Captured this from my news feed on Facebook. This is the party responsible for a corrupt policing system, uneducated masses and one of the highest rape and murder rates per capita in the world. I don't even know what to say. |

This is probably right wing extremist nonsense to drum up support since we have an election year coming up. Also to make those 'traitors' who vote for the 'blacks' feel guilty.
I covered a group that seem to have very racist views a while back for global voices:

I wouldn't be surprised if a group like this put this out. The goal is use fear, to brainwash.
The real sad part, is in a country of 50m, we only have about 8m tax payers, people are uneducated. Rather than focusing on 'the other people' and drumming up fear! we should be trying to fix this country, looking to government to fix it wont work. We all need to do it.
Also, if you have never experienced apartheid, let me tell you this it was the most demeaning and horrible system. I grew up during the tail end of it. One of very few memories that i STILL have to this day before the age of 10, was cops threatening to throw us into jail, swearing us in a language, then proceeding to escort us off the beach, merely because we were on the wrong side of the beach, and because of the colour of our skin. My sisters were younger than me we all still remember this incident.
Think about that for a second...
This country needs to change. Here we are, almost twenty years down the line from stopping our racist ways, and yet we've arrived at this.
The current government needs to get it's head out of it's ass and stop spending what little tax money we have on their big fat mansions.
I was born in 1993, so I am by no means an expert on Apartheid, nor do I have any experience with it - but after twenty years, surely you'd think things would have changed?
I visited Cape Town before and after the DA. After the DA got hold of it, it feels like an entirely separate country. No potholes from Kimberly to Cape Town. There are street cleaning machines. Free wifi in so many places. Accommodation is cheap now (a 10 bedroom 7 bathroom apartment prefurbished with water + electricty for R3500 a month. in Camps Bay was on sale). In my entire stay there I encountered 0 homeless people. And young people, especially white people, are opening businesses there, and creating jobs - despite Black Economic Empowerment.
And then we have the ANC...
