Redi I followed you for years, since early 702 days. You have always spoken with such authenticity & eloquence, what most of us are thinking with such clarity…and with deep insights. I hope others listen to this, because this is indeed the experience of Joburgers. My question is WHY people don’t collectively do enough. Surely a class action or a legal way to withhold rates & tariffs is the way to counter this constant harassment? Either we vote them out or this abuse will continue.

I agree with you Zoe. I do have one thing to say.... Why do these columnists never, NEVER say who they vote for? Or who they vote against?

I wish that Dada would have the guts to play this video at the next CoJ council meeting, but that would never happen.
