@Mr_PeterM I would think back then an entry level C-class was closer 2x the annual salary of a South African, and now it is almost 3x the annual salary of a South African.
Also people now like SUVs far more than then.
@Judaeda3 Just a slight correction (although who cares about facts right?), that building is owned by no one. The company that owned it lots and lots of years ago, no longer exists and the owner emigrated, if I remember correctly, way before 2003.
So it is not owned, but hijacked.
So you’re watching your fellow communist buddies preaching nationalization of banks and mines from your private hospital bed. I guess you are too sick for a state hospital. You are a sick fuck and a miserable mistake that never should’ve happened.
@Newzroom405 "I will always tell them the truth", really? Did you tell the truth about looting VBS or the Limpopo Legislature? Oh, no truths there or anywhere.
The South African political class does not create. They extract.
Builders create value. They solve global infrastructure problems. They expand human capability.
Bureaucrats rely on force. They use fines and forced equity handouts. They make censorship demands. They want to control what they cannot build.
Society suffers when productive people refuse to comply with state extortion.
The state would rather its people have no internet at all than allow innovators to provide it without paying a political toll.
@Abramjee Much like alcohol they seize, about 1/4 will be destroyed as part of a photo op, and the rest will re-distributed between employees who will either use or sell them.
The ANC and EFF in Tshwane have spent years campaigning on the claim that townships were being neglected by the DA administration.
Now they are in government and things are getting worse.
Real change will only happen when the DA has a majority and five years to implement long term solutions.

My message to Malema, and now also to the anti-AfriForum activists at @News24, is simple: @afriforum builds while the state breaks. https://t.co/PCfiE9QQUu
@Olivia_LaGrange Reaching much?
There is no official data from Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) or the Gauteng Department of Health that supports a figure anywhere near 79%.
