Well done, Madam Zille :)
It seems the world is growing louder, people are waking up and a positive change seems to finally be upon us :D

Us Kaapies will remember Nomaindia as the worst mayor our city has ever had. She was totally incompetant in her job then, and it seems she still is. Some things never change.

So let's get this straight. The mayor was in his car, but had no idea of how fast he was travelling. The police escort had it's blue lights on but he never noticed.
FFS, was he drunk or asleep?
And what makes...

An awesome article highlighting what can only be described as an incredibly efficient and dedicated person. Well done, Mr Maynier!

I especially like the bit about not being entitled to accept gifts of more than R1,000. I think that's fair.
The bit of having "wasted" approximately R57-million is just pathetic. Pathetic, but not surprising.
Unmitigated drivel from the Minister of Defence. God help us if this is a reflection of the average level of debate in parliament. I find it hard to believe someone can be so idiotic and yet still coherent.

Mcebisi Skwatsha is a slow learner, but his years in and around Western Cape politics seem to have taught him one thing: Dont disregard coloured people. In the days after the ANC's 2004 victory in the Western...

You know, this whole racial- and gender-bias thing is working on my tits. What's wrong with an all-female or all-male cabinet/committee? Having something dangling between your legs or two things bobbing around on your chest or being black or being white doesn't miraculously mean...
I've just watched this video on Zoopy - yes, it's local.
I thought that this was quite brilliant. Ms Zille exposes the ANC's corruption and just how much the ANC "cares" about the poor and the homeless.
Unfortunately this video is a year old, is there any news on what happened with this...

Personally, I think a party will do more to bolster its image by fighting for justice and the law than by campaigning.
Regardless, what is it when one person's rights infringe on those of another? *shrug*
