RSA would sail through this crisis unscathed if the 30% cANCer govt only did 30% of their job and promises since 26 years ago, but they spent 100% effort to only make laws to exclude 10% population and loot their own people. All who voted ANC is responsible.

Betha Undertaker 👏

Bheki is worried about cigarettes instead of the high crime rate and going after real criminals he is a useless minister in my eyes, and seems to me like Cyril is scared of him, these guys knows too much about each other as long as anc rule, this country will never be fixed
