Outlaws' Eden: ILIVE

We are bombarded daily with the violence and hooliganism of mineworkers who are engaged in legal and illegal strikes.

With horror we see the violent acts against non-striking workers.

Why should we have to put up with it? Why is the government not taking firm action against the violence?

Police are condemned for using force, but the truth is that the greatest transgression of law and order comes from the striking workers.

It is they who put the lives of bystanders and the police at risk.
