  1. Thanks for the programmes. they are very interesting. my question is, Does the decline of the ANC bode well for minorties and especially white people, or are white people going to come under more and more attack going?

  2. To be quite honest, KZN did actually quite well when it was governed by the IFP after 1994. Spending was not over-elaborate, beaches where clean, Ushaka Resort was build and a lot was done and invested into making and promoting especially Durban as a world class tourist destination. Even smaller towns, like the one I come from, where not to shabby!!! But now it's a mess! The ANC took over, Zuma came in and everything was turned upside down. Even it's salty sea water has become a health hazard! Zuma was the worst thing that ever happened to South Africa and KZN in particular to date. Everywhere the ANC is still in charge, infrastructure is crumbling severely. Elaborate spending by the ANC on "itself" (like that elaborate yet pointless town hall "upgrade" in my old town, while the streets in the town are falling apart) and not the people… Time to get the ANC out. People need to look past their brand loyalty… If the brand is no good anymore, find another one that is! (And it's definitely not the EFF – those guys are even more radical and corrupt then the ANC could ever dream to be)! Just note: If you want a civil war in this country, let the EFF take charge! They will just dump us straight into chaos! No-one will be allowed to own anything, except a few fat cats in the EFF that will own everything. If people in KZN are hesitant to vote for so called "white parties" (which is just wrong to even say that!), then vote for the IFP… It's a much saver bet than the ANC or EFF, that is for sure! The IFP did quite well in the past in KZN (much better than the ANC ever has)!

  3. Most middle class Zulus you speak to today seem to be moving toward ActionSA, at least every one in my personal circle. I just wish that my people would stop voting along tribal lines and vote for the party who will deliver the best service delivery and minimize corruption. The ANC losing support is a good thing

  4. IFP was originally formed to make KZN independent and govern there ONLY . The original emblem of the party had all the Zulu kings in a ring. I would like to point that , the king at the time (Zwelithini) kinda killed the IFPs dream by siding with the ANC because they gave him a salary and a nice chair. A lot of schools, clinics and roads in my small rural place were build during the time the IFP was in power. A lot of people died during the transition from IFP to ANC.

  5. South Africa is a racially divisive and violent country. Most of the problems we are experiencing is due to our differences in cultures, race, communities and people that are trapped in ancient ideologies of their forefathers. The DA would have been a much more popular political party if it were not for all the high-profile departures of persons of "colour" who left the party because of Mrs Helen Zille. Politics is a filthy game that is played by people that have no interest in serving the communities that elected them. I have as little faith in the DA as i have in the ANC, they are a parliament of bullies and gangsters. Maybe it's time to give a real ex gangster a greater role in government like Mr Gayton McKenzie who is the current mayor of the Central Karoo District. I am saying this based on what this man has been doing as mayor of the Karoo. Love him or hate him, he fulfilled the promises that he made to the community. I am supporting and want to be a part of someone or something that will work towards moving our country forward and i do not care if you are Black, White, Coloured, Indian or Chinese etc. The Zilles, Zumas, Ramaphosa's have had more than enough time to solve the issues that are troubling us as a nation. We need a different school of thought and a fresh approach to get us working together to build this beautiful but broken country.

  6. Just relocated to George from Kzn and the place is busy colapsing after the floods as nothing has been done to repair the infrastructure. Looting happened and I see the positive side of it as the community and private security swctor showed they can fend for themselves as the police was nowhere to be found, as usual. I dont see a future in the place and people that are middle class and upper class rather go stay in a complex or golf estate for your own safety just in case. Beautiful place but the damage was done and the majority's mindset in general isnt going to change overnight so the place will be stuck in a ruined state for a long time.

  7. SA a ticking time bomb, high unemployment, corruption, high crime, collapse of infrastructure, incompetent leaders…imagine EFF coming into power, I don't want to even think about it!

  8. Hi. The ANC'S coruptoon tenders & their comunist union & Comunist alliance party will steal & destroy South Africa…EFF are the same. No private funding from S.A. citizens as well as the East & West should trust or invesst in any government entity as long as they are in power. We will burn & will not rwcover but, have to build from scratch which will take a minimum of double the 3 decades of which the ANC & their counterparts havve ruined beyond recognition.
