Ngapha Mhlonishwa nzimandebafana 🤣😂 Zilungisele ndoda!

Amaphoyisa aselinde ngezibhamu. Kuzofa abantu

Abramjee Violence over themselves

Unathi_Kwaza They get what they voted for and turn violent?

Unathi_Kwaza Go to Nkandla!!! and protest there. Zuma must answer

Unathi_Kwaza They need to use their votes wisely VoetsekANC

Do you think this is going to help? Don't waste your energy!!! You are just fitting against thunder

Abramjee People voice their concerns and it falls on deaf ears. The only time politicians take action is when violence is inflicted upon them. And the only time a politician will take immediate action is when protestors are outside his house.

Abramjee Your vote counts more than any violence you create.

We need to shut down the country. Enough is Enough!

Communities using violence to other communities, protesters they are destroying the little that blacks have achieved , if you burn tyres on the roads,rea vaya stations, destroying robots and throwing stones to vehicles that coming from work then you are a most enemy than eskom

Just vote for a new ruling party. One that will hopefully deliver. I mean what more can we loose! It’s been 27years now that the MYANC have been in powers.Time for change, time for delivery.

YES YES YES.... WE THE RATEPAYERS ARE FEDUP WITH THIS ESKOM NONSENSE....!!!

Only if they may direct that violence to MYANC in Luthuli House and Anc run municipalities their problems would be solved probably, but if they will be doing such in their own communities in townships with shut downs and preventing kids from attending school, thats waste of time

Abramjee Who will they be violent towards? I don’t even know where to start being violent towards when some computer cuts power or a substation breaks as a result of the lack of maintenance. Will they be violent at parliament? Go to Nkandla? At Luthuli House? Where? How?

The average majority voter in SA: 'Grrrrr.....I'm so mad about *insert a variety of basic service delivery issues* I'm going TO BURN DOWN a clinic and school that provides my kids with medicine/education and busses that I need tomorrow!' *on election ballot, ticks ANC again*

CityPowerJhb south hills lifestyle estate - it has been almost 30 hours now - without electricity- someone doesn’t care about that community- I don’t know if it is MyInnerCityHome or Citypower. Coz this is a regular occurrence, outages always last 1 to 3 days in the area.

nami I’m communities sikhathele habe!!
