No more big parties for any political party
No more expensive cars for any politicians
All politicians to use government schools and hospitals

I am not a politician but an ordinary observant bona fide South African. Politicians don’t care about our youth future all they care is how much they could loot before their term is over. It cost a lot of tax payers’ money to change from one system to another and when the changes is in transit it’s where the valve loop to their own pockets is created in the form of tender. We all know for a fact that most politicians stay in expensive suburbs, their kids in private schools if not oversee.
Only youth of this country contributed in the freedom of this country and this is what they get:
• Fly by Night education system
• Queuing, stampede and squashing for Varsity entry.
• Jobless after graduating
• Opening Zimbabwan Home Affairs offices in RSA to cater for the foreigners at the expense of us the voters.
• To have Parkistan’s tuck shops around every door in our locations and Indians corridor shops in all our Towns and Cities across the whole country.
• Who cares about education when you got a living proof that education doesn’t pay and you don’t need it to be on top of the world. ( Do scanning of our leadership).
This country no matter how proud we are, is going down, that’s why we’re not in the CAF competition, bright and intelligent people have be made to sit at the back and led by the blinds
If you look at what that all includes you will see there isn't much more for them to stuff up. It's time to stop voting for a revolution which happened 20 yrs ago and vote for you future. Report Abuse

I read in the Sunday Times that there are only 3.5 million individual tax payers who besides companies, keeping the whole country going. We should boycott or just pay our tax late to show the government that we are not happy that they are wasting and stealing our tax money.
Let the people on grants realise that it is not the ANC giving them cash but it is the taxpayer .
some people are just lazy.... must be a culture thing. no wonder Africans couldnt build or develop anything for themselves and they rely so heavily on whites for everything.
We can huff and puff all we like but as long as idiots who dont see that the ruling party is just milking the coffers dry, we not going anywhere.

Nothing but the trueth only, to confirm the fact some of the houses were built before my birth mid sixties but those houses stood the test of times as compared to this cheap yester RDP houses falling apart, most of their roofs upported by big rocks to avoid blown off.
