Imagine telling people for 29yrs that you'll give them land, housing, water, electricity, roads and jobs....and you still have no clue how you'll deliver it.
Imagine listening to those promises for 29yrs, and still thinking it's about to come true...

The Indian born Gupta family was never arrested by the Hawks for acquiring their citizenship fraudently. They made headlines by landing their chartered flight at a national keypoint & had police escorts to deliver them safely to Sun City. Sam needs to up his game!
Zimbabwean born businessman Sam Mshengu of Sam Holdings has been arrested by the Hawks in South Africa for allegedly acquiring his South African citizenship fraudulently.
Sam made headlines after going to the Durban July with a convoy of 100 luxury vehicles.

I remember when

announced his R500bn economic relief package. He knew that we knew it was never going end up where he said it was going to end up.
Nigerian Consulate - R600k
Church - R740k
Sandton hotel - R2.3mil
Well done on cutting off non-paying clients
@CityPowerJhb
!
My only question is how on earth you can let any client get to that level of debt in the first place!
There's no 'in the long run' Baba, you have no plan. You're a fraud, like the thief who appointed you. You're a political tourist, casually indulging your vanity in the media while you and your comrades play games with people's lives. Shut up and walk away.

A strange coincidence this past week - a Zimbabwean petrol pump attendant in Jhb, & then a Zimbabwean businessman (now a hotelier in the US), told me almost exactly the same thing!!
And they both had a sad, knowing expression:
"Where your country is going...I've seen it before"

I wonder if Cyril mentioned any of this at his investor conference?
There's a storm coming Mr President.
A storm that breaks when ministers mock your lockdown to eat & laugh in luxury
While desperate people don't have access to transport...or food.
Its a storm built on hunger, charged by ministers who mock.

Things we KNOW will happen at regular intervals in SA:

2. Incompetent people will be appointed to run municipal finances & ruin it
3. There'll be another commission of enquiry

People assume the worst just because
@CyrilRamaphosa
didn't report a robbery from 2yrs ago. Just STOP it!
You know very well it takes a while to appoint a Task Team to start stakeholder engagement that will advise the committee to take immediate action and dial 10111...
You may agree, or not. I'll say it anyway:
SA is being held hostage.
Our economy is a pig's trough. Taxpayers are mocked by the sheer scale of looting.
The poor are imprisoned by welfare grants.
And

When the last Zimbabwean is deported, and there's still unemployment,
When the last Nigerian is deported and there are still drugs,
When the last Pakistani is deported and there's crime, What strategy will we have then?
Why can't we just do that now?
SA's greatest loss was the hijacking of our children's future by a cabal of the most infantile, pretentious, corruptible, self-important, deceitful, entitled social rejects ever to pull off a 30yr heist of taxpayer funds.
Political discourse has never been more facile & petulant.

I decided that if 'My Fellow South Africans' extends the lockdown, I'm going straight to my nearest cop shop, giving them a R1000 pre-paid fine and I'm opening a spaza shop selling bunny chows to all you bastards who will also be defying the lockdown!
When unemployable anarchists congeal to stop other people from working so they can feel better about their own futile, empty and utterly meaningless lives
Dear voter, I'd like to offer you a sobering thought: we left our ONLY HOPE of surviving a global pandemic in the hands of a Govt that broke the economy even before lockdown.

If there's an absolute certainty in SA, it's that as long as there's human suffering,
#ANC
will find a way to profit from it.
It's the natural order of things - night follows day; vultures pick at a carcas; cadres will eat while sending condolences.
This 'time and space' kak needs to stop. Govt departments & leaders who are exposed must submit to a full investigation and stop behaving like they are in a state of bereavement. You're not the victim, you're perpetrator. Nobody owes you time & space.
UK, USA, Germany, Switzerland & Netherlands: Hi guys, we're looking to invest in your economy...

After all the spectacle & drama of

tribal factions & their scavenging grifters. There's no plan for blackouts, the economy, unemployment, corruption & violent crime... There's nothing.

Be assured, an
