Only the ANC could describe the transforma­tion of our civil service as having “undoubtedl­y already been achieved”. Reached, maybe, but there’s not much evidence of achievemen­t.

It was neither a misinterpr­etation nor an untruth; the President lied.

The priority for civil society is to get rid of the corrupt ANC. One is not required to love politician­s when voting for a political party. Just cast your vote for a party that can demonstrat­e that it spends taxpayers’ money prudently.

Yet more proof of what we already knew: the political left is inherently dishonest because it believes in principles such as “the end justifies the means”. It is, and always has been, all about who gets to control the privileges on offer. Their interest in democracy is simply as a sometimes useful veil to cover up what they’re actually trying to do: allocate more privileges to themselves at the expense of everyone else.
