    My brother

    We may have disagreed on other things .....

    But this is one issue I think we all agree on.

    Like Eugene Terreblanche said during his last televised interview ....... " a cow can be milked to death "
    Most people thought he was an idiot, but

    He was not wrong.

    We are being milked to death.

    Peace out ... Derek

    We were without water for the whole day maybe because of a burst pipe somewhere. Failing infrastructure.
    Now we are in load shedding since 8 pm. Failing Escom infrastructure.

    All this because we are being ruled by pirates. ...and the stupid people keep voting for them!

    If you keep doing the same thing over and over, you will keep getting the same results.

    If you want change, you have to try doing something differently, like voting the pirates out of power.

    Nothing like a captive client base.

    The solution is supposed to be your vote at the upcoming municipal elections...
    Make sure you vote.

    Yes, I know it might seem it doesn't make a difference in some (or even most) instances. But if you don't vote, there is no chance your vote might matter.
    And every now and then it does matter.

    Apart from that - activism I guess. It is hard to argue against the fact that the world is significantly influenced by the noisy few.

    The DA IS CRAP TOO!!!!!!!!!

    I've been living in Cape Town over 20 years and I think that the DA SUX - They are no better, they don't care either and they do whatever they want.

    The idea of voting for the least-worst doesn't work because they are still bad and you still suffer - you choose to get hit with a 2x4inch or a 50x100mm....

    At least we have to DO something and stop sitting on our arses. Only chickens achieve anything by sitting on their backsides. Vote for an independent, vote for the party of your choice, but please vote for change. The impasse or status quo is not sustainable and the current government is leading us into the abyss.

    The majority of the people hate the current government and their corrupt leaders, so stand up and let your voice be heard.

    I wondered why the grass on the verge was being cut for the first time this year ... and some of the potholes have yellow paint lines around them (been like that for 3 months ... but hey at least someone is taking note) I hope they are repaired before the elections.

    You should try visiting other provinces around the country which aren't run by the DA and see what it is like ... Wen we did our road trip ... crossing into the cape was like going into a different country.

    That's a fair comment. I don't get out much. I suppose we judge based on what we have vs what we expect....rather than what we have vs what others have.
