Yep, I think its how majority are feeling at the moment

Yeah but this dude seems sincere and motivated to actually do ****.
Considering to at least send him the fuel money I save during lockdown even if it's a fart in the wind.

If I'm going to be stuck in this sh*thole I might as well throw some of it at the wall to see if it sticks.

Petitions don't do squat.

If you really want this government to do something about it, its time to start with the only thing they do understand.

Toy-toy, burn schools or government buildings, block roads.
For true results you should actually start with her and other ministers houses
;)

Could be a dick and start lecturing about responsibility and so on, but unfortunately - this is an African fact.
Its the only way to get attention from these people.

She could be less indebted, or she could have more dirt on everyone. Remember she was married to the head of intelligence?
Should take her childish games and personal differences and GTFO ......
When it affect kids or animals who cant defend themselves, then it deserves no breathing space on our earth.

It still amazes me that people think the president actually has any control over anything in this country. Sure he selects the ministers and appoints them, but if you don't think he's told exactly who to select then I have a bridge to sell you.
Remember, the ANC can recall the president at any time. He's merely a deployee of the party. The NEC voted in favour of cyril by the narrowest of margins, and in fact only because of a very unexpected alliance with Mabuza's faction, in return for which he was handed deputy presidency ...
If he tries ANYTHING dramatic to clean up, like getting rid of the Zumites, then you can bet that favours/blackmail will very swiftly be discussed behind closed doors, and he will be instructed to step down.
Don't think he was elected by them. The entire NEC including the president was elected by the branches.

IIRC if he's recalled as president (of the ANC, not the country), it has to go to a vote again. Same reason they were hesitant to recall Zuma until the was no longer ANC president...

Gents, I'm either being tested or this is true, been told that ndz got it right to get cigarettes banned till level one, this comes from an mp, not gonna name anyone obviously but it doesn't look good "she pressed for the ban until level one and got her way" direct quote.

Don't give a ****. Have sources. Cost a bit more but that it the price of oppression.

If they do that, then smokers need to all go cold turkey and give a concerted fukk you to her funders.

Yup that's what I said, the only way to really hurt them now is to not actually buy smokes for awhile. Let them than realise that their back pockets aren't being filled.

While I do agree; knowing them, they will say after 2000 people quit smoking that smoking is banned forever.

OK that's it.
Spent 3 hours this afternoon watching his videos.

This guy is it. He's exactly the type of person this place needs and if I ever run across him I'd give this big bastard a sloppy kiss.
That channel he's got going is also exactly the type of alt-media we need that the US etc. have had for years now... the view count is pathetic though and people need to start spreading his stuff.

He's getting my $50 a month, then I'll take it from there.
If I can at least offload my own slapgatgheid by just doing what I do and funnelling what I'd normally spend and can't due to commie logic to people like him then I'll do it.

I don't care if it's a fool's errand, I'm gatvol of just moaning.
