183 Controversies

 In the face of problems, it is not advisable to blindly shirk responsibility. Since problems occur, there must be something wrong in some aspect. It is not the responsibility of the subordinates, but the responsibility of the leader.

But you also need to be skillful in taking responsibility. You can't take all the responsibilities on yourself. That is not responsible but stupid.

Rock is definitely not stupid, so Rock has no responsibility, at least no subjective responsibility, so he is a salvageable object.

Adelaide is not stupid, so Adelaide does not need to bear "leadership responsibility". The person who invented this term must not be a leader, at least not a qualified leader. It is impossible for a leader to be responsible.

The police officers of the Johannesburg Police Department are not responsible either. They act according to the rules. As for publicizing legal provisions to the public, that is not their responsibility. That is the job of the city government.

Even the culprits' responsibilities become insignificant after they accept punishment.

So who is responsible?

These are the guys who deliberately stir up trouble on this issue.

"The scope of application of the "Public Security Management Regulations" is those criminal acts that violate legal provisions but do not need to be tried in court. At this stage, the power of the court is still limited, and the judges do not have more time and energy to waste on these crimes.

Regarding trivial matters, the city government does not want to increase expenditures in this area, so it hands this part of the power to the police department. The police department may not consider enough when executing this part of the power, but the starting point for dealing with the problem is definitely not because of skin color.

, but based on the severity of the crime, criminals are punished; if citizens have opinions on the execution of the police station, then I think they should respond to the city government or the police station instead of writing an article and publishing it in the newspaper

, This kind of behavior is absolutely undesirable and must be resolutely stopped." Roque will now be held accountable. No matter what the reason was for William Temple to instigate this incident, Roque will not let him go.

"Reporting police law enforcement violations to the police station, do you think this is the solution to the problem?" Ade obviously does not think so, so the sarcasm is obvious.

"If you can't solve the problem by reporting to the police station, you can also report it to the superior leadership department of the police station. If that doesn't work, you can also report it to the Governor's Office. These are all normal ways to respond to problems. In any case, you can't directly leave the problem to the citizens for discussion.

, This is an irresponsible attitude, and it is not conducive to solving the problem in the end, and may even aggravate conflicts, so this kind of behavior is absolutely undesirable." Roque insisted that the Education Committee is also a government agency and published the article directly.

In the newspaper, it is tantamount to internal exposure, and the consequences are very serious.

Both the police station and the education committee are under the management of the municipal government. If the members of the education committee have opinions about the work of the police station, in addition to communicating directly with Roque, they can also respond to Philip. These are normal channels.

Publishing the article directly in the newspaper is equivalent to overturning the table. Not only Rock is opposed to it, but the entire bureaucracy should be opposed to this behavior.

Not to mention that William Temple's behavior caused serious consequences. Even if Rock didn't say anything, Ade should not let William Temple go. If everyone is like William Temple, then everyone should stop working.

If you do more, you will make more mistakes. If you do less, you will make fewer mistakes. If you do less, it will be better.

The most practical reason is that William Temple exposed the work violations of the police department. On the other hand, the police department can also expose the inaction of the Board of Education. Everyone’s butts are dirty, so they unanimously hide their butts better back to back.

, if you expose your buttocks face to face, everyone will be embarrassed.

Speaking of the inaction of the Board of Education, this is actually related to the overall environment.

Sargent, the director of education in the Transvaal and Orange, was sent from London. In order to better assimilate the Boers, Sargent implemented British school policies in the Transvaal and Orange.

As a result, the British teaching policy was strongly resisted by the Boers in Orange. The Boers did not allow their children to go to schools built by the government, and they also established the "African Language Association" to fight against Sargent.

Sargent's attention during this period was all on Orange and he didn't care about the Transvaal at all.

As for Johannesburg, because of the outstanding students of Ziwei Public School, the schools built by the government have lost their appeal. Even government officials hope to send their children to Ziwei Public School to study. Only ordinary citizens are left in public schools.

and the children of general government employees go to school.

Therefore, William Temple’s public opinion offensive against the Johannesburg Police Department really cannot be considered in detail.

Ade also knows that the problem is serious, but in the current situation, Ade actually has nothing to do.

As the governor, Ade's work is not limited to education and public security. Economic development, social stability, and the aspirations of the people are the main issues that Ade considers. Education and public security have to be sidelined. After all, Ade's energy is limited.

It is impossible to do so much work at the same time.

