Our offices are also closing for the day but I'm not keen on getting shot or arrested when s*** goes south.

Some people even want to take their small kids along. Who are they going to blame when THAT doesn't turn out quite how they planned? o.O

It's a bunch of white people marching. Terrifying!
 
Yes.

Sad to see the high amounts of NO votes and the comments, but you will be first in line to complain when the next corruption story breaks.

Make a difference and stand up for what you believe in dammit :)

So what if I complain. I have a right to complain.

Yes, we all do.

But why not try something more? We can all sit on MyBB every Monday and complain, but I assure you JZ and the ANC big wigs will not be reading it.

A few million people marching country wide against you, that will get some attention and make a difference.
 
I've tabled the marches in a Reddit thread for anyone who wants to know where they need to go and where to assemble.

As for the rest of you choosing not to exercise your constitutional right to protest because you need to work... that's OK.

But if you can get a paid Friday off, if you haven't yet spoken to anyone to try get permission for you and your colleagues to protest, or if you'd rather prefer to do something else with that free time... honestly, you're part of the problem. People who don't exercise their right to vote have no right to complain, and people who don't protest against our corrupt and inept government have no right to complain either because they chose to do nothing about it.

I cannot, as I have stated earlier in this thread. I'm not losing a day's pay for this.

Soon you won't anymore. Now get back to your important job

LOL, look at you. I'll complain as much as I want. And it's not the importance of the job, it's the importance of the paycheck. You could have figured that out for yourself.

Slightly different view. Its not about if you have time to take of for work, or if it will make a difference.

I ask this question:

One day, (if) you have kids, and they ask you, what did you do when this opportunity arose and there was a potential way to make a difference. What did you do. I dont think you want to say 'I was too busy at work to try'.

I would say "I kept you close and away from the danger".

I would say I did NOT vote the ANC into power, and yes, I was busy at work, and did not go to a march.
