Phiyega must discard 'general' tag: ILIVE

National police commissioner General Riah Phiyega is a civilian, not a trained cop who has earned the rank. It would be better for her to discard that uniform.
The title "general" is equally silly for a "lay" person. It is also not necessary in order for her to be respected. Respect comes from performance.
