In some countries political campaigns give out bumper stickers and yard signs. In others, they offer free lunches and supermarket debit cards. In Honduras, it's coffins for the destitute.
One charity, Helping Hand Up, won its congressional funding thanks to the head of the Honduran Congress, Juan Orlando Hernandez, who is running for president. Like the others, Helping Hand Up insists it is not trading coffins for votes.

Yeah those are Politicians Nxaaa it is obvious they are buying votes what else and taking advantage of the poor bereaved families it is still a practice here in SA where politicians rather leave their comfort zones the likes of Nkandla to sleep in shacks distributing groceries to get some votes once you have voted the into power they disappear into thin air this is more like wiitchcraft

@skwamasamabele, Read to understand.
I am saying at least in South Africa the rate/level of poverty is not that bad where politicians canvass votes by targetting beareved families.
During electioneering in South Africa, it's all about KFC, T-shirts, umbrellas, etc......
so why is this a problem? is this not what the poor voted for? ie for comrades and their families to be rich beyond imagination, even now Zuma expects tax payers to upgrade his house for 203mil so he can sit in his castle and watch the downtrodden as they scratch for left over scraps from the dustbins, but they voted for this shem.

that's an interesting view from a typical anc suputa, its okay to be poor as long as there are others in the world poorer than you, hence I say these ppl voting these idiots in gov deserve fully what's coming to them. Report Abuse
