On the City Of Johannesburg
“While Johannesburg is nominally led by a mayor from another party, the reality is that it is, once again, under the control of the same old ANC-style politics. In effect, it is an ANC government in a slightly different guise.”
“There, the ANC has handed the mayoralty to a proxy party that got less than 1% of the vote in order to continue leading that city down the path of ANC-engineered decay.”
“Life has progressively become harder and harder over the past five years”
“Look at the country’s trajectory on crime. Look at the trajectory of unemployment. Look at the trajectory of infrastructure maintenance and investment. Look at the trajectory of capital and skills flight.
“Look at the trajectory on load-shedding. Look at the trajectory of poverty. The reality for ordinary South Africans – as opposed to the pampered ANC elite who have insulated themselves from the government failures they engineered – is that life has progressively become harder and harder over the past five years.”
