Protesters bring Butterworth to a standstill

Wow, this is democracy at its best. Vote in the ANC with a majority vote because they are the best party to deliver. And then bliksem them for not delivering. See the nice stories in the blog about the Spaza mayor. Read there how wonderfull the ruling party is and how sad the Western Cape is.

Crying, I couldn’t have said it better. When are we all going to realise that you get the government you vote into power?

I dont think you need an agry anc mob to bring the traffic to a standstill in Butterworth the potholes gets you before you even reach the mob.

Calabash… Thats what I cannot get. All the poor soles get duped into voting anc with false promises high and low. It didnt work before, so why should it work now…? Yetthey still fall for it and keep idiots in power. I overheard someone once at a conference saying the poor patriots would vote for the anc even if it was a picture of a potato ??? Black mentality thing I suppose

I am so glad that I defend apartheid, rather then the ANC. Just when the ANC supporters think they have made a valid point, then another blog with more ANC disappointments are posted!
Must be demoralizing!!!

calabash – As I said before – The pit just gets deeper – the sh1t gets thicker and soon it will be over their heads.

The old saying – give a person enough rope….. comes to mind

The back roads in the Butterworth area have not seen grader work since the previous government, eish she is not my problem but I want the money.

What are they protesting for?
They voted the current government in.
You get what you vote for.
It’s there own doing so why protest your own doing.

It’s not just Butterworth, add to that the Eksdom pricing that Schussler is trying to expose and we can see that the challenges are set to continue.

“The reality of Camdeboo
THE article Camdeboo’s the place to be (DD, October 26) about service delivery refers. As young man from the victorious party the Congress of the People, I’d like to dispute the details in the article which says that Camdeboo is the place to be if you want to live where service delivery is first class.
According to the report, “Camdeboo is 96.4 percent of the way to providing 100 percent of formal housing, water, sanitation, electricity and waste removal to households”. I believe the survey misrepresents the situation, particularly with reference to housing.
While conducting their survey the Empowerdex team should not have spent the night in hotels and/or guest houses going through reports about housing which they did not physically verify and posting reports that result in boasts such as “Camdeboo is the place to be”.
The RDP houses in Camdeboo, are a torture to humankind because many of them, despite the beautiful colours on the outside, are a threat to the lives of the inhabitants. They have been built with inferior material which will not last more than 10 years. Bricks are full of holes and they are not plastered but simply painted over on the outside – just for the sake of political consciousness.
After two days of rain, water is running in the inside of these houses.
Mostly, this kind of brick is used for fencing or building garages.
This is an honest and realistic point of view of being a tutor and parent which I convey to my children wherever possible: When one compares the apartheid government houses built in this area many decades ago to the post-apartheid RDP houses, the old apartheid-built houses still remain strong but the new ones are collapsing and cracked. Some have hardboard for doors and some have already been blown apart by wind. The municipality does not bother to help these inhabitants.
The disgrace is that these inferior housing developments get names from the ruling party, eg: Mandela Park and Chris Hani Village.
The best kind of survey any team or MEC could do is to sleep over in one of these houses, preferably in August when there are strong winds. Then they will experience the reality of this “place to be”.
To any journalist, organisation or company that would like me to verify this, I will willingly accompany them around, starting off by accommodating you at my mother’s RDP “house”. You need not make an appointment, just come pick me up and I will show you about 500 such houses.
Out of this experience I have concluded that the apartheid government was brutal but honest when it came to whatever infrastructural development it installed. But after 1994 I agree with the singer – ours is a Mickey Mouse freedom. – Xolile Speelman, Chris Hani Village, Graaff Reinet”

All the fruits of the uncontrolled current ruling party power cycle without an effective opposition to provide the necessary checks and balances.

There are many rural roads in terrible shape in the Transkei area, the locals ask Gov. to fix them and they say nope, not our problem, national roads dep. must fix, contact national roads dep. and are told local must fix?
AN-Useless

Before elections I was at a local school built with EU money along the wild coast, an official in a brand new bmw 4×4 was there preaching about how the whites are to blame for the bad state of the area and that it is the whites that are the reason little is happening…the local’s starting to stone his 4×4, wish i had caught it on camera hahahaha – ran with his tail between his legs – never seen a fat man move so quickly.
Slowly but surely rural people are learning the truth.
