Shame on our president for spending all that money on his own home to be warm and slepp well while hundreds of thousands live in tin shacks with winter on the way. Shame on the president for spending all that money to protect only his family while millions of women and even babys are raped. Shame on him. Hopefully, we South Africans will make the change required to get these poor out of the shacks and not tolerate police brutality and enforce proper policing that looks out for the millions of women that get raped. I am waiting for that change as I am sure that the masses are getting gatvol.

As usual an excellent article which has hit the nail on the head! I am in total agreement with Gavin.

I wish there were more people in South Africa who had half a brain with which to understand how much money is squandered and misappropriated! Unfortunately the majority of SA voters do not understand the concept of fair, uncorrupt governance and only listen to the lies and promises of the politicians.

Gavin , i totally agree with your comments, but the only way we can change the "status quo" is to go and vote, as lets face it whilst we are all by your definition "accessories" to the attrosities being committed by the ruling party , i am a firm believer that as we become a more and more mature democracy, the large number of todays unedecated voters will be tomorrows educated voters in the future (something that not even this Government can stop as people are hungry to be educated) and current elected parties are living on borrowed time as they are going to have to start delivering to the people. I sense a genuine growing intelorance of many of the masses that have been hard done by ,thanks to the likes of our present leader that feels nothing at plundering the coffers of tax payers money for his own personal gain, but i remain optimistic that with time , sense will ultimately prevail and a credibel party that wants to "SERVE" its people rather RULE its people will come to bear........or am i just the eternal optimist.
One thing is for sure, i will see you in the voting queue come the 7th May to vote for a party that i firmly believe will be committed in "serving" its people and think that this election will be the start of a steady demise of the current ruling party.
Can you imagine the political intolerance if the official opposition was voted into power by the people in 2014, anarchy would prevail, so lets take this step by step and see a slow and transitional shift of power as i am sure there will be a few pleasant surprises that will be realzed after this election.
Lets us the present "accessories" stand together and vote for change for the better !!!
