Shout out to Southa, where the president of the governing party who is also pres of the republic, peacefully accepts adverse election results, and doesn't send camouflaged goons and tanks and shut off the internet. 🥳🥳🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
@MbuyiseniNdlozi@MametjaE No my brother. The constitution itself is a product of a political process derived from voting. Imagine if in 1994 people abstained in protest to the violence and intimidation that was playing out.
If Hellen Zille is the mayor of Johannesburg and my lights are on 24/7, the water in the tap is drinkable, refuse is collected, potholes are fixed and cops are patrolling my neighbourhood, I have no worries. I don’t give a damn about her being white and a woman. I don’t even like the DA.
President Thabo Mbeki's mother was something else. Despite the fact that her son was the country's president, she went grocery shopping in rural village bakkies and buses. She refused to have fancy furniture. She had plastic wrapped maroon couches. The home wasn’t even fixed. It looked like any other village home, with mud huts. She queued for the pension, just like everyone else. She loved her people. She claimed that she doesnt want to lose connection with her people.
You have to pay for electricity usage.
You have to pay rates and taxes.
You have to pay your water bill.
That is what pays for service delivery.
That is how modern countries are run.
Some of you love the ANC because you’ve been stealing together with them.
