Jace Labuschagne: No, I don’t have faith in our judicial system anymore. The police are not able to combat crime because they are too corrupt.
Shawn Mapfumo: They have to improve. There is a lot of corruption and they must get rid of those who are corrupt and do something about the camera systems at prisons.
Austin Chirwa: Yes, I trust the judicial system because some criminals do end up behind bars and pay for the crimes they committed.
Happiness Mavuingo: We all know the police are struggling with resources and there are a lot of criminals, but I do think most police officers are doing their best.
Praise Kanyezi: I do trust the judicial system, but I think the police can improve. They must just do their jobs properly and bring criminals to book.
Aphelele Lubuzo: I don’t trust the judicial system. Crime is out of control and it seems too many people are getting away with committing crimes.
