Thanks for this. I'm also a South African staying in Gauteng and also aware of this DA corruption. Our country is falling apart because of this and everything is covered up.

That's good. Few people are aware. Those who are critical treat the DA like a tabloid and then vote for them again. But the rot is so pervasive that it is, fundamentally, the party.

I remember Tony Leon warning us about Helen Zille's abrasiveness and more importantly her inability to see aspects of her own nature which would trip her up (and the DA) down the line. Her blind belief in her morality and her messianic complex makes her the biggest douche bag of all. Her behavior during the covid scam disrobed her. Kaalgat for all the world to see.

The irony is that she is a double-edged sword. She may cut the DA but many in the Public respond well to forceful personalities no matter how much they hurt us. Nevertheless, I believe that it's Zille that stopped the DA becoming the truly multi-colour and bigger party it could have been..

It seems that corruption is a common problem for all involved with politics.

Keep throwing rocks at the bad guys,Mike.

Just remember to be careful. You don't want to wind up being lunch for a group of hyenas.

Mike, I applaud you for fighting so hard, and at such personal risk, against corruption in your government. I must admit, it was tough for me as an outsider to follow everything, but it sounds--honestly--incredible. You are a brave man. This is harrowing. I worry for your safety.

It's quite simple once the enemy is determined.

I’m glad to see a couple of your countrymen commenting here. You seem capable to carry this on your shoulders but a little help is sometimes welcome.

I'm glad for it but need a hundred thousand on board. This has been a 13 and half year solo journey, except for pretenders who then backstabbed. People eventually want a piece of the power they claimed to despise.
