Ok, Mul, while you are mosdef entitled to your opinion.... please I gotta point out a major flaw in your reasoning.....WHy the D.A.? Bra , you sounding like you buying into the DA propaganda machine,... bra, you do realise that the basis of DA leadership is still the same peeps who led the DP throughout Apartheid, they had seats in parliament, they had a say, not a major one, BUT they were the Opposition, and yet NOt Once did they ever even put forward ANY single piece of legislature in order to combat or even temper any aspect of Apartheid policy. They never saw anything wrong with it. They were as vocal to demonise the people fighting for freedom, as any part of the Apartheid government, they considered anyone involved in the armed struggle for the country, not on the side of the government, as criminals. They never seriously tried to challenge detention without trial, summary death penalties.... you know what they did following the incidents of June 16 1976?.... f***ALL.
Sure I got issues with the current governance, but I can see what they doin wrong now and talk about it.... during Apartheid, we knew f***all about what was happening in the government buildings, and if we said anything, we disappeared.
The Np government left this country in huge debt, thanks to the work doen by the Reserve Bank and the Finance Ministry, this country is doing better economically than it ever has................
The People who ran this country into the ground and crushed its people had more than 300 YEARS to perfect their art, we've come f***IN far in just 10.
My Grandfathers house was sullied by the thugs of BOSS, simply for housing and feeding hunted families in the seventies.
I've lost a cousin and an uncle to "accidents" in police detention during the eighties, and I've got another uncle who's an alchoholic who still carries the scars and suffers the nightmares from his time in detention. He's f***ed up for the rest of his life, he saw his nephew and his brother die like dogs because they and he decided to fight for their family.
As many problems I've got with the government and as f***ed up as my uncle is... If EVER our country fell into the hands of someone unwilling to bleed for their land. We will NOT hesitate to stand up and make them bleed.
The DA and what they come from and must never rule here again, All they are is The NP with a few more black tokens. They got no nuts to fight for this place.
AND fine yes there is corruption in government, but there is corruption in every government, no political system works perfectly, but its better than it was... and now we can build...Another revolution WILL kill this country. ANd right now its not neccessary.
