Eff, MK, AMM, Jacob Zuma, Julius Malema, Floyd Shivambu, Ace Magashule, John Hlope,Busisiwe Mkhwabane, Brian Molefe, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, Lucky Montana. What is this? I'll tell you. It's a list of politicians who want to run South Africa. How sick is that? Nearly every one of them should either be in jail, or defending themselves in our law courts. But they draw fat salaries and perks as politicians. And the alternatives? The ANC (God forbid), and the DA, our only hope.
If the DA is our only hope, then Steven's quote on the eve of the Battle of Stirling to Wallace is apposite "The Almighty tells me He can get me out of this mess, but He thinks you're f***ed".
Please supply alternatives if you do not believe that the DA is SA's "only hope".
