Wonderful leadership Joseph - great points which all South Africans agree to. There is no plan to reduce unemployment, alleviate poverty, fix Eskom, country debt, insolvent SOE's, the security crisis, fix the medical, infrastructure and education services for all. The countries infrastructure and civil services are stuck in the past and must move forward. No more politicians comparing life to apartheid for votes, its finished, the country must not move forward and provide better services and a brighter economy to its people and rid the country of poverty and inequality.

It's so bad that pensioners have to live on R1890 a month. I'm struggling and prices go up all the time and pensions go up with maybe R100 if that.

Our constitution is perfect. It's the lack of enforcement of law. Put the corrupt and thieves in prison. SIMPLE.

Everyone is getting poorer. The white squatter camps are growing also its across all colour groups. The government is totally out of touch with the majority who are all getting poorer. Help people create business.
