VBS looting has exposed politician­s for all to see their selfishnes­s, greed

-

The VBS looting has proved beyond any reasonable doubt that politician­s don’t care about people they claim to represent. Their loyalty firmly lies with themselves and their comrades.

Having followed arguments and counter-arguments with regards to what really happened at that bank, it’s clear that ordinary people who bank there are an after-thought.

EFF people are hellbent on defending fellow members and ANC people only care about their comrades.

Even those who are screaming that VBS shouldn’t be closed down are not coming with solutions as to how it should function going forward.

I’m 100% for the continuati­on of the bank but we need to reconfigur­e it in such a way it is not looted in the future.

The conduct of politician­s has left so much to be desired. They behave like people who believe in witchcraft.

They view everyone who’s not close party comrade as having bad intentions towards them.

Ordinary people who bank there have suddenly become faceless and they’re facing a bleak festive season while politician­s are busy arguing among themselves. I’m becoming convinced that politician­s don’t care about solutions to our national problems. They’ve become that problemati­c family member we’re never sure whether to invite when we discuss family matters.
