That's why I feel over the next five years the opposition parties have a job to educate voters across the spectrum in preparation for 2014.

Agreed, A white woman attacking a black man does not go down well with people who have basic education (If even that)

The ANC will win this one on those votes. I know that most non-white people I know, will not vote ANC again, and are going for an opposition,

If any party wants to win the next one, then they need to work on the really poor areas that still believe ANC and Mandela are the same thing

There was an ad this morning on the radio outlying everything the DA has done in Cape Town. Isn't this what you were looking for?

So you haven't read it, yet you proclaim its not worth your time. What an ignorant attitude. And I'm sitting on a high horse?

But then please stop complaining that you are unaware of the policies if you couldn't be bothered to take the time to read them. You're wasting everyone's time.

Why the attitude?

I haven't read their policies, but I have certainly read about their (and other's) policies. You're welcome to inform yourself however you want to, accept that others may choose to do so differently.
 
And whose to blame for that? Didn't the ANC promise freedom for all? Why, after 15 years of ANC rule, are black people still afraid and uneducated?

Answer: Because the ANC kept them afraid and uneducated.

Because if you are a black person living in Rural SA, you are afraid that if you dont vote the ANC, then aparatheid will come back. The uneducated are ruled by fear

Uh no, I'm saying R2million worth of business was given to China to print t-shirt with the slogan "Jobs for All" on the front. Strike you as ironic, and a complete lie, doesn't it?

That is the whole point i was trying to make. That is where they need to focus their campaign. Telling a person with no access to internet DON'T VOTE ZUMA will cause them to vote DA? Come on!

"I'm not going to read it because its BS", how would you know that unless you read it? Exactly. That preconceived attitude.

The DA are alienating people. And no one votes for people that make them take a step back. Helen Ziller is a great mayor though. The DA still has a good chance, especially in the WC

I think that he's referring to the way parties would obviously sell themselves on their websites, and rather chooses to get his information about the various parties from independent sources.
 
And just btw i actually thought about signing up to be part of the DA in some shape or form because i do feel they are the best chance we have of living in an SA i long for.

Perhaps i could tackle their marketing campaign :D

timgaul, you're not following. I am saying that there needs to be more campaigning like this, and less "Stop Zuma".

Unfortunately, the DA's messages like this are being drowned out by their "Stop Zuma" hysteria.

Well there you go, a more positive and actively participating attitude would serve everyone's interests a lot better. I like, is nice ;)

Correct. And that goes for all parties.

Same way as when I make a largish purchase, I'll check what other people say about the product rather than just trusting the manufacturer's claims.

agree with this too, that is why they will win on votes from people like this.

however remember that the violence of apartheid is something people cant forget. and until another party makes them realise that they have nothing to fear, they will vote ANC.

ride in a taxi or on a bus one day and hear the conversations that go down. its easy to judge people's decisions when you sitting in front of your PC at work, that you drove to in your car, getting paid to be on this forum, in your nice clothes sipping coffee......

We need a stronger opposition party that appeals to the nation
