The DA wants to attract more people from rural and slum areas because that is the main vein of voters.
But the thing from ANC voters is they have too much blind loyalty.
I have a theory.
Magnets work by opposites attracting opposites. +/-
And
+/+ -/- pushes each other away.
Orait thats facts but here comes my theory.
I think the reason White and Black people don't attract to each other is because we are inherantly the same. If you peel away the layers of skin and bones our way of thinking is the same.
How is it that just as Apartheid ended and we just started to get closer the more we were pushing away from each other.
I think we are -/- trying to attract and it is just not possible and we will continue to push away until we can change it to +/-.
Thats my mind after i had a fatty.
Don't get me wrong, itsa pretty good theory
Because Ive met some pretty fucken stupid Afrikaners in my time
Best shit is when all they do is complain about the ANC with K- this and K- that
But when the time comes to make a difference and vote
Theyre the first to say that they didnt vote/even register
This country is getting more disturbing by the day
Do elaborate on that train of thought @MuskyHusky
When i grew up me and my friends used to walk in the city at early morning hours, never had anything bad happen, when i finished school we did it and got mugged. I saw a oupa get stabbed over R5 the other day. The racism in this country is getting worse everyday, people from other countries legitimately believe theres a race war going on here. I mean honestly just look at our houses with the devilsfork and burglar bars, its not normal
Our post office and most of munixipal buildings are a pig's sty. Poluted and filth everywhere. Now we have tried and pleaded for the workers to clean the place up but nothing gets done. The problem is also if it gets done it is a pigs sty again after months end.
If they wont listen to us over the enviroment, perhaps they will listen to their idol Mandela?
I am thinking of printing posters with his face on and some of his quotes on the enviroment and polution (in english and tswana), to try and guilt them to clean up after themselves. Realy not sure if this last ditch effort will work but am still going to try.
Here are some of his quotes:
“Our people are bound up with the future of our land. Our national renewal depends upon the way we treat our land, our water, our sources of energy, and the air we breathe. … Let us restore our country in a way that satisfies our descendants as well as ourselves.”
"But mismanagement of the land has devastating long-term consequences. If our soil is lost, it is lost forever. If it is inappropriately used, the consequences are permanent. Amongst other things, this makes spatial planning and the orderly development of infrastructure and housing extremely important. We are very sensitive to the needs of people to have a place to live; but unlawful occupation of land cannot be acceptable."
"These are enormous challenges. Challenges which cannot be surmounted by government alone, but for which we will need inputs from the whole South African community."
'Thus we can all contribute to the care of our environment and thereby secure a better life for all."
Would like to hear some thoughts on this plan
I think its a great plan, especially that second last quote with unlawful land occupation. Someone or something has to remind them of what Mandela really wanted this country to be like
IMO if we could punish Malema and Andile for their spewing and stoking of racism and take their platforms away, we would have more time to focus on real issues
GG @MuskyHusky, you just advanced to level 1!
At least Malema and Andile would be a start
and Maasdorp can hop right along
I forgot about Maasdorp, just shows you how irrelevant they are to a normal S african citizen
Does anyone know how many protests we have had this year so far?
At the least 1 daily
That's really bad. I no longer watch the news, only Gouws's channel, atleast he doesn't depress me like the tv news
Yes it can get a man down, thats why ignorance is bliss...
What do you think of Eskom that said they won't be able to function after April? Are they serious or lying
Prob a bit of both
How can they function when they chased all the experienced people away to make way for political cronies?
The coal shortage was a lie
and the timing is just too bloody convinient, between the SONA and budget
Yeah, I honestly hope they are just trolling us with the threat of a blackout
Lul
Peanuts compared to the monthly bailouts
Also interesting to note, we were the leaders in this technology until it was allowed that chinese spies stole and copied the plans
above article is from 2005 btw
How is it possible for these govt officials to get away with things like this
because we alow it
