Aha, I just read your article in today’s Star newspaper. Not so long ago you made unintelligible noises about blacks leaving the township, claiming how rooted you were in Soweto and how you will never leave.

So tell me Sandile, what are you doing in Vorna Valley?

Government is busy shooting and arresting.The question is “Is that the role of government?” and how far will that get government?. This whole thing is rotten from inside, the solution is deep in.

One of the biggest problems in SA is that people equate voting with freebies. I always find it strange that a grown man who is not sick, disabled or anything will say on national TV that “I voted and still does not have a house”. Goverment should seriously deal with lawlessness and shoot, arrest all the pepetrators.

What do you guys want?

A decent living standard for all or poverty , ignorance,disease and anarchy.

Maybe the elite should put this to a referendum in places like Sakhile or Khutsong .

And then act on the outcome with appropriate urgent reform.

The time for romanticizing the role of the freedom fighters and doing nothing is past.

Get on with it

These people have good intentions, ask the UDM and other struggle formations, violence and destruction is only used as a last resort. There are also spin offs, you get television cameras and a window to the world. States to react quickly when their public image is in danger, people know this and they will use when they need to.
The people who are speaking out and reactive through these service protests are good South Africans like you and I. These are people who would typically vote for the ANC, attend the ANC rallies, sing the ANC slogans and take an ANC t-shirt and wear it with price. It is just that there is something genuinely wrong here and it will help all of us to find that and fix it before our country or part of it blows up into flames

In the East there is something called the Mandate of Heaven. Roughly speaking the first sign that the Emperor has lost it is the spread of protest; the second is unrest; the third is violent overthrow and destruction of anything remotely connected with the ruling class.

It is fully justified unrest because the ones suffering do not have an effective voice, and the means of communication of our underclass is justifiably physical action.

Many opposition supporters will welcome this analysis in SA now.

Poor fools.

The Opposition in SA is largely bourgeois and the bourgeois is always a part of the problem when any mandate of heaven is lost. They are the ones responsible for the just and equitable distribution of wealth for they have the wealth of the country in their hands and they have the education and they have the voice. They are the ground forces that can engage to the benefit of the underclass within the law and structures of the state. There are very many of them in SA. Yet the people remain poor.

These bourgeois have turned out to be an impediment to the growth of freedom in SA. They believe they fulfil their function in terms of the virtue of selfishness.

Many in the ANC have seen this all the time.

The gleeful shouts and open triumphalism of the bourgeois on this blog at the signs of failure is a blind death wish: they are welcoming their own inability.

Stupidity is wondrous thing.

I just cant believe there are people in this country who believes, the country should burn to teach the ANC a lesson, no one disputes the ineffective and ineptness of the ANC but can we really say it is better to burn anbd destroy the townships, with the majority of those saying living in gated communities what are you implying, you black lot destroy yourselves and leave us alone, one thing is for sure and i pity the ANC and the black liberation movements for failing to take the black masses in their confidence and teach them about deomcracy, instead they became to involved with votes and election promises, it is a big shame because it is now an irreversible damage which is rather sad because our people poor as they are not able to discern that we are the last hope for every fleeing African person and as such dont necessary have anywhere to go when we torch and destroy our country, one we too proud to be refugees and two too arrogant to be accepted anywhere in Africa, as such it is much to our advantage to secure our country with that which is ugly and reprehensible, because it is our only future including those in gated communities despite their prppensity to dual citizenships
