The law is on an ass

South African police have been told to turn up at crime scenes on donkey-back.

The advice, offered by a smiling Charles Nqakula, the country’s embattled Minister of Safety and Security, to a passing-out parade for new recruits, drew immediate criticism.

Mr Nqakula was responding to complaints that because his force was undermanned and underequipped, officers were often slow to reach the scene of a crime. “If you don’t have a car, ride a bicycle or a donkey,” Mr Nqakula told the newly qualified officers at the weekend.

Of course, more senior officers will arrive in those small vehicles designed to look like trains you see further along the promenade at Blackpool.
