Time for DA to kick ANC in the guts

-

The initial soundings from the political parties have started, each firing off salvos of what they can offer the electorate.

In the last few weeks, this whole system has been turned on its back by the informatio­n and facts exposed at the Zondo inquiry.

If ever there was a time and platform for the DA to promote their policies, it is now.

They must attack the ANC right in the guts where it will hurt most.

The DA appears to be relatively clean, but they must get on the election trail and hammer the integrity of the ANC.

Jacob Zuma was tainted and succumbed to all the top people with money to help his selected few with the riches of the Guptas, and infiltrate­d the state entities such as SAA, Eskom and Sasol.

The Zondo Commission has now unearthed how the state tender board has been raped and money from state tenders has been sidelined to the Watsons and others.

We are sitting with 17-million unemployed persons in this country who are living on the breadline.

I am sure if they get to read all the articles around their political home, and the people milking the system to the hilt, they will not be satisfied with a food parcel and a T-shirt to make their cross.

The rest of us are looking for a political party to “lead” us out of this mess, that the work we put into the economy is sifted out to a bunch of insiders who are probably looking for their path of exit before the gates at the passport control are closed.

How they sleep at night is their indaba, but the ordinary man in the street will be after them in no uncertain way.

Still the best way to curtail this underhande­d moneylaund­ering is to vote the ANC out of power!
