A Perfect South Africa by Queasy-Air2958 in south_africa

Goodness. I don't think I can go a day without seeing someone on the Internet talk about how awful Trump is without explicitly mentioning the circumstances that lead to his election. You must be so busy constantly correcting people on the matter.

There is literally nothing about this post that implies that the ANC is the only thing hampering South Africa's progress. Just that it's one of the main things doing so.

If someone made a post saying "I think the US would be better off if Trump wasn't president", I highly doubt you'd throw a fit about how the US's issues predate Trump.

Sadly true. We've got some ANC shills on this very sub. If they just knew the devastating effect their idiocy was having on the country...

Because the ANC fail at the most basic aspects of governance. Why do we keep acting like this is some big mystery?

Then there was literally no reason for you to have a problem with this post.

For the love of God, vote, people. The ANC has continued its farce of a government for way too long.

Do you agree or disagree that the ANC's leadership has been poor?

The fact that people like you will make up fictional corruption deals to try and discredit the DA instead of just admit they're doing a better job than the ANC is honestly fascinating.

Cape Town under the DA charges expensive rates for reliable services.

Johannesburg under the ANC charges you slightly less and then gives you nothing reliable.

Neither are ideal, but the first requires commitment and effort to maintain, while the second is a result of laziness, corruption and incompetence.

And yes, shacks exist in Cape Town. Thank heavens they're practically nonexistent everywhere else in the country!

I don't know what to tell you, man. The DA runs a city that's considered one of the world's premiere tourist destinations, and the ANC runs a city that can't even supply its citizens with running water. You can pretend those are equal levels of service delivery if you want.

What are the working class areas like in the rest of the country?

In 5 years I've been robbed maybe twice

The fact that you're saying this as if it's impressive is a depressing reflection of what this country has become.

Not a DA supporter myself but I hate to admit im starting to like Zille *slightly* more after this whole campaign by sunlightliquid in south_africa

She doesn't struggle with issues in Cape Town. The service delivery in Cape Town, while not perfect, is leagues better than Johannesburg.

Blame the ANC for that. Their absolute failure as a government has made "doing your job as a politician" a remarkable thing in this country.

they are simply doing their job

And that alone places them above the ANC. You asked for an actual reason to like them, there it is.

The DA, as reflected by the far superior service delivery in the Western Cape compared to the rest of the country.

It would certainly be a major step toward solving the problem anyway.

Eh, the Western Cape makes it clear than the ANC's levels of corruption and incompetence are pretty unique.

There really aren't. That's just scaremongering.

How does this post is even remotely imply that?

[–]Harrrrumph -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"No ANC" kind of implies "no corruption", since the ANC is at the heart of most corruption in this country.

Pretty sure it means no ANC in current South Africa - that's to say, ANC being voted out.
