They pull students out of school to protest against the anc placing Limpopo under administration. Just because the ancyl organise a march doesnt make that march valid. The march they organised in CPT was also against the youth wage which would create jobs and gain experience for the youth.

Urg, in the past, whenever these things were questioned, I had a nice list with citations, explaining directly where the services were rendered, what facilities were built. Unfortunately a week later, the same person I sent the link to, would ignore the evidence, and ask the same question you are asking now.
The website I linked Dzel yesterday, showed you exactly where the 4,000 new houses are being built. It tells us exactly which community facilities, sports centres etc were constructed.
Its public knowledge dude, you can find the audits online. Not basing my 'comments on the word of one lady'. Which is what the ANC fanboys are doing in this case. Deriving their sources from hearsay and propaganda.

ANCYL leader Mfuso Zenzile is reported to have declared "let them go to the police...we give Zille's office seven days to repospond and if there's failure to do so within seven days, we will make the city ungovernable"...
Now, depending on the circumstances, a brazen threat to render a lawful government ungovernable using violent protests could constitute sedition or even possibly treason, should ungovernablility be found to be tantamount to an attempt to overthrow a lawfully constituted Government..
If members of the ANC are using language like "to make the city or Province ungovernable" coupled with violent protests, there is indeed a prima facia case that their conduct constitutes sedition or criminal activity akin or tantamount to it.

You are merely assuming that the new schools will be built in 'white areas' as you would call it. Its unfortunately not true. The new schools are being built in rural areas.
As for the closed down schools and trucks example. Lets imagine that the truck is in bad condition. The truck is used to transport children from point A to point B. But because the truck is in such a bad shape, it puts the lives of the kids in danger. Therefore, the truck was made obsolete, and the existing pupils will be getting their rides from the other, in better shape trucks. Report Abuse

Let me lead the way by saying, there is 1 hospital in Khayelitsha/Makhaza.

...Guys, we've only got ourselves to blame for the State of Public education. Why don't we complain when half way through a schooling year pupils in Mpumalanga don't have text books and nobody to this day has been dismissed for this indiscretion Why don't we go to the schools on the first day of the school year and ensure the classes are up and running??
In the North West pupils are being prevented from attending school because of a road; and we accept this!!!! The pupils and the public are being used as pawns in the Mangaung power struggle and the public accepts this!!!
I can tell you in the case of Xhosaland funding is provided for schooling but in most onstances in misappropriated....approximately 80c/rand of monies allocated for service delivery doesn't reach the ground. We in the ANC cannot accept this any longer....no need to blame anyone except ourselves.
Mothlante doesn't have the character to lead this country...he has held one of three most senior positions in the movement since 2002, overseeing the demise of the Party. A lot of us here in KZN will make a big Shisamyama under that Presidents seat if he succeeds in Mangaung....he won't want to sit on it for too long that's for sure!!!! His hour of glory will maybe come when he stands on the steps of the Union Buildings with his dear Gugu, the first lady...the one who was Phosa's PA in 2002 at Luthuli House and then became a multi billion rand business lady....that will be his hour of glory then things will go very steadily downhill.

Sure, the students may pay more for transport costs, being integrated into successful schools. But in the long run, they gain FAR MORE by having access to decent education.

So very true and not only with regard to public education, but all aspects of social conscience.

It is time to look within, become proud of your blackness, get up...and continue to stand up...on your own merit. For surely it isn't the colour of our skin that makes a person but the attitude of our minds and hearts? Break the shackles of insecurity that your blackness has brought you in the past, stop trying to gain sympathy from the guilt of others, like a common beggar in the street. Why continue to regress, that is the lazy option and are you all not better than that?

As pointed out by Sinudeity_ only 30% of WC is white.
The DA went from just under 50% to way over 60% for the City of Cape Town. As well as won the province.
The ANC propaganda machine can spew out as much garbage and organise service delivery protests but in the end the PEOPLE have spoken and will speak again come election time.
ANC can cry foul as much as they want to. The proof will be in the 2014 elections. If the DA increases its share once again provincially in the Western Cape they will be vindicated.
The biggest problem is people in other provinces not seeing first hand the good job the DA is doing and only hear the propaganda.
Areas closer to the Western Cape are already starting to swing. For example Nelson Mandela Bay municipality was a very narrow win for the ANC.

