include DA in there as well, DA! DA!

Try to look on the bright side though, What goes down must come up eh!. When the money goes so will the "people" who came in the first place to "exploit the resource", then they will then be replaced by another set of "greedy" peoples in search of the "profit" motive; foreign or local and the whole cycle of rich and poor starts all over again.

Don't fret much. Life is a cycle. People in 1994 said that it was the end of South Africa, packed their bag and left but you still had people making money after 1994 didn't you?

Some came on ships, some walked. Most came because the Dutch made it first world. LOL.

2. Gold.....Gold and Diamonds made it first world not the Dutch. Correlation does not imply causation.

3. The Dutch did not build South Africa, cheap labour did.

You go so far off topic it serious whatabouism. Terrorism, or a mass shooting in Africa doesn't even register in these parts. If witch doctors kill Albinos in Africa, nobody cares in the US, UK or NZ. 99% of people globally have no idea that a S. African man thinks raping a virgin, to cure AIDS, happens. You can't fix that. There is no system to educate that many idiots. The whites should leave S. Africa if they can.

They should leave as soon as possible.......run....run....white flight.....Leave the heathens to their faith.

The dark continent is doomed to forever darkness....

The white man brings light because the color of his skin is White.. The black man breaths darkness because the color of his skin is dark.

Run..... White man......run. Save your Progeny.....your children from being eaten alive by the black heathens.....Your daughters from being raped by the big black dick....... Run... run... save your advanced civilization....run....run...run....run....Keep running

Julius chooses Socialism as an economic system because he wants to be everything that is opposite to his perceived enemy since all his enemy's systems have failed the masses.

Almost all the movements in opposition to the Apartheid state were economic systems that were in opposition to that of their Oppressors. Its a no brainer, When he states that "capitalism has never worked for his people", he is not really lieing is he?

The DA cannot seem to articulate or reconcile its position of the benefits of a capitalist state faced with the issue of black empowerment and historical injustices and so will continue to remain or be viewed as the custodian of "White monopoly capital".

Well South Africa has never been entirely capitalist...even under apartheid(As you in fact mentioned) it's always been a mixed Economy......So Malemas claim that "capitalism has never worked for his people" doesn't hold much water since a pure Capitalist economy has never been implemented in SA........What has in fact failed his people has been the ANC.......Not its policies but rather the pure ineptness of how they have Governed over the last 15 odd Years.

Personally I believe a mixed Economy WITH limited Socialist policies is the way to go.......However for this to work you need a Component, non Corrupt Government which strives to uplift the People and not fill up their own Pockets.

Also the DA is far from a Capitalist party and its policies in fact mirror that of the ANC........What the DA is actually promoting is an ANC, without the corruption.

Lastly "White Monopoly Capital" is a made up term...........

They want you to remain working class. This is the genius of a capitalist system that creates a "special class" of people and endows them with all the resources in a given space while using as much cheap labor as they can to turn a profit.

Kaffir is a term used to signify a "heathen" of non Islamic faith. It was borrowed by illiterate Kitchen dutch speakers in the cape coast to designate Africans that were non Christian peoples, especially when these kitchen Dutch speakers sort approval from their religious authorities to fornicate with Khoi/African slaves, when in actuality these same Kitchen dutch speakers in the eyes of the originators of the word were also "kaffirs".

I am not a fan of the ANC, never have been so yes the government has failed in many aspects but has been successful in others as well. What some of your cohorts here seem to allude to here is the correlation between failure and a black run organization versus the alternative of a pretty much "white liberal" run organization with black faces at the helm of public relations and the question of who is more competent.


As long as that rhetoric and attitude remains i.e. internal power struggles; the Mazibuko issue, the administration of the Western Cape in relation to the Land restoration, land settlement, poverty reduction, gentrification, e.t.c that party will find it difficult to garner enough votes from the majority of the population. They had a chance once upon a time but they lost the momentum precisely on the point of a redress on past legacies, hell I even was rooting for them once but they lost me after some events that exposed the parties inner workings.

Why is kemptonpost in place of my moniker??edit: see it has been fixed cool

Most of my so called cohorts are Nigerian...... Not even South African, and not once did I or any other South African(that I know of) on this forum mentioned that SA failed due to black rule.

I always vote DA during municipal elections.... But as you said recent events have caused me to vote for a different alternative during this years election.

However compared to the ANC the DA have actually been more successful at redressing the past than the ANC they have turned Cape Town from the most unequal to the least unequal city in SA, the unemployment rate is by far the lowest in the Western Cape than the rest of SA, believe it or not they have also been much much more successful at effective land redistribution than the ANC and unlike the redistribution model the ANC uses in which the Government owns the land which have been redistributed the DA actually gives the title deed to the land recipient.

IMHO the middle ground with regards to the economy has already been reached..... And there should be a focus on attracting foreign investment to help reignite growth of our economy..... More populist policies will only aggravate our current economic struggle.

WMC does not exist..... Its a term made up by the now none existant Bell Potingger pr firm....as an excuse for the ANCs ineptness to create jobs, provide better service delivery and uplift the poor.

The reason the DA lost votes is pretty simple.......they reinvented itself from a true liberal Alternative, to an ANC lite, They did this to win disillusioned ANC voters during the Zuma years, this strategy could of actually worked if it was Zuma(not Jacob but his ex wife) that won at the ANCs National conference , what they unfortunately did not bank on was an ANC that could turn itself around, an ANC that would elect a President that the DA has publicly endorsed. So not only did they lose those ANC votes they hoped to gain but also lost a substantial number of their traditional supporter base who were not looking to vote for another ANC but a true liberal party with it's own unique policies and ideas.

Through in a few scandals, corruption cases and in fighting and it's no surprise they lost votes......and I am one of those Votes that they lost.

The reason the DA lost votes is pretty simple.......they reinvented itself from a true liberal Alternative, to an ANC lite, They did this to win disillusioned ANC voters during the Zuma years, this strategy could of actually worked if it was Zuma(not Jacob but his ex wife) that won at the ANCs National conference , what they unfortunately did not bank on was an ANC that could turn itself around, an ANC that would elect a President that the DA has publicly endorsed.

It was quite clear even for an outsider like me to predict that Ramaphosa had a far better shot at winning at the ANC's National conference than Dlamini-Zuma so the DA strategically should have anticipated and planned for that.

I agree. The parties internal struggles followed by an identity crisis did put off many voters and did loose, I would assume stunch neo-liberals like yourself but then again that would be expected in a party that had its inception in "white liberalism" without taking into account or mis diagnosing the palpitations of the countries issues.

I read "I write what I like" by Steve Biko a few years back and he articulates this "white liberal" paradigm that is evident and still present in the politics of the DA.

So not only did they lose those ANC votes they hoped to gain but also lost a substantial number of their traditional supporter base who were not looking to vote for another ANC but a true liberal party with it's own unique policies and ideas.

Through in a few scandals, corruption cases and in fighting and it's no surprise they lost votes......and I am one of those Votes that they lost.
