Some first-hand experience may change Waner’s views
Ernest Waner of Brakpan is talking from a position of ignorance or so it seems (“Squatter camp fires: suggestions for pre-emptive action ignored”, SA Jewish Report, April 7). Either that or he has never set foot in any of the squatter camps, otherwise he wouldn’t be so quick to give advice, although he doesn’t say what it was, to Helen Zille, Premier of the Western Cape, Chief Fire Officer Ian Schnetler and Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille.
