DA: Buses stoned in Joburg

[Bosvark@]

Will elections be really free and fair? How much of this intimidation do we not hear about?

"Johannesburg - Three buses carrying DA supporters were stoned, two of them severely, in Alexandra and near the FNB Stadium in Soweto on Sunday, the party said.

Gauteng police and Johannesburg metro police were not immediately aware of the incidents.

Democratic Alliance Gauteng candidate Mmusi Maimane said in a statement that hundreds of DA members were being interviewed by police after "ANC ambushes".

The DA buses were taking supporters to a DA "We Can Win" concert at Walter Sisulu Square, in Kliptown, Soweto. The ANC is holding a rally at the FNB Stadium around 15km away.

Maimane said the driver of one of the buses was hospitalised.

"One bus was so heavily stoned that it is no longer usable."

Maimane's spokesperson Kelly Clark could not immediately give further clarity on where the incidents happened."

No need to insult savages.

They make savages look like aristocrats

More fallout from "no education without liberation". The people are clearly not free.

 

[chrisc]

This "savage" is a verb. There is a website which teaches you how Inglish works

 

[Marcan]

It was even on BBC World Radio. Viva Democracy ANC style !!
And it will only boomerang against the ANC in the long run.

They can vote ANC if they want I'm not the one living in a shack that needs help. I live happily next to the beach.
I'll cast my vote of course, but if the DA doesn't win it's not a biggie for me... The ones throwing stones are the ones that need a better government, not me.

Let them continue to vote ANC and live in dirt, if that's what they are happy with.

That's not how it works, unfortunately. We all get the government they vote for, not just them.

But they need a capable and non-corrupt government more than I do (and most likely you all, too)
The poor will vote ANC for a long time to come, and they will suffer for it for a long time, too.

So much for democracy.

But not for a Tribal dictatorship

But not for a Tribal dictatorship

Which the EFF won't stand for

 

[xumwun]

Votes should be deducted from the relevant parties for doing **** like this.

I must have been in Joburg without knowing it because I also got stoned yesterday.

They stand to gain more from a better government, although they seem unaware of it.

Its quite sad. Its like when the DA wanted to hold a march a few months ago and they had to call it off. When you are so loyal to a party that you would be willing to injure or kill other humans who dont agree with you, something is wrong with you. It also means democracy will never work in SA. The ANC dont even need to bother rigging the elections.