However, education and public security cannot be laissez-faire. Without good public security, there will be no economic development and social stability.

Education is more related to the long-term stability of southern Africa. If the Boers cannot be successfully assimilated, then the Boers will find trouble sooner or later. So now Ade feels a little itchy when he thinks of William Temple. He did not do his job well and even used his hands.

Reaching out to the police station is really——

So Ade pretended not to have heard that Rock wanted to hold William Temple accountable.

"No matter what you do, let's solve this problem first. If similar incidents happen again in the future, then you can all go back to your own fiefdoms to retire!" Ade said fiercely. This may be a threat to Henry, and to Luo Luo

Kema——

To be honest, when Rock heard Ade say this, his first reaction was not fear, but joy.

Today's Johannesburg, without these hundreds of thousands of Chinese, would not be as attractive to Roque as Nyasaland.

During the few months in Nyasaland, Rock felt really satisfied and relaxed.

In Johannesburg, no matter what Rock wants to do, he must be controlled by the city government and the Governor's Palace.

In Nyasaland, Rock had no scruples. He could do whatever he wanted. He didn’t need to ask for someone’s opinion, consider someone’s reaction, or worry about other people’s eyes.

Within a month, Rock had fallen in love with Nyasaland, and when he returned to Johannesburg, Rock was in a heavier mood than when he visited the grave.

When he walked out of the Governor's Mansion, Henry was still a little anxious: "What should we do? Should we go back and amend the Public Security Management Regulations?"

Henry was really frightened by Ade's threat. Compared with the prosperous Nyasaland, Fawalt had only a cement factory and a steel factory. Henry didn't want to spend the rest of his life doing nothing but making steel and burning cement.

"Why do we need to revise it? The current "Public Security Management Regulations" are very reasonable, and the Governor did not ask us to revise them." Roque is unwilling to revise it. The current "Public Security Management Regulations" are perfect for the Chinese, and Roque does not need to ask for it.

Trouble.

In fact, Cape Town also has regulations similar to the Public Security Management Regulations. The reason why Rock is unwilling to use them is because they contain a large number of discriminatory regulations against people of color. These regulations are not included in the Transvaal version of the Public Security Management Regulations.

Regulations have been deleted one by one, so that the Chinese can enjoy themselves in the Transvaal.

"But the Governor said that if something like this happens again, we will be in trouble!" Henry is concerned about himself and is in trouble.

"Humph, the governor did say that, then similar incidents are prohibited from happening." Roark will carry out Ade's orders "to the letter". Of course, Roark and Henry have different understandings of Ade's orders.

A certain deviation.

"What the Governor means is that if someone makes nonsense in the newspaper again, then the newspaper office will be blocked and the relevant responsible persons will be arrested. In short, we won't be able to escape for a month." Roque was filled with murderous intent.

"Did the Governor really say that?" Henry was a little confused, as if he and Roque were not the same Governor.

"Yes, that's what he said!" Rock vowed, and upon returning to Johannesburg, Rock began to deal with William Temple.

Of course, before that, Rock went to Owen first.

"Why did William Temple's article appear in the "Free Press" newspaper?" Rock does not think Irving is William Temple's accomplice, but a charge of oversight cannot be escaped.

"It is impossible for me to read all the articles in the newspaper before it is published." Owen is really wronged. The leader of the Liberal Party is also very busy. It is the responsibility of the newspaper editor to review the articles.

I have to say that the newspapers of this era were still very powerful. Look at Leopold II who is currently in a state of distress. It is because the British Morel and Casement published a series of articles that vividly exposed Leopold II.

It was the atrocities committed by King II in the Congo Free State that shocked the international community, and then triggered the international community's attention to the Congo Free State.

Faced with overwhelming accusations, Leopold II denied everything and even organized a multinational investigation team to go to the Congo Free State to investigate the truth.

Although there are no investigation results yet, it is beyond people's expectation that things can develop to this point.

"Then find someone to sit in that position who has the time and energy to distinguish which articles are good for us and which articles are bad for us before the newspaper is published." Rock is engaging in press censorship.

This is not consistent with the general environment of liberalism, but at this special time, it is really necessary to implement news control.

"Locke, we can't do that. Don't forget that we are the Liberal Party." Owen is also naive. Could it be that under the banner of "freedom", the Liberal Party can't do anything against freedom?

If it were that simple, there wouldn't be so many controversies in the world.
