Agreed, but nothing sells newspapers like a good dose of street justice.
Yes, but then they would be degrading themselves to the level of the WC opposition.

From what I've heard it's the opposite, do you think they just won the province with the just the votes of the rich folk along the beach?
As opposed to any other governing party in this country besides the DA. You're now arguing the wrong point, and blindly missing the obvious.
Do you honestly believe that? Do you not see that its a few elite and middle class black folk who are benefiting whilst the majority remains in poverty. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Your thinking has done little to nothing for the poor.
Why?
The irony is that you'd be paying the guavamints in other countries more than here, even though you have to look after alot more people here.
Exactly, we are now a more unequal society than in 1994.
People need to learn that they must take responsibility for their own lives. A nanny state is not going to help anybody, especially the poor.
I know you hate the ANC. I do too for the most part. I'm sure the residents know that the ANC is squandering money that is meant for them, my guess to why as I mentioned earlier was that they may feel they're fuscked either way so prefer voting for a party that claims to have their interests at heart.
The stats don't seem to favour your remark:
It has declined "between-race", which shouldn't come as a surprise, but it has it has increased "within-race".
Now you're just perpetuating the same lies as the ANCYL. Still waiting for your response here BTW:

Crap!
The distribution of wealth in South Africa is now more unequal than what it was a decade ago, the SA Institute of Race Relations said.
"[It] may be an unintended consequence of the country's black economic empowerment and employment equity policies," SAIRR researcher Kerwin Lebone said.
This is according to the so-called Gini measure, which has increased over the past decade from 0.64 and 0.66 in South Africa.
The Gini scale measures the level of wealth distribution. Zero represents perfect equality, while a score of one represents perfect inequality.
Most developed countries have scores of between 0.20 and 0.40.
In South Africa, most racial groups saw their Gini scores increase over the past 10 years, meaning that the distribution of wealth has become more unequal.
"Among whites, however, the Gini co-efficient decreased from 0.50 in 1998 to 0.46 in 2008," said Lebone, quoting from data published in the latest South Africa Survey.
The Gini increased among Africans by seven percent, and among Indians and coloureds by nearly four percent. The Gini was above 0.6 in all provinces in South Africa, with the gap between the richest and poorest being the widest in KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga and the lowest in the Western Cape.
Yes I do. My thinking has given more people than ever before a voice, human rights and basic services. I never said the majority were not still in poverty I said the majority have a better life. I'm sure if the DA was in control they would implement my thinking better which would lead to an even better life.
Imagine if in 1994 the ANC just said to their people what you guys think about life and how the poor should live. That they must just work harder and the injustices of the past would be balanced out. That a good life will not fall in their laps. No housing, services, education, BEE or AA to help them. Ha ha... They'd all still be maids, gardeners and manual labourers.
It is what most civilized human beings WORK towards, but the ANC scumbags and their kid gang of thugs ANCYL WANT and demand without WORKING for these luxuries.You are being racist. You could have said what you said without the use of white man, and it would have made sense, except I think they are a lot more realistic than wanting mansions and being fed grapes. Wanting mansions and being fed grapes is something that most human beings want.
Because the ANC led city, province and country appears to be incapable of maintaining roads or the water system in this country.
And you know what? I'd be quite happy to pay a lot more because I'd actually get some benefits from my tax money such as free schooling or medical. Instead I have no water, nor drivable road for my efforts. Here my money just goes into a black corrupt hole.
Yes it will. When implemented correctly. It is more than just the fact that they are poor.

Only a few benefit from this system you talk about, while the rest are still doomed. So there is just as many poor maids, gardeners and manual labourers amongst these people as there ever has been. So what's changed I ask you?

Now it will not. Give a man a fish; you have fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.
The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money![]()
