Funny how failed politicians suddenly become “voices of reason” the moment ordinary South Africans start raising issues they ignored for years.
You speak about marches, shutdowns and agitation like you invented public protest, yet when citizens organise around border control, unemployment and pressure on public services, suddenly you call it “counter-revolution” and “destabilisation.” That hypocrisy is impossible to miss.
People are tired of being lectured by politicians who had influence, platforms and power, but delivered slogans instead of solutions. You had your turn to “challenge the establishment” and millions are still unemployed, municipalities are collapsing, crime is out of control and young South Africans are losing hope daily.
Now you want to scare people into silence with predictions of doom because you are uncomfortable that the conversation has moved beyond your political control.
Nobody is asking for chaos. People are demanding accountability, law enforcement and leadership that puts South Africans first. Calling every frustrated citizen “dangerous” is arrogant and disconnected from reality.
The real self-sabotage was years of failed governance, corruption, empty revolutionary speeches and treating legitimate public concerns like they are forbidden topics.
South Africans are no longer intimidated by dramatic speeches from political veterans whose credibility faded long ago.
