  1. …. Soooo, I pay PAYE at 40% of my income to SARS, I pay my RATES and TAXES which include 15% VAT…. I pay 15%VAT on food, petrol, medical aid, Netflix, Gym, security etc…..

    To be proud of my community and surrounds, you want me to use my time and donate more money of my net income I work fuckin hard for each month and get involved….
    blablabla….

    Question: Will my EXTRA 'monatary donations' for doing the MUNICIPALITY's responsibilities be reimbursed, including the 15%VAT?

    In Afrikaans we say…. Dit is nou fokkin genoeg!!!

  3. It’s all good and well to do this and thank you but, if the ministers of parliament cannot be held accountable for their corruption, how well is it going to go to hold accountability for lower corruption. Would it be another long drawn out procedure and at the expense of the citizens

  4. The existing broken state is much more incidious than South Africans realize.To repair and replace is to empower the nation,the opposite to what totalitarians want.They want to oppress and control and the first way to do so is through an unimpowered state

  5. Blah, blah, blah, we live in Portsmouth, we could sit on the beach two days running without someone threatening to rape my wife or shoot me in the head. Nobody also wanted money off me to use the beach. Nobody tried to steal my bicycle from under me at 06:00 this morning, and we not live behind barbed wire; we are also not afraid to take a bus or a train, at any time of night or day…and yes, your friend might have had to wait for a long time for an operation for his wife, but as he seems to have only lived here a short time the NHS would have treated him differently. You mentioned Brexit as only a bad thing, maybe you should stop watching mainstream media so much, and do some proper research, and to comment on something like Brexit while you are living outside the UK is a bit ingenious, don’t you think? Anyway, we do wish you Godspeed and all forms of success in your endeavours, Mzansi certainly needs it.

  6. What nonsense is he speaking about tackling corruption. When him and his team at OUTASA is not going after the real culprits featuring on website of an unelected international organization with CEOs and people in prime decision-making positions which include the president's brother in law and mayors appointed by political party DA. A mayor not elected by the people. How about systemchange of the current electoral system to one where we elect our leaders individually.

  9. Here's the problem: African governments are inherently corrupt and exploitative – it is a reflection of the prevailing culture. Plus the ANC ruined the education system for a reason (i.e. keeping the ordinary Black person not independently minded) and implemented a free money system, called Social Grants, to keep them dependent on the state for handouts. The international community goes ballistic when other races treat Blacks like this but it is expected of Black governments i.e. no international pressure to change. Finally, African peers support the oppression of the masses because they either desire to or are doing it themselves.

  10. Wayne makes a lot of sense to the issues and how to tackle them. Of all the suggestions from various people I've heard over the years, I believe this to be the best common sense approach to fixing SA.
