I often wonder what atrocities have to happen in this country before the masses realise that South Africa is making a fast decent into a Zimbabwe-like state.
How poor do people have to be before they stand up and fight for their rights? How many people have to be without running water and electricity before they stand up and fight? How many more people have to be without work before they stand up and fight?
How low must this country go before the masses realise that the government doesn't care about us common folk.
Why is it that at every election it is the same government, who steals from their own brethrens pockets, elected into power? How much more must be taken away before people realise they are not helping themselves by voting in a government just because they are the same colour.
How many more houses in Sandton must be bought for ministers with the working classes tax money?
How many more schools must be without desks, books and basic necessities before their eyes are opened?
How many more hospitals must be without lifesaving equipment just because a minister wanted a fancy Mercedes?
Forget about what skin colour the president is and vote for a government that will bring this country back to its former glory. Forget about apartheid and racism, we all live here in Africa so we might as well just get on with living together.
