Twenty years later ,we have no jobs, no homes, no money and crime so no freedom to walk our streets after dark.
The only thing the ANC has accomplished in their rule so far is bigger bank accounts and properties for themselves. We work hard but we pay rent, lights and the little we have left we feed our children. We don't even have enough to pay school fees and all we see is the fat cats fighting over whose turn it is to steal from the poor.
I have a small maintenance business and I use my car to go out when I can get work. The money I make is sometimes too little to pay my rent but there is no work. Our biggest worry is how will we pay the rent at the end of the month. Many of us South Africans are in the same boat...no matter the race and we're all faced with this problem.
We fought for freedom and now we live in a country where tenders are given only to companies that are BEE and not to people of skill or semi-skilled. They don't know what to do but get the tenders and then use cheap [poor people ] labour.
This is ANC South Africa. How are we free? We swapped one race for another in power.
We the working class are meant to stay alive so that our votes can matter when needed.
