    It may be that the ANC upper echelon may be concerned with their behaviour, and may not wish the general voting public to not be aware of the shenanigans going on in the corridors of government.
    It is interesting that Cyril was elected as the deputy, could it be a strategy that they are implementing to lessen the blow at the next election, by creating smoke and mirrors?

    The ANC has run its course.

    The comment comparing the FNB of Chris Ball to the present, is very interesting indeed. The time has come to create an informed groundswell amongst the voting public, to press for sound governance. In this regard, the ANC is just another tired, old, bunch of ex freedom-fighters, now fat-cats. They have no solutions to the mess they have created. They cannot deliver on their original promises to the masses, leading to a season of discontent.

    Time to press for meaningful change in SA. This is not treasonous, but rather, fiercely patriotic.

    Marikana, De Doorns, Sasolburg.... Where will it end?

    In these and many other cases, the masses have indicated their displeasure with their situation. They have voted for a political party that promised them Ethopia and bought their votes with a t-shirt and a coke. Now that the smoke has cleared and the mirror is broken, they realise that that was all that they would get.

    This is only the beginning, while our so called leaders are touring foreign countries and lining their pockets to build even bigger (dis)Gracelands, compounds and palaces. ... and planning the next state sponsored breakfast while there are people who do not even have food on the table.

    Is that somewhere between Utopia and Ethiopia?

    Lol, maybe nearer the Ethiopia end of said scale unless you qualified for a seat on their gravy train.

    Sadly FNB capitulated and succumbed to pressure from the ANC.

    F@#k the truth and freedom of speech!
