To those who are still blind and continue to swallow the hollow promises of the government, let’s review and question these promises.
Have we not heard them all before?
Delivering efficient services to all “our people”. So how come there are regular and ever more violent protests about the lack of services?
Jobs, jobs, jobs. The President promised over the next five years the government will create millions of jobs. So where are they? Statistics SA has just reported that unemployment has increased, again.
Under stifling government red tape the economy is being strangled. Foreign investors are wary of the constantly changing rules and regulations.
All this is leading to failing businesses and investment downgrades to final junk status.
Blatant corruption and crime are out of control. Can these get worse? Yes.
How come the government leadership, their families and pals are doing so well while we all struggle?
The “It’s my turn now” syndrome has kicked in, resulting in many political killings.
Reason – the faction that “wins” has a direct pipeline into the now depleted finances – you’ve had five years to get rich, now it’s my turn.
Nothing will improve under the current government rule. The past 25 odd years have yielded crumbling infrastructure, regular power outages and serious water problems in many parts of the country.
Do we want a replication of the Zimbabwe disaster?
