I must have missed that - of course my post was not made in spite of it. If there’s actual proof that the post is BS then fine. I just didn’t see it.

The SA Politics Thread Part 2

Do you see what I am seeing? :p:p https://municipalities.co.za/services/1090/umngeni-local-municipality Worded very carefully though... the number is "Access to FBS"... not actively getting them BUT it does bring into question the number the DA is punting though without a doubt.

But ignoring that for a minute, answer this one for me, just on general knowledge of South African politics did you read that post and found nothing odd with the DA saying they found only 133 people in the indigent register from a municipality in KZN that includes a couple of townships? Totally no alarm bells were raised by that?

Sure, but the ANCs poor service levels know no bounds. I however didn’t 100% believe the numbers. All political parties lies - all politicians lie. It’s just to which degree.

But to answer your question directly, it felt “off” but I shrugged it off and moved on.

You can trust on me never to shrug any lies told by the DA off, imagine what kind of murder they can get away with if we do that? I scrutinize everything posted about the DA, not that I won't call out lies from the ANC but because I know that someone will probably beat me to it and there will be even more people calling the lies out.

No political party will be allowed to get away with lies under my watch, no holy cows.

Mate, I shrug off lies from all political parties. Because they all lie.

Zambia had peaceful transitions since the 90s.
The same with Lesotho since the late 90s.

Not completely. The more North you go sure. But here in the South things are relatively democratic and peaceful, except in Zimbabwe (hoping that changes next year).

Convenient copout.

I've been to Zambia, have you?

Yes, they chased the whites out back in the day (1960's) just like Zim and the rest of Africa. It took them 30 years to realise their racist ways and now this is where are are now.

Still, they are super ****ed still. Yes, they don't hate whites anymore, but still, they are nowhere near like SA, if we had to compare, maybe it will take 30 Zambia's to equal one SA.

What’s the current state of Zambia? Is it a better place than SA to be in?

So, we should all emigrate there? Not being murdered is a nice benefit.

That is the only benefit.

It's still proper Africa where they eat grilled rat kebabs as street food, water and power works for a few hours a day.

I would rather live here in a first world country and just look after myself.

It was in 2014 when their president fled to SA but I think that coup was unsuccessful.

Those guys are always smelling blood, I would be very surprised if they don't turn on the new guy on a couple of years, Tom Thabane spent almost all his Prime Ministership holed up in South Africa.
