I'm realizing that we didn't love the ANC the same. To us it was a church, it was sacrosanct, it was an institution for black people's freedom and upliftment. To others it was an opportunity to get rich and exercise power. There are some who would rather it die in their hands , then release it because for them it is a livelihood....to us it was a philosophy.
@onscryn The bill about exempting pensioners from rate does exist it's called pensioner property rate relief so EFF was jst reaching with that bill
When it comes to insourcing Actions SA has implemented it on security, cleaning and water delivery
Political parties that manipulate the frustrations of South Africans by falsely promising to chase foreigners away will soon be chased out of office by the very people who voted for them.
In America, Donald Trump won elections by promising to build a wall to keep immigrants out.
His administration took videos of children held in cages at the border. Immigration officers carried out “raids” in the streets with television cameras following them. When conducting their raids, they would even bring along TV personalities like Dr Phil to film the arrests. Arresting people became a show for an audience.
These are the same tricks we see in South Africa, where politicians arrive with cameras to perform “raids” for social media, making a spectacle, and calling it delivery, only for those same immigrants to come back tomorrow when the cameras are switched off.
However, the recent loss of the Republicans in the Midterm Elections in America is proof that you cannot fool and trick voters forever. In the end the people want to see their lives improve, not slogans.
They want jobs, they want dignified and affordable housing. They want access to healthcare, they want safe communities, and they want education and a future for their children.
You cannot put a wall on the dinner table. Chasing an immigrant away does not mean your food prices will come down, or a factory will be built to create jobs.
The same can be said about elections in Australia. Peter Dutton enjoyed a lot of support, singing the same song of chasing foreigners away. But, eventually his party lost badly! He even lost his own seat.
We can even talk about how Lula defeated right winger Bolsonaro, with a message that spoke to hunger, poverty and the needs of ordinary families.
South African politicians who are copying these tricks must learn from what is happening in the world. A video of a raid may get you a thousands of likes, today, but it will not feed the people who voted for you.
Sooner or later, the people will get tired of the theatrics and demand jobs, houses, running water, and education for their children.
Our people are angry because life is hard. Those who use people’s anger to fool them for votes will one day face that anger themselves. The same people who cheered you into office can vote you out.
Honest political activists must not get tired. We must fight very hard for real improvements in the lives of our people.
Fight for education, fight for jobs, fight for decent housing, healthcare, running water, affordable food prices, financial security and safe communities. As it is happening across the world, we will win our people back with honest and sincere politics. Not politics of hate and deception.
EFF champions the inscourcing SAns who are exploited by the tender system. Proposed for pensioners to be exempt from paying rates, proposed for unemployed professionals to be exempted from paying council fees
Twitter wants us to believe shouting "abahambe" is putting SAns first
Helen Zille is not entitled to mayorship in Joburg. Her party had to win 50 plus 1 for her to be guaranteed. They didn't and there's nothing wrong if the other parties exclude her from the coalition.

Okes, one last thing before we go 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Choose your ideal coalitions in areas where seats have been determined like Mogale City 😁
Maybe it could influence how the party you voted for negotiates 👀

The so called mpimpis, Clever blacks and mimosa Bantus will continue punishing the ANC.
Their vote didn’t just go to the the DA in the metros…it also went to ActionSA
People don’t want to talk about ActionSA because it doesn’t fit the sellout agenda
@msmonakhisi I really believe our student movement should be 100% independent from all these political parties ngoba ujuju got many of us from there nabo ANC
