The long walk to poverty and oppression

THE Tripartite Alliance is misleading our people. The ANC and its youth league, Cosatu and the so-called SACP organise service delivery protests or blame ANC councillors for not delivering services

THE Tripartite Alliance is misleading our people. The ANC and its youth league, Cosatu and the so-called SACP organise service delivery protests or blame ANC councillors for not delivering services

Then they replace them with other ANC councillors. This is hypocrisy. All these councillors take orders from provincial and national leaders.

Why don't they protest against the lies Jacob Zuma told before the elections? Because they won't bite the hand that feeds them. Government leaders are the source of the problem. How can you replace one sort (Thabo Mbeki) with the same (Zuma) and claim that you want to protect the grass?

The poor black masses won' t benefit from the World Cup. The only beneficiaries will be Tokyo Sexwale, Irvin Khoza, their ANC cronies and white puppet masters.

Our people must start asking questions. It appears that our people are only interested in how much noise members of the alliance make, rather than what action they intend to take. It is depressing to see our black brothers and sisters queuing to get on the train marked "long walk to oppression and poverty" while ignoring Azapo's train to real freedom.

We will not be free of poverty until the government makes education a priority. We need structural measures to deliver housing, such as a construction company owned by the state.

The ruling party claims we have a free and democratic country, but when we protest we are jailed or shot. Azapo's black consciousness ideology is superior to the ANC's because it frees rather than oppresses the black masses.
