Madam –
On the May 8, 2019, almost seven out of 10 registered voters in South Africa cast their vote for the ANC and their spin off parties.
In so doing they gave their stamp of approval for the direction these parties are presently taking South Africa. The rest of us, who did not vote for these parties, and who disagree with their direction, policies and manifestos had to and have accepted the ‘free and fair’ outcome of these elections.
So, why do these same majority voters think it is acceptable to terrorise the rest of us who have absolutely nothing to do with and have no control over their choices?
If you wanted change, then you had an opportunity to do so PEACEFULLY during the last election, the one prior to that and the one before that.
That is how a DEMOCRATIC voting system works!
Accept your choice and be wise casting your vote next time.
As Margaret Thatcher said “The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people’s money” and now, 25 years down the line, we are starting to see the birth pains of this flawed system.
It is pretty clear to me that the ANC is anti business.
The calls for crippling Newcastle’s economy is short sighted. The economy is the backbone of the country’s survival, not the ANC, municipalities or politicians.
The traditional role of the municipality is to use rates and taxes for the upkeep of the town so that business and industry can grow and create opportunities for employment. Unfortunately the ANC hijacked the system and has been siphoning money from rate payers to ‘uplift’ areas that do not pay rates and barely use any of these resources to maintain the areas where rates are paid.
Our streets are filthy, infrastructure is failing and our sewerage is flowing freely into our rivers. Fortunately since our water resources were nationalised in 1998, so no one cares.
Businesses are closing, industries are closing and in order to survive, people are finding ways to cut their labour costs to stay afloat.
There is no way to tax people into prosperity, it never has and never will work.
Putting people to work will generate prosperity. The other more pressing issue is corruption, which, according to the results of the last election, is acceptable to the majority of South Africans.
Man with no say
