it's high time that people become consumers and stop being peddlers of the ruling party tripatate, consumers will choose who to vote for , but peddlers will always be told by the unions to vote for union 's choice.

NUM is supporting mining shares for Malema so that he can also donate interest in their Union. He was denied shares and mobilised for nationalisation!!!! Our youth are being fooled, and they do not know what is happening in the outside world, SHAME.
