Our new Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan made his maiden Budget speech today. The financial experts and analysts have all praised him and said it was good.
However, I am absolutely gobsmacked that he made not even a single reference to crime, security issues, policing, courts, the criminal justice system or prisons.
We're a crime-rattled society with an average of 50 murders a day. Government has regularly claimed that our unacceptably high crime is among its top five priorities.
And then today nothing gets said about it. Not a word.
I'm totally amazed.

It seems our new government's practice to not talk about the bad stuff.
