The SACP talks communism but lives capitalism!

Soon City of Tswane will fall into the same disrepair as Jozi thanks to Herman Mashaba.

[@christinefinniss6263]

The fall of Jozi is caused by the likes of Lesufi and his ilk. Mega incompetence.

Shocking and reminds me of Sophiatown in the 50s. ANC rule 85% of the time, according to the X post.

They've recently celebrated the first 100 days in office - whoop di do!!! Wbat do they - any party - have to show for this time? Sure they've had great fun playing musical chairs and jostling for positions but has any politician actually spent a full day in office and earned their salary that we the people pay them??

[@blairgowrieforestrailwayan2786]

Johannesburg was at it's peek in the 1970s, 1960s and earlier. I recon the rot started in the 1980s when Santon was created.

[@Phoebe-sk1qe]

MK wants to go back to Shaka Zulu days in how things are run .. seriously!? Time to get with the times?

The majority dont care about the roads, the sidewalks, the sign boards, the general broken windows. They the majority have not had and many still dont have these to have concern for. They want a job, a roof over their head, food on the table and dont forget the prolific procreation. What they dont realise is to make the money money has to be spent on inftastructure not handouts and it is required to be maintained to keep all systems of business that keep the economy going and the money being shared, going. Its all about a balance in growing and expanding on what is there and bringing those who are below up to a reasonable standard of education and living provided by government that gets its money, to ensure this environment is created, from the people who pay their taxes and can enjoy the middle and high standard of SA through their drive to be educated, work hard and set up business to provide a space for others to grow and reach that middle class so they can fly and not live on handouts which cripple people. We need a sound government that is not corrupt and greates this balance through better policy, sound appointments and good management.
