The rise in deaths in the country
The causes of death in the country these days are becoming unnatural. Lots of minor incidents are leading people to death, and critical attention must be given to little incidents like fighting and disagreement in our townships and settlements.
The police must ensure that persons who have wrongfully claimed the lives of others are brought before the law for the necessary punishment.
Punishing people who violate the law will serve as a caution to others who might think of involving themselves in such dangerous and wicked acts.
