The recent spate of stinky protests in the Cape have made headlines all over the world and the authorities of the Democratic Alliance-led Western Cape have no answer to this.
They are so political that they lose sight of what the problem really is. Mayor, Patricia De Lille is so blind to the facts that she is now on panic mode, especially following the assault at the Cape Town International Airport. They knew that the toilets issue had not been resolved and it was negligent of them to assume that those who seek to control the province would have forgotten.
She is talking things like "The ANCYL wants to sabotage the province". Yes! That's what they want so that you, Ms De Lille, should step down as mayor.
The problems with Cape Town, and especially for Black people, is that we feel that we are not being listened to. It is not only this province which has issues and problems it fails to address but the difference between the other provinces and this one is that this one here is ruled by a white person. Not to sound racist or anything but let's face it; which suffering black man wants to be ruled by a white person? Really. The thing about white people is that they don't understand the struggles of the poor person.
Because the poor are being led by a party of people whose positions during the apartheid struggles were unclear due to their skin colour, it is problematic for the poor man to have faith in them. Biko once said if white people were standing with and among the native people during the struggle for liberation from the Boere, then let them come and stay in the areas in which all the mess took place.
Even to this day, very few white people, even those who directly benefited from the ills of the Boere, have come to the townships to live there. They are happy to pass and view us from the topless roof of the red tourist bus which makes a turn in Khayelitsha ever so often. They don't want the life which is led by the poor people. At least not for themselves.
Now, when Helen Zille says things on TV and radio about how good the DA's governing systems are, she only convinces white South Africans and those Black people who have never known suffering, and as a result of that we see frustrated youths doing what we saw them doing. The trick to learn there, Mrs Zille, is that you listen and then you deliver. End of it.
We know and I am the first to admit that the ANC-led national government is not good at all if you look at the Jacob Zuma administration term, but they are a bunch of ANC people afterall. So, advice to you DA people: Stop acting holier than jesus christ of the bible. Quit this thing of pleasing the white folks for they have everything already, turn your attention to the people who stay with shit in their homes, in buckets. They will be sick and cause the City a lot of problems and then we will have a really big issue.
And for the record, I did not like what the ANC guys said about Lindiwe's dress code. I think she is a beautiful young lady whose politics are played in the wrong field.
Let freedom of the poor reign and let them that have nothing, have, so that those who have may have some but not all.
