DA is not getting my vote

There have been so many DA campaigns around this country and the irony of it all is that they are targeting poor black people, why? Obviously they want more votes, but what sickens me is the fact that they really don’t give a damn about us. Yes I said it, they don’t give a damn about us.
I agree that many poor people in South Africa have been undermined by the ANC and it has taken longer for other regions to get delivery, but playing the “We care for you” card is not going to work for me. I so wish the people of this country who forget so easily could read in between the lines. Hellen Zille just wants your vote in order to run this country her way. What has she done so far?

Well, let me start with the DA advert shown on SABC on how the DA has changed a woman’s life living in Tambo Square. That’s a good tactic I must say but I doubt it has fooled everyone. The woman says that ever since the DA has been in power in her area, they have electricity and basically they now have better service delivery. The irony to this is that you should see the house she lives in. it is still an informal settlement, actually, she still lives in a shack with electricity and a water tap outside, oh and most probably a toilet outside as well.

My question is how do you begin to build a number of toilets outside without walls to cover them? You must be a heartless human being stuck in the apartheid era, thinking that black people deserve less. The RDP houses I have been to in Port Elizabeth have showers and geysers. This is a luxury to some black people and yet you go to a ‘DA owned’ province, where the majority of people who run it are white, the toilets are built outside, insulting the humanity of black people.

The DA is not getting my vote in these municipal elections. I remember visiting Cape Town for the International Jazz Festival early this year and my friends told me that Hellen Zille threatened to close down all entertainment areas at midnight. I was petrified with shock because to me that meant that we are going back to the apartheid times where black people had to be indoors at a certain time.

No matter how much the DA can deny it, their best interest at heart is not with us black people and how the ANC has not done a good job in delivering for the poor, instead they want our vote next week. She has come to Port Elizabeth for the fourth time and is planning on getting votes in the metro. I say she must forget about it because my friends and family refuse to be lead by a white person.
My message to you still remains. Do vote in these upcoming municipal elections but think about your future when you tick that box.
