@LuckyGordy@HermanMashaba@ME_Beaumont@Action4SA Fair point re my disparaging remark re intelligence. On the DA being the party to deliver on basic services; that they are not the political party of choice is bewildering.
@mike_superb That JHB residents are caught in the cross fire is their own making. Had a golden opportunity to ensure a thriving city but instead voted to remain in squalor.
@Born_Again_Man If it is so that the electorate did indeed want ‘taps with clean water,……..’, then the electorate should have voted DA. The majority DID NOT. The clear message is that the electorate are happy to live in squalor.
@AprilSnowGoose It is so that the politicians have got to, more than ever, show maturity amongst many other positive traits that describe human behaviour. Such a pity that the electorate, when given opportunities, fail.
@lebo_as_I_am@margieMYDNA@HBlomkamp Yup. A conundrum indeed. Fortunately, for the doubting Thomases, they may not have to deal with DA policies. What is not in doubt however, is without a DA, with a majority, they won’t have a working city.
@margieMYDNA That may very well be the case. They will play the had they are dealt. The electorate could have ensured that they controlled the hand but they failed. Dismally. Time for us to put a sock in it.
@b3l_Air The electorate had a golden opportunity to ensure they and JHB would be successful. The results clearly reflect that they are happy to live in squalor. Now the politicians will decide.
@LovemoreSXM All those who contend that they dislike Helen it may be worth noting that she herself has said that the electorate can dislike her, they must simply want JHB to work. The results show that the electorate are happy to wallow in the mire.
@JacoKleynhans This may very well be a reasonable assessment of events. Not sure about your assertion that PA have performed well. What the results also reflect is that the majority of the electorate are happy to wallow in the mire.
@CynthieHobbs Hi Cynthia. Your enthusiasm is commendable. However, the ‘….. brilliant strategy skills’ is a stretch. Herman may very well have the interest of the electorate at heart, but the Hellen bashing is not a good look. The Senate should have a quiet word with him.
@Pad_Varkie@JordiGriff Good point. Still chance for the likes of the ANC and their ilk to ensure that the people remain the mire. It’s not all doom and gloom.
