a teetotaler, nor am I an armchair moralist.

I do enjoy a drink now and then for social and relaxing purposes. The difference is that I purchase my liquor only from legal outlets, and then use it once in a blue moon. 

It is indeed a sad day that fellow countrymen tries to make money out of illegal liquor.

Therefore I, unquestionably, support the actions of the SAPS. Go guys go!!!!