Nwanawamukalaha - You know what is crazy? We have over a million people who moved to CT from the ECape, because of the abysmal quality of healthcare/education in the WCape. Because they couldnt get free housing in ECape.Now, these folks are in CT, and already they are demanding stuff. Not realising that the housing backlog keeps growing, because of the immigration.
The townships keep getting bigger, not smaller. And this is evident from the migration.
Now, 80% of the budget, goes to people that throw their own $h17 in their own streets. Then go on violent rampgages, and kill people. A buss driver stoned, causing the death of school children. A pregnant mother in a coma, because some d1ckhead threw a brick through her window.
The protestors keep it up, we might just decide to make the townships 'ungovernable'. Cut off their free water and electricity. Blockade their roads with burning tyres. Stone taxi's...
It goes both way my friend.

DanielrjvvurenThey same can be said of every march organised by the ancyl to further their own agenda! They marched against the open toilets but not against the ones in the free state why? They pull students out of school to protest against the anc placing Limpopo under administration. Just because the ancyl organise a march doesnt make that march valid. The march they organised in CPT was also against the youth wage which would create jobs and gain experience for the youth. They didnt even adhere to the stipulations given to be able to hold the march which proves they have no respect for law and order and believe they are entitled to do as the please. The ancyl will never need a valid reason to strike or protest.

"am not defending them, but you are taking this on faith from one lady that can not produce a single tangible display of where this elusive 76% has been spent?"
Urg, in the past, whenever these things were questioned, I had a nice list with citations, explaining directly where the services were rendered, what facilities were built. Unfortunately a week later, the same person I sent the link to, would ignore the evidence, and ask the same question you are asking now.
The website I linked Dzel yesterday, showed you exactly where the 4,000 new houses are being built. It tells us exactly which community facilities, sports centres etc were constructed.
Its public knowledge dude, you can find the audits online. Not basing my 'comments on the word of one lady'. Which is what the ANC fanboys are doing in this case. Deriving their sources from hearsay and propaganda.
Im not 'upset' about the DA in this case. Im upset about these hooligans wanting to make the province ungovernable. Blocking highways off. You might enjoy these tendencies in whichever province you find yourself in. But not me.

ANCYL leader Mfuso Zenzile is reported to have declared "let them go to the police...we give Zille's office seven days to repospond and if there's failure to do so within seven days, we will make the city ungovernable"...Now, depending on the circumstances, a brazen threat to render a lawful government ungovernable using violent protests could constitute sedition or even possibly treason, should ungovernablility be found to be tantamount to an attempt to overthrow a lawfully constituted Government..
If members of the ANC are using language like "to make the city or Province ungovernable" coupled with violent protests, there is indeed a prima facia case that their conduct constitutes sedition or criminal activity akin or tantamount to it.

As for the closed down schools and trucks example. Lets imagine that the truck is in bad condition. The truck is used to transport children from point A to point B. But because the truck is in such a bad shape, it puts the lives of the kids in danger. Therefore, the truck was made obsolete, and the existing pupils will be getting their rides from the other, in better shape trucks.

We have on several ocasions acknowledged the fukc ups of the ANC evryday and we are not happy with corruption. On the other side we also say your DA is not as clean as you make people believe, they also have faults like the ANC but the difference the ANC is the ruling party. You have failed all the time when we ask you for proof, you just post links with reports either from 2010/2011 or with %s but what I want is something that says, in Gugs 2 schools built, in Khyltsh 10k houses or show us where you spent the 76% in the b lack townships that are complaining. You complain about people moving to CPT but you come from JHB hypocrite.

@Sinudeity_I'll never side with DA. They are just an opposition party to ANC, hence their negative take at everything ANC proposes. They are carrying their mandate very well - to oppose.

Nwanawamukalaha - WCape matric pass rate: 82.9%Demographics of WCape (2007 survey):
5,278,585 people:
Coloured folks: 2,639,292
Black folks: 1,583,575
White folks: 1,055,717
"The stats is dominated by pupils from white-dominated schools.........split the results demographically for me."
White people are not the majority in Cape Town dude. And I wish I could split the results, but unfortunately the government doesnt release that information. So, if the PROVINCIAL AVERAGE is 83%, 50% of the population is coloured folks, and 30% of the population is black folks...
Then guess what, your statement is false.

Plus I bring work experience, and my skills. I am not competing with the millions of other people with no skills for a job. I am a refugee from Joburg. Not ashamed to admit this.

Why can`t you give what I have been asking you for like you have done above. I want to know, how many schools, hospitals, houses & where have been built in the b lack townships in the last 2 years. The N2 gate way is out it was started by the ANC.
Let me lead the way by saying, there is 1 hospital in Khayelitsha/Makhaza.
The schools that are being closed, they claim its bad performance, so in order to hide that performance take pupils km away from their surroundings & pay more on transport instead of giving the school the resources which will be cheaper. What will happen to the closed schools?

