WHAT do other non-affected people ( neutral ) in Knysna have to say ?
Do YOU know ?
Do you live in Knysna ?
The way I see it is that if you are genuinely interested in discovering how the DA operates you will do what I have done and that is pick up any thread that bugs you about your local politics. Are there accusations of corruption that have never been followed through on?
A favourite DA tactic is to make statements in the press about this or that corruption that ALWAYS make them look like they are on the side of right, but they never ever follow through.
It isn't in their interests to get the corrupt person out. They want them in place to do the damage until such time they fark up so royally that the DA can swoop in and capture the town. It is at this point that some other person will take the blame for all the mistakes, poor administration, etc that had occured in such a fashion that no-one stops to ask - where the fark where the DA councillors while all this was going on right under their noses - and a few key personnel will be fired.
There will be mutterings about prosecutions which will never happen. Any reports about any wrongdoing will be mentioned, but never made public. At this point the townspeople have been told so many times about how wonderful the DA are, they swallow all this shite hook, line and farking sinker.
They are so tired of all the crap and ongoing shenanigans that they don't even fight when their electricity, rates, water etc go through the roof - first excuse is 'we have to sort out the outstanding debt', then the next year there is another excuse, and the year after that another 'reason' is given. Meantime nothing is actually run better, you just pay more.
Then the building work starts - under the guise of 'job creation', there will be roadworks, a mall or two, municipal land sold off for a development, RDP houses - all contracts going to their buddies in the construction industry, oh and now the latest is the farking electronic water meters - with subsidiary companies being set up so you don't immediately associate it with the people who put in the water meters in COCT - all of course for your "benefit" - HA!
And they will publish totally bullshit reports about how they have turned the town around after the big bad ANC farked it up (with lots of help from their 'friends') while the residents bleed money in their general direction. All so the DA can ultimate achieve their goal of a little state capture of their own.
Read the news reports - this picture is there to be seen. Look at any town where there has been ongoing jockeying for control of the town between the ANC and the DA for a few years. Go back, read the press reports, read what the DA and then look at what they actually do.
There are examples of everything I have said all over South Africa.
Look at what happens when an ANC run town is put in administration under the DA. Look at the increases the DA introduce as soon as they can.
