Protesters are cowards

-

I SPEAK out against the protesters who choose to stage their protests against the ANC government within soft targets like townships, residentia­l areas and private industrial areas.

In my opinion, these protesters do not have the guts to carry out their protests directly against the source of their problems – the South African government.

To this bunch of cowardly protesters I would say: Take your protests directly to parliament, government buildings, etc. That is where you will find your answers.

You will obviously only follow this route if you have the guts. Do not embark on cowardly acts such as disrupting the lives of innocent people who have absolutely no part in your cause.

To these people, be it whites, Indians, blacks or coloureds, as I do not differenti­ate against any race group, make your voice heard.

Do not vote for the same government that is the cause of your protest. Make an intelligen­t choice and vote for a party, any party that you think will make a meaningful difference to your life and the life of all South Africans.

Remember, the last few terms under ANC rule, lots of empty promises were made, poverty and unemployme­nt have risen steadily, corruption and self-enrichment by the ANC government has been on the rise. Our currency had been weakened due to very poor government management. REGGIE CHELLAN
