REPLIES TO COMMENTS

“PUBLIC must save, but water flows from leak” (December 5): Westering water wastage has been a long-standing thing and all around Fourie Street. Is it a seemingly focal point of all the blasting that has happened in the past down in the quarry?

CAS Pillay (“Replies to comments”, December 6), you are missing the point when you suggest the bucket system is an ANC problem. Read history.

READER SANDY, sorry you feel misunderstood (“Replies to comments”, December 6). You asked if only Africans stayed in power past normal retirement age. Hence four leaders way past “normal” retirement age, who are not Africans, were named.

You are right, no one likes a dictator (absolute ruler, according to the Oxford

Dictionary). A leader who is a law unto himself and makes up the rules as he goes along because he isn’t quite sure how the system actually works! Is pretentious, tells lies, gropes women and brags about it, discriminates against colour and creed. Favours family for jobs and denies climate change!

It is good to know that you don’t like “bad” people whether they are black white or pink. But what about orange? PS You may not learn anything by watching Bill Maher’s Generation Ass, but you may enjoy a good laugh.
