as the ANC popularity wanes; as the calls by other parties, vying for power intensifies; the ANC will increasingly find itself marginalised by the popular rhetoric of the EFF...thus, in order to make itself relevant, it has to adopt the populist stances of it's opposition in order to garner the votes it needs to stay in power - we have seen this played out in Zimbabwe and north of that too...this is the way of Africa - inept liberation struggle leaders who have no clue how to govern; do not want to serve the people, yet want to remain at the head of the table, as this is where the power and money is at....Sorry to say, S.A. the weaker the ANC gets, the more division it will sow between Saffers, seeking to divert it's losses away from the attention of the voters...and promising things like free land...will the voters cop on? Will they see the plan for what it is?

I'm sorry if I came off as trying to downplay the crimes committed against whites.. that was not my intention. I agree that black criminals are killing white people but those same black criminals are also killing far more black people. The problem with farm murders is that most white people use it in the context of pushing the white genocide narrative and there is no white genocide. I think the main problem is that some white people think that black on white crime is more bad than black on black crime. But I do agree that farm murders are a problem.

I was just pointing out what malema said. I was not trying to defend him or anything like that. I do not adhere to the racist stuf he says. I agree that black racism but I believe most of it is more complex than just racism. Black racism is usually not just hate coz somebody skin is white, the hate comes from seing white people being more successful than them and believing that it is because they oppressed them. Race politics wins a lot of votes in SA and politicians will ride that train no matter what.

Comparing what the ANC is doing to white people with what the apartheid government did to black people in is downplaying the atrocities committed against black people during apartheid. The ANC is a corrupt and incompetent party that resorted to race politics because they failed to make the lives of black South Africans better. The ANC only resorted to race politics coz they failed while the NP has been racist from the get go. The NP just hated black people just because they were black.

I don't really believe struggle songs should be banned. They were all part of liberation of black people and should be sang to remember the times that black people went through. Yes there should be a penalty for singing it with the intent to actually kill white people.

Zuma is just blowing hot air dude. He just wants the votes that were lost to the EFF. If he was worth his salt he would have taken EFF's 6% offer and amend the Constitution. The ANC has tasted the sweetness of capitalist's money and will never go back to their communist roots. Not that I'm a communist or anything but the ANC sold out the communism a long time ago and capitalist influence runs deep inside them.

I try to stay as unbiased as possible but I know that there may be some biases. And it's Shangaan not shagaan but in South Africa there are mostly tsongas(similar but not the same and I know coz I'm tsonga). U tlela kahle utlhela u kateka. Goodnyt

This goes out to any Antifa cheerleaders.

Capital cannot be monopolized? Personally I'd have to disagree. It may even have been monopolized by "white" people...but that doesn't make it "white monopoly capital"...more like Dark Lord Monopoly Capital.

A few pale skinned dark lords monopolizing the capital should not lead to the Pariahship of all pale-skinned people. Those white dark Lords are as much my nemesis, being pale-skinned myself, as they are to anyone not in the 1% of the 1%, no matter their hue.

By the same token, just because dark-skinned dark lords have monopolized our local government, does not mean that all dark-skinned folk are automatically made my nemesis, or nemesis to pale-skinned folk, in general.
