You’ve been earning over R1million per annum from the age 26 as an ANC Member of Parliament since 2019.
You are far removed from the socioeconomic strifes the youth is faced with.
Logic dictates that voting for the ANC & recruiting more to do so is for your own self-preservation.
Day 2 with DD in charge of our country.
— No loadshedding
— No COVID-19 PPE money stolen
— No failed insurrections

Kind of very hard for me to sympathise with ‘our people’ in the Eastern Cape.
ANC’s Eastern Cape General Elections Results (Provincial Legislature):

• 2009: 68.8%
• 2014: 70.1%
• 2019: 68.7%
• 2024 Forecast: 99.7%
Wait. Would this imply that the ANC cadres, & their families & pets didn’t single-handedly free us from apartheid as per the current history books, & the cadres’ claim to the ruling elite thrones?😦😳
The video that the ANC and EFF doesn’t want you to see. A referendum on ending apartheid was held in South Africa on 17 March 1992 where the vast majority voted YES, they want Apartheid to end.
Can someone -anyone, explain exactly how apartheid robbed the ANC national, provincial and local governments of “a plethora of town planners (accountants & engineers)”?

Eastern Cape villagers voted overwhelmingly for the ANC, giving it an absolute provincial majority of 68.7%.

Dear Cyril,
I hope you don’t mind me saluting you by your apartheid Christian name.
You’ve been in office for exactly 5 years, 9 months, 27 days — or a total of 183,686,400 seconds & counting (since 15 February 2018).
According to your calcs together with your Cabinet…
What is most important is that we have done much of the ground work needed to put our economy on a path of faster growth and job creation. By working together, by staying the course, we have used the last year to lay the basis for a better 2024.
Life has served me lots of lemons in the last 3 years.
But having to arrange for my own younger brother’s funeral is by far the heaviest blow life has unleashed on me.

Our Minister of Transport, Cde Sindisiwe Chikunga is a qualified nurse specialising as a midwife. Perhaps we should cut her some slack as she was just as surprised as we all were when Cyril appointed her as our Lord of Road Transport & Civil & Structural Engineering, unprovoked.…
Wake up Bahlali. Here is a full clip of Minister of Transport blaming the Apartheid Government for the state of our rail services. It's not just Lindiwe Zulu. It looks like the ANC is still blaming the apartheid for its failures, unless if I don't understand English.

What broke the camel’s back for me was the ANC SG Ace Magashule’s assertion yesterday that the high unemployment rate is no big deal as “it’s a global phenomenon”. This is an insult to the 15.5million of our economically inactive compatriots.

In the year ending March, NoChoice’s DSTV lost 41 000 subscribers; 100 000 the previous year. Reasons: cheaper online streaming alternatives, & our weak domestic economy.

My new research shows that the EFF is going to get 65% of the national votes in 2024. This is good news because it means that we will just expropriate our land without compensation the following day after the elections without asking anyone to assist us with their useless votes.
Meanwhile the other Mayors who seemingly freed us from apartheid are fixated on wasting taxpayer money on senseless imbizos & “community outreach programmes” — & buying brand new bluelight-fitted SAVs for themselves, instead of doing something tangible for effective & efficient…

Farmworkers are arguably the hardest working compatriots & yet amongst the lowest paid. Life is so tricky & illogical😢
