Conference Centre in Pretoria.

Who the hell does he think he is, George W Bush?
In fact he would fit in quite nicely with that
idiot!
Higgs states that the Navy is under-equipped yet
most of our fleet is practically in dry-dock.
Our fish stocks are being depleted at an
alarming rate as there are no patrols anymore
yet he states that “if we patrol, we control”.
Please Rearend-Admiral, stop trying to please
your political bosses and admit that your Navy
is in tatters and turmoil and please get our
subs and Corvettes in the water and working
before you even think about purchasing any more
vessels and equipment.
Prove to us who pay your salary that you can
actually do your job!
With acknowledgement to Ken Strang and Sunday Times.
Admiral Higgs is a
nice guy like his colleagues, but they don't
know the meaning nor full import of the oath to
tell the whole truth.
But maybe that's because none of them know
anything about the Arms Deal - other than what
they've heard or been told.
Pity none of us has the time nor resources to
retain legal teams for six months to
cross-examine them.
Dunno who Ken Strang is, but he's telling the
truth.
