They live in the rot and with failures of the ANC daily. Why on earth do they need a TV show to point out the obvious? If reality isn't enough, then nothing will sway the EC electorate. They're a lost cause and creators of their own demise.

“The downside for financial markets is an ANC/EFF national coalition, while a prolonged, lengthy ANC/EFF coalition nationally is not seen as likely (5%) due to the unsustainability of the impact on government finances, financial markets etc,” said Bishop. “Investor sentiment would be expected to collapse (not the expected case) after the election on the announcement of an ANC/EFF coalition/s (down case), seeing the rand depreciate sharply, bond yields spike up, and financial instability ensue.”

If we get the right people in power, this country will finally have access to its inherent potential and the Rand would literally strengthen overnight. If SA chooses the ANC, EFF, or MK, or a combination thereof, the opposite will happen and the country's future prosperity will go out the window.

If not the ANC then whom? Because no party shows interest in the e.c. even the ANC isn't threatened to campaign as we speak like U see in Gauteng and KZN. Because there's no threat, no visible party that makes enough noise that side

The Eastern Cape is the look into the soul of the ANC and what the ANC will do to entire RSA.

Guess what?? They'll vote for the same government, I guess they love coming to Carte Blanche and cutting edge and saying "kunzima msasazi"

R23 million gone and no one is being held accountable.

Let me make it easy for everyone, the money was transferred back to ANC for their own activities through backdoors.

If we still need our country back, we need to change ourselves and ultimately the way we think, vote and engage with government.

As a party comprised of mainly black people, what I struggle to understand is how the ANC continues to deny THEIR OWN people better. Is there no desire to do right by your people who have struggled so much over the years already?

You've got to give extra thanks to the BEE "contractors" that the municipalities hire to complete these projects. At least half of all the money will be in their personal bank accounts 👍 And let's not forget the kickbacks going to whoever hired them....

This will only change when the ANC is out and those responsible for the corruption and theft are in jail

ANC wards and provinces voted in by the people.

How else must the comrades eat if they don't dish out the tenders for inferior and incomplete projects

Besides overpricing the biggest issue here is maintenance. You cant build infrastructure & not have a maintenance plan in place. Another issue is community members destroying public infrastructure.

This happens everywhere, we have a facilities in Giyani, limpopo that have been incomplete for more than 10 years. At the High school I attended, there was a little contraction on the sports field that happened for a week and left abandoned, then only thing they got is grass that we never played on even.

People complain, but they ultimately approve of the status quo with their vote, or choice not to vote. The scary part is, more than 40% of the electorate want more of the same, i.e., a stagnating economy, diminishing employment opportunities, higher inflation, lower living standards, more crime, etc.

Just like FAFO, we shoudl have something like VAFO - Vote ANC and Find Out.

With these amounts that are being mentioned here just shows how much potential this country has at developing and uplifting its people also with the treasury being so generous at forking out these amounts but by appointing greedy and selfish individuals it becomes a sad state of affairs and so it will continue.

The governing parties/individuals who appoint contractors and are supposed to practice oversite should be held financially responsible in their personal capacities for any amounts over budget. The most competent contractors will then be appointed out of fear of personal fiancial loss even if these politicians dont care about anything else.

There are some who believe the country is being taken care of, ones that look at this and say it was made to make the leaders look bad, I say its time wake up, look around you...
