Why’s Denel selling weapons to kill people we don’t know?

Denel Overberg Weapons Testing Range Soutrh AfricaWhy are we selling weapons that will kill people we don’t know?

DENEL, OUR WEAPON’S MANUFACTURING EMPLOYEE

Denel belongs to the Government of South Africa. The Government works for us. We own Denel. But Denel’s refusing to reveal whose paying R6.3-billion for its death devices?

Denel’s website description on search engines is: “Global Supplier of World-Class Defence Products and Solutions.” If it were for defence, there’d be no secrecy.

IMAGINE IF YOU WERE BEING BOMBED

Denel’s latest long-range artillery is accurate at 76km. Can you imagine living in Hout Bay whilst a foreign country called Paarl starts bombing you because it doesn’t like your religion or wants your water supply? I use that location, South Africa’s liberal homeland, because Denel’s testing range is in Overberg (did you know that the UK and USA use it too?).

It’s more practical to destroy bad things we’re familiar with. I’m betting that people would rejoice at a satellite photo of the fire pool at Nkandla getting blown up. With that ‘main fire prevention tool’ destroyed, there’d be no way to stop nearby burning thatch from reaching the other buildings.

DEFENCE

If Denel is to exist, it should be only be locally purposeful. A good place to start would be electronics to secure our border and protect wildlife from poachers, and speedy ships to sink illegal fishing trawlers. Protecting our economy and environment is more important than profit for a corrupt few (’cause I’ve no doubt there’s no benefit to us, the majority, Denel’s true employers).

The truth may be bitter but sharing it is sweet!
