Let me put a question to you: do you think the ANC has to put in the same amount of effort to get the same number of votes as the DA does? What I mean is to get 1 million votes, does the ANC have to campaign as much as the DA?

Also my reference to head of the household example is that the DA's strategy is to try and brings facts to the table but people's decisions aren't always based on that.. there's a lot of other stuff going on. No matter how hard the DA campaigns, if certain people are dictated by others closer to them (i.e. head of a household) on how to vote, then the DA cannot do anything about that. Agreed?

Since you elaborated after I have already responded, are you saying DA voters are not influenced by heads of households and that only happens with non DA voters, making things heavily skewed against the DA?

To be honest, if you are not number 1 it simply means you are not good enough, you can have all the reasons in the world why you are not number 1, but it all comes back to the initial conclusion, you are just not good enough.

And you are clearly not good enough either. If you were, you would be feeding along with the other cadres

That's very nice ...but what has this got to do with politics?
I mean there are literally thousands of private companies running training programs across the country

Let's make it interesting and see if you can figure it out on your own, you have 24hrs and you are allowed to call three friends.

How is that interesting? I already said I can't and don't want to figure it out. If my other 2 friends don't know can you be friend #3? ...pretty please...???
[edit. actually...scratch that. This reminds me too much of the drama my ex-wife used create out of nonsense. I think I have an appointment to squirt sulphuric acid up my bottom in the next 24 hours. Going to rather do that]

Yes, after 24hrs and exhausting your three friends' wisdom, I am going to provide the answer.

I wouldn't say there is no influence - there are lots of families where they are all vote DA but I'm talking about the tribal chief who tells his huge flock (i.e. people who are not his family) about who to vote. Also in poorly educated communities, ANC activists are known to tell voters they can determine who they voted for...it is silly but some people believe that. Again, the DA (nor any other political party) can compete with that type of behaviour.

You are drifting into the realm of rumour mongering that is at the level of Cosmik Debris story of the Witchdoctor who sniffs out non ANC voters in the community, which is something I cannot respond to.

But there is nothing wrong with a traditional leader who is a supporter of the ANC campaigning for the ANC, many ANC members are traditional leaders, remember the DA got King Dalindyebo to do the same thing? But you are right, they can't compete on that front, but again, nothing is unfair about it.

Soo Champy does'nt give the full story again
That is a company that is being paid by its students
They are effectively offering N1 to N3 in mech work
So in other words they are on the level of a technical school

This has buggerall to do with polictics and politicians other than said politician giving out some award because a company is making money doing what they do
