What idiots don't realise is that the money spent on Cape Town stadium, for example, was either Cape Town's or it was someone else's. If the city refused to build a stadium, the government would not have given Cape Town the money anyway and said we should use it for something else. That is completely misinformed thinking. Therefore, the logical decision was to accept the money government was offering.
If people have an issue, they should be complaining to the national government about it, not local government. I mean seriously, if someone is waving billions of Rand at you asking you to spend it on a brand new stadium, transport infrastructure and the like, or to get nothing, what is the logical step to take?
Furthermore, this whole anti-DA thing is completely idiotic, as the numbers speak for themselves. The City of Cape Town is the highest-rated municipality in the country. When the DA first came into power the city had a deficit of BILLIONS. They have now turned that around to a surplus, and not only that, but they've helped revive the inner city. The Western Cape is also the only province in the country where unemployment is decreasing as opposed to increasing. Housing delivery far exceeds that of the national average, yet somehow they're anti-poor. They're in the process of building two massive hospitals in Khayelitsha and Mitchell's Plain, yet they're supposedly anti-poor. Crime in the former township has decreased by 60% in recent years thanks to their efforts, but no, they're anti-poor. Despite residents demanding unenclosed toilets so that they could build around them as additions to homes, and the subsequent toy-out-of-cot-throwing, they offered to enclose them, but no, they're anti-poor.
Simply put, anyone complaining simply knows nothing. Perhaps they should take a little trip East to our neighbouring province and enjoy the "fruits" of the ANC's "hard labour." Then we'll see.
