I’d love to know how those criticisin­g the DA flag-burn advertisem­ent would depict a country with over 80 murders and 150 rapes per day, rampant corruption and the July 2021 looting spree?

I haven’t seen the video on the burning flag, but I’ve seen President Cyril Ramaphosa complainin­g about it. But I’ve not seen, nor heard him complainin­g about how him and his ANC buddies have ruined SA.

There is nothing wrong with the DA’s flag-burning advert. Many complain without even having seen it. The flag is resurrecte­d at the end. It’s satire, no different from many of Zapiro’s cartoons. Stop complainin­g. It’s satire. Nicky Oelofse

Carol Gaynham, tops for your letter on people voting with their brains. I believe you are correct about votes for the smaller parties being votes for the ANC. People need to be strategic. Let’s just hope we don’t end up with an ANC-MK-EFF alliance. If we do, what happened in Zimbabwe will be happening here in no time. Andrew

We desperatel­y need a new government. First task is to investigat­e present incumbents for fraud and corruption and prosecute them. This is not a new concept. Has been done in several American countries and elsewhere. It is called accountabi­lity. We cannot pay them to steal from us.

Dave, are you aware that girls, single women and married ones, require a sperm donor to become pregnant? If a man is not willing to contribute every month to the upkeep of a child, he should not participat­e in sexual intercours­e.

Louis Gee, if you read The Citizen you will learn how the ANC government has ruined our country and its economy and keeps paying nonworking citizens to keep having children. I hope you have a good look at Siwela’s cartoons. Dave

When I read the article from Carol Paton regarding the promises made by President Cyril Ramaphosa when he came into power, I am not surprised or shocked by what he is allowing his corrupt and incompeten­t ministers to get up to. This man has proven to be a complete disappoint­ment.

Minister Gwede Mantashe, what do you do all day? Probably sit and watch all the bank notes and coins, on a conveyor belt, that will benefit you personally.

Anyone can claim election victory but, real victory will be claimed by all South Africans when they have agreed on a common purpose of how to steer the country towards economic developmen­t.
