There is literally nothing DDP has done other than fly our flag and support our country with pride. Even our esteemed president supports him:

Chump and SideshowKnob are just poisoned by their hatred and anger. Really, I'd like an answer as to why DDP is 'right wing'. Show me one source for this.

No need to compare her to a scumbag but one sees your point.

Helen would be way more energetic, ethical and competent than any of the political youngsters in SA. There is simply no competition. There is no need to be age-ist as long as people can maintain their competence.

Zuma is in his 80s and running a stokvel. Cyril is almost the same age as her and running a country. They have nothing else to attack her on so they're trying this angle, because they know they are finished if she's elected mayor...

It may have been because he was spotted with a Trump shirt once, I'm not sure but I recall it from somewhere. By that same measure, Champo and company should basically be bursting through my door, falling over themselves to cover me in hugs and kisses.... :laugh:

Meh whatevs, racists hating a sports celeb because they think it's some kind of "win" is just briefly humorous, and largely irrelevant.

Screw that bullschit. Anyone over 65 has no place in politics. They can go graze with the rest of the herd or be sent off to the glue factory

That compulsory retirement age needs to be pushed into politics as well. There is zero reason for geriatrics to be determining the future of a country when they won't live to deal with the consequences of their kak decisions

A day where South Africa has a young energetic president around 40-45 and not 80-85.🕯️

Yet some countries want to raise the pension age to 70.

In May, Denmark's parliament passed a law to raise the state pension age from 67 to 70 by 2040, phasing in age 68 in 2030 and age 69 in 2035. These changes align the retirement age with life expectancy and represent Europe's most significant retirement policy update in decades.

Meanwhile, China has also adjusted its retirement rules. The retirement age for men, regardless of job type, will shift from 60 to 63, while the retirement age will go from 55 to 58 for white-collar women and from 50 to 55 for blue-collar women. All the changes will be phased in over 15 years starting in January 2025.


Could it be because the Pension Ponzi Scheme is starting to fail due to fiat currencies and a declining birth rate?

However, the central idea of the scheme of relying upon income from new investors to pay old ones ("robbing Peter to pay Paul") sounds slightly familiar - oh wait - that’s how our pensions work. HM Treasury is running a £164.6 billion a year Ponzi scheme.

The state pension - in its current incarnation - relies upon current taxpayers to pay for the pensions of the elderly. In practice, this is a transfer system moving money from young taxpayers to the retired elderly.

How the UK pension system is a massive Ponzi scheme — Adam Smith Institute

Charles Ponzi was born in Italy in 1882 and immigrated to Boston in 1903. In January 1920 he set up a small scheme that involved buying vouchers for cheap postage stamps in Italy which could also be exchanged for more expensive stamps in the United States - thus making a profit from the difference.

Finally. The gangs in bed with the DA in the Western Cape were getting out of hand.

The gangs are going to suddenly listen to an academic university professor with no policing experience whatsoever and stop doing what they've been doing for a century because he says they must stop? While being facilitated by and infiltrating the police?

Your youth, inexperience and naivety are showing.

NSFAS to cut more black students and policing is being devolved in the Western Cape.

People were spot on regarding Ramaphosa and his ties to the apartheid regime. South Africa is fast becoming South Africa Pty Ltd under him.
