DA exposed Life Esidimeni

The DA’s Jack Bloom exposed the shame we came to know as Life Esidimeni. Some families never visited their disabled relatives but today they are the loudest to condemn the billboard, which depicts the truth. – Anonymous

ANC abuse must stop

No wonder 25 years in democracy the black majority is still poor. We allow the ANC to abuse us in every possible way. They cry foul about the DA’s billboard and you jump onto the bandwagon. Was there no Marikana? Was there no Life Esidimeni? Did kids not die in pit latrines? Are you not paying 15% VAT raised by the ANC? All you know is complainin­g yet you fail to hold the ANC government accountabl­e, stay unemployed, hungry, homeless, poor and uneducated. – Bongani, Mogale City

Using victims’ names stupid

How old was Mmusi Maimane during apartheid? If the DA wants to campaign using the names of victims of Esidimeni and Marikana, that’s stupid. During apartheid whites killed many blacks. – Patrick Tsakani Makaringi, Soshanguve

Billboard insulting to blacks

The DA Is a party without morals. How can a political party fight for existence using dead people. That billboard is abominable, insulting to black culture. The black people at that rally are a curse to black people’s culture. – Mr B, Diepkloof
