Good for him. He has my respect.

In a normal post-colony, elections are nothing more than a means to legitimise patronage and corruption. Beneficiaries of patronage are the most energetic in political campaigns and the most generous in contributing money for the success of their preferred political parties.

They ask themselves "If my party does not win, how am I going to pay for my German car, my Scotch whisky and my for European-style town house or mansion?"

The author speaks the truth, albeit a bit jaded.

Skin colour is of no consequence. Anyone can 'see the light' as far as the true nature of politicians, regardless of her/his skin colour.

Sarcasm, you dont seem to have picked up on it in me previous post;)
 
If a mod is going to change my heading, could he just write it correctly ... or is it maybe a 'she'?

My reason for stating it's a black man is just to show that some black people can also admit to the government being corrupt.

It seems like you didn't read the article before you spoke.

I read it, Saw Prince on the news last night saying similar things...
I think all black people think and know the ANC is "corrupt" but they still voted for them.

Your thread title was a little prejudice imo.

Prejudice! How? I stated he was a black man just to show that he was a man that went against his own people to show what is wrong. I also added that he has my respect. I could have similarly said that about a white man going against the NP of old. I would have meant the same thing.
