Hi Domza!

Is this an inquisition or intimidation?

You can delete all the details/references about myself- not venerable for 
this debate; stick to issues.

Is it a crime to serve on the CPF?
Anyway, my son was not there (I doubt if he is still a member). I do not 
serve on any CPF's.
You should get your answers from the SAPS or the Jhb CPF- I don't know them.

No b...! I have family by surname of Sissings in Dbn- family records gone 
with elders.
My paternal grandmum was Kok's neice.
Correct, so what? no big deal about it!

Do you have to bring in the Moslem angle?


I merely regurgitated what locals had been talking/noting.
Yes, I should have qualified the input.
Is every local at each street corner or township also going to be attacked?
Why should the topic not be discussed and issues looked at for resolution?
Whoever suggested that should retract- that was not civil.

As much as the comments were personal and insulting, I reacted.
Since the box is your 'terrirory', I will not 'dive in' again; it's a waste 
of my time also.
