The police minister, who suffers from Fomo , drops everything and rushes to said town. With the grieving family standing behind him the minister grabs the microphone, adjusts his hat and shouts out new policies, Donald Trump-style. Then the circus leaves the grieving town. The crime is not solved. So far, the minister’s travelling party, the grieving circus, has been in Diepsloot, Umtata, Nelspruit, East London and Soweto. The same pattern is repeated when there is another shooting somewhere. More feigned outrage. Another press conference in a different hat, with new grieving family members.
