Vote out the ANC rot or suffer

Finally, a ballpark figure of R500bn has been placed in the public domain by Pravin Gordhan pertaining to the cost to South Africa Inc due to the summary dismissal of former finance minister Nhlanhla Nene and his shortterm replacement by unknown back bencher and Jacob Zuma/ANC sycophant Des van Rooyen.

This figure relates to the depreciation in value of the SA Inc. Not a day goes by in which big numbers are not bandied about in the tens and hundreds of millions of public funds that have been looted, misappropriated, stolen or just gone missing – all into the pockets of ANC cadres. These telephone number figures are not part of the R500bn Gordhan is speaking of.

These monies disappeared owing to the complete criminality of the ANC regime in power at the time, from the then top dog Zuma to the lowest echelons of the ANC criminal syndicate running SA as its little fiefdom. From the very top of the current ANC/government leadership to the bottom, they were all perfectly aware of just what the then commander-in-chief was doing with our money, and those below him picked up the crumbs… well, they weren’t crumbs, they were billions of our money and resources. The next election is going to be South Africa’s real Rubicon: we vote out the rot or we passively sit by and give the most corrupt government on the planet the democratic right to continue to rape and rob us.

The great thing about a true democracy is that with great regularity, we the people can kick out elected people and governments which have deceived, lied, been incompetent and mismanaged our country.

If the people continue to vote in the likes of the ANC, they must accept the complete lack of any possible progress in South Africa.

Service delivery, improvement in education and healthcare, infrastructure and policing will all be burnt on the funeral pyre of ANC power above all else.
