Keeping Up Appearances

I liked this sitcom when it came on Fiji One a long time ago. I felt sorry for the husband every time I watched it. Well watching the Miss Universe final judging, there was a category which would require the contestant to elaborate on humanitarian projects that they have taken up, the category being Beauty with a Purpose potrays a very important role that women play in society. Could we have that for our Hibicus Queens in the coming years? Sitted at the judges table was Nelson Mandelas son, who is also a strong advocate of humanitarian projects in his own country and around the world I presume. South Africa nowadays takes the leading role in terms of development in Africa and they have a very solid structure, thanks to the mixture of people in their country. The recent mining incident in South Africa has somehow given the world a different view of other developments in the country. The order to give the permission shoot to kill must be investigated as to how it led to that decision. The police are supposed to be protecting the law and working within it to prevent or limit the loss of life if it can. The miners had no guns but were shot down like dogs, was the situation assesed before acting leaves a lot of doubt into the execution of their duties as police officers.  Not long ago Australia was highlighted as a country which had police officers who were either trigger happy or  not trained well enough to tend to certain situations deemed combustible. I thought those shooting were the companies security..........I could be wrong maybe the government didn't want any interference in the mining.
