Desperate measures by desperate comrades. Tired of these delinquents.
Why has there never been a criminal investigation into the Life Essidumini saga where 144 mentally ill patients died of Gauteng Provincial Health service incompetence and guaranteed corruption?

Fun fact
It’s actually all South Africans that built this country
Black South Africans of all ethnic groups constructed the bulk of it, not to ignore minorities at all.
This country built by one group of people is impossible
The population maths, geographic scale from Cape Town to Musina, Port Nolloth to Durban, Gqeberha (PE) to Mahikheng doesn’t justify the claim that one group of people built the whole thing by themselves. It’s impossible.
South Africa was built by all of it’s citizens regardless of demographics
Socialism os always driven by fraudsters. Fraud is the foundation of socialism. They want to take over kings houses and become kings but call themselves liberators of the people.
Mike, our business was exproprated R62k of stock last week. Not by the government but by a crook using expropriation without compensation as his reasons for why. Maybe I should send the invoice to Uncle Cyril to pay….
Great work Mikeb
We have lost trust in the courts. Courts are captured by the ANC. We have seen how anc criminals are untouchable.
They got a country they did not conquer in any way, on a silver platter in the 1990’s – free + gratis. It took them 30 yrs to demolish it.
To these subversive predators, nothing is enough. Now they want millions of peasants keeping feudal land lords or vassals with vast fiefdoms in luxury.
These peasants, have no experience or resources to work small plots of land in a country with 91% arid (dry, with unpredicted rainfall) land.
We’re talking abt 1.22 mill Sq kms + vassals who cannot get a pothole fixed.
