Bushiri, ppl eat breath the same shit everyday....it can only breed hate. For no reasons ppl just hate each other.

Smaller parties: Why a vote for the DA packs more punchThe true test for any democracy is whether power can change peacefully at the ballot box. The challenge for South Africa is to fast arrive at this point, writes Mmusi Maimane. MmusiMaimane trust your message to bring you the votes you need, to make the changes you want without undermining intelligence of those who vote for small parties. Themba Godi had 1 seat which he used excellently at times better than your number combine MmusiMaimane Provincially,Yes:Voting the corrupt ANC out is essential,and it can be done. Nationally,it is impossible,vote for a party who represents your interests instead;For heaven's sake vote for a party that wont maul Mandela's Constitution on a whim. MmusiMaimane You're the only party that's governing a province besides the ANC ... Rather focus on telling voters what you're achieving there if you're to be an alternative rather than constantly bashing the ANC ... Remember 'Winners focus on winning while losers focus on winners'
