...just can't decide whether I will E it or + it :D

Years ago, I was indeed a commie bastard. But as I have aged, my capitalist tendencies have tainted me. I was a card-carrying member of a revolutionary party years ago (not the one you think) but as I matured, I realised there was more to the world. I have never lost my compassion for my fellow human being but I have lost patience for those that only ever have their hand out and refuse to use that hand to change their lot in life, even if it is merely to make an X against the new oppressor. I will probably go DA as a result, although I am very far from them ideologically. I would probably be closer to EFF if they weren't so anti-white and blindly committed to nationalisation without proper assessment.

There is no way in hell that I can endorse the current oppressor - especially when I consider just how much contempt JZ has shown the most faithful (and destitute) of his supporters - the indigent. He has created a problem that will take our country years to fix.

BEE?

In general a liberal party with a sadly slight conservative leaning.

Not BEE, they're still fairly conflicted on that owing to their attempt to please the black voters while at the same time trying not to alienate their conservative block.

A vote for the ACDP is a vote for the ANC. They almost always vote together.

Nonsense. They almost always vote the opposite way. Even when the DA votes with the ANC, the ACDP typically votes the other way. And you know it.

Mmm so a vote for the DA is more likely to be a vote for the ANC then than what Ghoti claims about the ACDP. They share so many philosophies, the NDP, Youth Wage Subsidy, Labour Brokers, Affirmative Action etc :eek:

Agang was top of my list until the Mamphela debacle. Because of that event, I will no longer vote for them.

ANC? No.
DA? No.
EFF? No.
COPE? No.

The other minority parties won't get my vote as I know nothing about them or their policies. Thus I think I'll spoil my vote.
 
I don't agree with their point of view but I'm voting for the DA because they are the least disgusting and thuggish of the major parties.

Although let's be honest, at this point the elections don't matter when the demographics are so completely messed up.

No, the sewerage is not free, it is a function of water used but I do not know the details. For that bill this is the sewerage amounts:

first 4.5kl free
then 3.4kl @R7.2
then 7.2kl @ R13.56
then 11.39 kl @ R14.82
and finally 0.019kl @ R15.56

Ours is (excl VAT):
up to 0,8 kl/d - R8.43
next 0,8 kl/d - R10.56
next 1,0 kl/d - R12.54
next usage per kl/d - R21.36

Sewerage is additional based on water consumption.
