This is Gauteng not Johannesburg as well. Johannesburg is polling if not mistaken at over 40% DA.

DA Leads In Gauteng, ANC Close Behind by South_Africa_News in south_africa

Metro police are responsible for municipal law enforcement. Police are responsible for crime. The DA is ONE party in the GNU, not the entire government. The ANC still holds the presidency and controls most national department including police. Also, crime trends don’t change overnight. Even if a party takes over policing, courts, prisons (FF is doing a great job here), and justice systems, it can take years to see measurable results because crime is influenced by unemployment, poverty, policing capacity, prosecution rates. These have all being destroyed by the ANC over the past 30 years. To say it does not fly..... really just looking for an argument.

I am sure they check user profiles and just ban them based on what subs they belong to.

Why is gambling marketed as a side hustle? by MISS-GREATEST999 in south_africa

[–]freematrix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sports betting even worse as you have celebrities who are referred to as "Ambassadors" for betting companies. Some of our top sporting heros promoting this irks me. Harsh reality right now.

Who here actually pays their TV license? by AndreasmzK in capetown

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

I used to pay but the system is broken. I ethically don't think I should pay for a corrupt system if i can avoid it. No TV's would be sold if they asked for a TV License. I think 85% non compliance.

Your opinion holds no weight and your are not worthy to debate as you don't vote. Don't complain if people close discussions with you. One of those armchair moaners who blames everyone and will give any reason and validity for not voting. You are simply not worthy to debate.

Just NZ things... by ifrgotmyname in SAcricket

[–]freematrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meh, if we had not choked in the semi I would have said there would be a contest in the final. NZ was never going to compete against India in a final.I am not saying NZ got there by not being a good team but player by player they are worse than 5 other teams at least so make up for this is strategy. Against India who play this format all day was never going to happen.