...Guys, we've only got ourselves to blame for the State of Public education. Why don't we complain when half way through a schooling year pupils in Mpumalanga don't have text books and nobody to this day has been dismissed for this indiscretion Why don't we go to the schools on the first day of the school year and ensure the classes are up and running??
In the North West pupils are being prevented from attending school because of a road; and we accept this!!!! The pupils and the public are being used as pawns in the Mangaung power struggle and the public accepts this!!!
I can tell you in the case of Xhosaland funding is provided for schooling but in most onstances in misappropriated....approximately 80c/rand of monies allocated for service delivery doesn't reach the ground. We in the ANC cannot accept this any longer....no need to blame anyone except ourselves.
Mothlante doesn't have the character to lead this country...he has held one of three most senior positions in the movement since 2002, overseeing the demise of the Party. A lot of us here in KZN will make a big Shisamyama under that Presidents seat if he succeeds in Mangaung....he won't want to sit on it for too long that's for sure!!!! His hour of glory will maybe come when he stands on the steps of the Union Buildings with his dear Gugu, the first lady...the one who was Phosa's PA in 2002 at Luthuli House and then became a multi billion rand business lady....that will be his hour of glory then things will go very steadily downhill.
In Isizulu there is a saying that "you can't sleep when there is a snake in the house"...and he has been the snake in the ANC NEC, first undermining TM and now JZ. What goes around comes around!!!!!

In the last 2 years, 11,000 new RDP houses have been built. For references:

Because you should be doing this yourself dude. You have access to the internet and google right?

Sure, the students may pay more for transport costs, being integrated into successful schools. But in the long run, they gain FAR MORE by having access to decent education.
As for the closed down schools, I dont know.

So very true and not only with regard to public education, but all aspects of social conscience.
Only once black Africans actually realise that true success in life is achieved via personal effort and determination, will the rest of the world see you as equals. To continue playing the victim only impoverishes you further.
It is time to look within, become proud of your blackness, get up...and continue to stand up...on your own merit. For surely it isn't the colour of our skin that makes a person but the attitude of our minds and hearts? Break the shackles of insecurity that your blackness has brought you in the past, stop trying to gain sympathy from the guilt of others, like a common beggar in the street. Why continue to regress, that is the lazy option and are you all not better than that?
Because honestly, time is running out as there is only so much longer that you can keep on blaming the past. Create to survive, destruction and apathy only destroys! So come on, prove the rest of us wrong and emancipate yourselves from mental slavery!

The DA was elected as opposition to the anc and are there to keep the anc honest, excuse the pun,. So far the anc hasnt kept any of their promises, crime is rampant, as is unemployment, education and health are dying slowly and you want the opposition to keep quiet? The anc is also try to change the constitution with the "Secrecy Bill". Again do you expect the opposition to keep quiet. In the smaller scheme of thing the DA is ruling the WC and the anc is opposing EVERYTHING the DA proposes.

Very true... but i will also argue the role of teachers & principals... the so called "white or multi racial schools" parents are forced by schools to participate in their childrens education by makin sure homework is checkedn & signed every day other wise they also would'nt care except when is it time to get the result.
Most of our black teachers & principals dont care abt our children anymore as long as they get their salary, that y i will never take my child to those schools

As pointed out by Sinudeity_ only 30% of WC is white.The DA went from just under 50% to way over 60% for the City of Cape Town. As well as won the province.
The ANC propaganda machine can spew out as much garbage and organise service delivery protests but in the end the PEOPLE have spoken and will speak again come election time.
ANC can cry foul as much as they want to. The proof will be in the 2014 elections. If the DA increases its share once again provincially in the Western Cape they will be vindicated.
The biggest problem is people in other provinces not seeing first hand the good job the DA is doing and only hear the propaganda.
Areas closer to the Western Cape are already starting to swing. For example Nelson Mandela Bay municipality was a very narrow win for the ANC. The more the ANC lose the more vocal and aggressive they will become. Which is sad. This is a democracy. Take your losses with grace and focus on delivering to keep your market share. Not violence, intimidation and fear!

@ My5cent"T.I.A" - sadly that will never happen my friend. There is too much at stake for those thieving barbarians in the anc to willingly succumb to defeat in a democratic manner. As the noose tightens and their clutch on power weakens, the more they will resort to desperate and intimidating tactics.They are by far the largest threat to the economic, political and social advancement of this country and most are willingly blind to this reality.
The writing is boldly displayed on the wall and in any normal society such facts should be welcomed, however the consequences here in SA send shivers down my spine!
