ANC: White foreign forces behind platinum strike

i blame the brainless, those that force people to strike to make their point as it put them on a power trip. Unfortunately its the working man at the bottom losing as he is either out of pay or out of life. Tough choice!

How long before we see a press release from Eskom showing stats that white people use more power than black people, so we're to blame for rolling blackouts?
 
Let's think about it. The whites in SA do not support the ANC. Half support the DA and the other half are FF+. Now, how can the ANC or any African government for that matter, run a country without the support of the people which own the most? I have over reacted in my first post but it makes my blood boil if I see how ignorant some forumites are. I don't mind if people laugh and ridicule me. I got used to that in here. But don't keep on attacking the blacks under the ANC banner. And some of you do just that at each and every opportunity.
 
Even if what you were hinting at were remotely true... one vote, no matter how much you earn.

Your argument holds no water, and you just go and do what you don't want others to do.

Point out the ignorance and with facts show them they are wrong.

So first, point out the racist post then secondly show us who was ignorant. ( those who has not been shown in a proper way that they were wrong)

You are ridiculed because you don't understand economics and the principals of a free market which our country claims to be. And for making comments like half of white people support the FF+ etc. You only bring it upon yourself educate yourself as much as you can to understand the other view points and then make up your own mind dont blindly follow someone elses opinion.
 
The AnC still get the people who voted against them's tax money.
Maybe you should explain that as well.

Get a grip mate. It doesn't matter who owns what in the private sector. It shouldn't interfere in the way the country is run. The fact that the educated class do not vote for the ANC (do not construe this as me saying whites are educated and blacks aren't because it is far from what I am saying. The DA is getting a large increase in the number of urban, black, middle class voters. Look at the ward results from the elections and it is the middle class suburbs both black and white and everything in between who primarily vote DA) says more about their running of the country and their ability to manage the private sector.

DA - 22.23%
VF(or FF for you) - 0.90%

So according to you da vote = 50% and FF vote = 50% which is 100% of the white vote.
So we deduct 0.90% from 22.23% and we get 21.33% which translates to 3 925 252 votes which must all have been black.

So you won't have any problem finding an example for us then?

Maybe they should have taken that into consideration before they started pissing off the whites then.

However, ironic that you of all people should call other forumites ignorant.
No wonder people laugh and ridicule you all the time.
 
It's simply unbelievable how scared the ANC is of white people.
 
MANTASHE "XENOPHOBIC": WASP

ANC heavyweight Gwede Mantashe has been accused of playing a "xenophobic card" by suggesting white foreigners were interfering in the platinum mining strike.

"We condemn this attempt by the ANC to again play a racist, xenophobic card," the Workers and Socialist Party (Wasp) said on Monday.

Deputy general secretary Liv Shange said in a statement this was done to detract from how the African National Congress-led government and the capitalist economy it presided over was failing mineworkers.

Mantashe, ANC secretary general, told reporters in Johannesburg on Sunday the party leadership had questioned whether the platinum strike, which began on January 23, was political.

"The articulation of Amcu's [Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union's] position by white foreign nationals is signalling interest of the foreign forces in the destabilisation of our economy," he said at the time.

Amcu members at Lonmin, Impala Platinum, and Anglo American Platinum downed tools on January 23 demanding a basic monthly salary of R12,500.

They have so far rejected the companies' offer that would bring their cash remuneration to R12,500 by July 2017.

Shange said: "Of course the ongoing platinum strike is political, for both workers and employers, in the sense that it is a contestation for power over the wealth of society.

"The mineworkers don't need me or any foreigner to come and tell them that."

Wasp deputy president Mametlwe Sebei said on Monday Mantashe's comments mirrored those he made a year ago.

In June last year, Independent Online quoted Mantashe saying: "What is happening in Marikana... I can give you what comes out of that information. Anarchy, anarchy, anarchy driven by people who are from far away, Sweden, Irish," Mantashe said.

Later that month, the Sunday Independent quoted him saying: "...the reality is that it is a Swedish citizen who is at the centre of anarchy in the platinum belt. I did not suck it out of my thumb."

Sebei said Shange, who is Swedish and had been living in South Africa for 10 years, played a role in co-ordinating the 2012 mineworkers' strike for a R12,500 wage.

Shange had visa problems when attempting to re-enter South Africa last year, after returning from visiting her parents in Sweden with her children, during the June school holidays.

By July 15, she was allowed back into South Africa on a tourist permit.

Sebei said the party made no apologies for supporting Amcu's demand for a R12,500 monthly wage, and called on other unions to strike in support of platinum mineworkers.

So they are saying, that the miners listens to a blond Swedish women?
This just gets more bizarre as it goes on.

And what does white have to do with it?

I'm not so sure that I buy this. Blaming it on a single person is far to easy.
What I have heard from the inside is that it is still the amcu leaders demanding a pay off.
