Judging by comments to my previous article "Should we or should we not vote... and why?", apparently, it is not necessary to vote, but one has to ask, had everyone voted, for whichever political party other than the ANC in order to reduce the ANC's majority in parliament to the least number of seats needed for a party to rule, would these pieces of legislation still have been passed?
Of course it does not change the fact that we have two ANC's in parliament, being the ANC and the ANC disguised as the DA. It also does not change the fact that, soon, we'll also have the EFF, the militant (bad-cop) wing of the ANC entering parliament, which will of course make things even more difficult to control.

Should we or should we not vote... and why?
There are only two reasons we should vote, one of which is particularly important, but we'll get to that.
Besides the fact that choosing which party to vote for in 2014 must be the most confusing and difficult voting decision in the history of South Africa, the pressure is also upon us to not vote at all.
No We Should Not Vote or Yes We Should Vote?
"Having regular, free and fair elections is one of the cornerstones of democracy. This goes together with other important democratic principles such as the right to vote, to choose which party you want to belong to and to accept the results of an election."
What 'n load of nonsense. The word "democracy" is so overblown, because "democracy" is a farce. Democracy means having the right to make a cross like an illiterate on a piece of paper once every five years. Before that and after that, you have no rights no say and, no input anywhere or, in any way whatsoever. So please do not be fooled by this nonsense about voting for the sake of "democracy".

The Grooming Of A Capitalist SA President
The game of Politics surely is the most interesting game there is. So unpredictable, yet so intriguingly predictable from a bird's-eye view.
An amazing political plan comes together, putting Mamphela Ramphele against Jacob Zuma for South African presidency.
It should be obvious that Agang SA was purposely founded to introduce and sell Mamphela Ramphele to the public, grooming her for the DA as their presidential candidate.
Agang SA is a South African political party, formed by anti-apartheid activist Mamphela Ramphele only on 18 February 2013. Before Agang SA she was virtually unknown as a public figure and particularly as a political figure. Obviously funded from abroad, she founded the new political party Agang SA.
It was a party that was going nowhere and it had virtually no followers, but as leader of this dead-duck-party she was afforded a platform and the opportunity to make the news headlines. Small a party as it was, the media gave her huge exposure, beyond anything seen before with any brand new insignificant little party.
The merger between the DA and Agang is announced and almost immediately she gets presented as the DA's presidential candidate?

"Assessing Democracy in the New South Africa" by Robert Hamerton-Kelly
For those really interested in a reasonably objective piece on the New SA, this should be worth reading.
It is a pity the author passed away last year (July 7, 2013) as I would have loved to have a chat to him. I actually set out to find his contact detail and in my quest I discovered that he had passed away.
He presented a paper on SA in February 2002 and I would have loved the same author to update this 12 years on.

List of Whites Murdered in South Africa During 2013 Compiled by Sunette Bridges
Sunette Bridges posted this list on her Facebook page today. The list contains the names of whites murdered in South Africa during the course of 2013 only.
The first question liberals would ask is 'Why whites only?". The answer is quite simple, because whites care!
The white community is blessed with people like Sunette Bridges and others actually taking the time, trouble and expense of documenting these murders for us. Or is Sunette Bridges also expected to do this on behalf of other groups also? Would the blacks, coloureds and Indian community do this for whites?
While liberals are focused on denying these murders, lists like these prove the minimum number of whites murdered, because each and every one of these cases have been referenced and verified. So even with all the best efforts of internationally funded businesses like Africa Check and others, they cannot deny these murders. While we cannot state that this list is a complete list of all the whites murdered, it does prove the minimum number of whites murdered between January the 1st 2013 and December 31st 2013.
While Sunette's message is written in Afrikaans, the list of murdered whites is compiled in English.

South Africa - A Failed State, But Denied to Make the ANC Look Good
According to a letter published on News24, South Africa's debt will soon reach R1,7 TRILLION (1,700,000,000,000 or 1700 BILLION)
“This is the first time I have felt anxious about the future,” “We never felt pessimistic, we felt optimistic all along, but now, I feel worried for the first time.” admitted Leon Louw, a prominent anti-apartheid activist and executive director of the South Africa-based Free Market Foundation.
Please see "Further Reading" at the end of this page
How much is a R-billion?
Earning R60,000 per year would take you 16,700 years to earn R1-billion.
The year 2013 ended with the news that South Africa’s state debt was rising alarmingly high. While the debt equalled 27% of the country’s gross national product (GNP) five years ago, it has now risen to 40%.
When SA's debt reaches R1,7-trillion it would mean that each citizen would owe R33,300 without having bought anything, BUT 99% of all taxes are paid by only 3.3 million South Africans.
This means that of the R1,7-trillion, 3,3 million South African tax payers would be responsible for R1 683-billion of that total debt, which means that they would each be responsible for R510,000 of SA's debt.

Mandela’s legacy: The Collapse and Destruction of South Africa
"We all know that land reform is one of the trickiest and most
emotional issues facing South Africa. If handled badly, it could even
create civil war. It could certainly lead to food shortages, prices
going through the roof and an increase in food imports we can ill
afford." - Clem Sunter
"South Africa’s credit risk is rising relative to emerging-market peers on investor concern the nation may get downgraded as economic growth sputters and borrowing costs increase."
"Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s have a negative outlook on the nation’s debt."
"South Africa’s default swaps are the fourth-highest among 25 emerging and major markets monitored by Bloomberg."
"The rand’s 18 percent plunge against the dollar this year, the worst out of 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg, is threatening to fuel inflation, reducing the central bank’s room to stimulate the economy."
Source: SA credit risk rises on downgrade worries
“This is the first time I have felt anxious about the future,” admitted Leon Louw, a prominent anti-apartheid activist and executive director of the South Africa-based Free Market Foundation. He told WND that throughout all of the turmoil in South Africa in recent decades, “We never felt pessimistic, we felt optimistic all along, but now, I feel worried for the first time.”

The beautifully decorated rotten egg hailed as a saint
So it took a beautifully decorated rotten egg to draw blinded sheeple from their closets.
Here was a rotten egg that was painted with absolute care over a prolonged period of time, along with much patience and planning. Much thought went into its design, for this rotten egg was to be marketed to the world as the absolute masterpiece, the most perfect piece of artwork the world had ever seen.... a ruthless terrorist presented as a pacifist, as a man of peace, a peace-maker and a saviour, a hoax if ever there was one.
Suddenly now we are finding more-and-more people, even supposedly conservative people, people promoted as "leaders", praising the painted rotten egg, wishing Mandela well, forgiving him and wishing for him to "Rest In Peace", that beautifully painted rotten egg.

Nelson Mandela "Speak now or forever hold your peace"
We see it all day each and every day on Facebook, on Twitter, in the newspapers, we hear it on the radio, see it on Television.
Behold, the messiah of the ignorant, childish, feeble-minded sheeple.
Most people of the world are like the mice, the rats and the children of Hamelin blindly following the Pied Piper, entranced by the beautiful, hypnotic sounds coming from his flute that leads them to hell.
It is sickening to see how people are praising a man who refused to renounce violence until the day he died, the very same man who gave the order to shoot to kill at Shell House, a massacre of Zulus, and this after he was released from prison, the man of peace, the man that was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the man who pleaded guilty to his acts of treason and terrorism at the Rivonia trials.
What makes Mandela different and special?
A listed terrorist until 2008 that went around hugging people and those hugs turned him into a humble saint, a "flame that lit the world and symbolised hope."?
Is it not strange how simple hugs and pretentiousness charisma could suddenly change people's perception of a terrorist?
"One could change a man's personality, but never his character." The character of a terrorist can never be changed. Once a terrorist, always a terrorist.

Did Jacob Zuma's Nkandla really cost more than Mandela, Mbeki, de Klerk and PW Botha's residences?
I'm not all that impressed, let alone shocked, by the latest chart doing the rounds, comparing the taxpayers' money wasted on the homes of the past five presidents.
I'm beginning to think that it is all propaganda. Now I am certainly no Jacob Zuma fan, but I think we have to be reasonable at all times. What is good for the goose is good for the gander, right?
Firstly, at least R91 million should be added to Mbeki's figure, because the R12 million mentioned in the chart, which mysteriously excludes the R 91 miliion spend on building a wall from imported materials around his house.
it also does not mention all the money ever spent on all Mandela's residences.
