Stop the gravy train

You know what really grinds my beans? Politics.TO be more precise, South African politics. All I wanted for Christmas was a year with no Zuma, no xenophobia, no mudslinging, just peace and quiet.

SA politics is just so pathetic. The ANC is upset about the new COPE party, nobody else is. Suddenly people have to swear their undying love to a party to keep their jobs.

In my opinion, COPE and the DA should make a deal... I'm positive that the elections will see a lot of people voting for these two parties and it will only make sense if they work together. I'm just saying... 2 heads have always been better than 1 - and more votes, well, that could change the leadership for us.

The question is, just how deep are tribal loyalties? Will some people realise that empty promises will never be enough, or will they once again just vote for a party that did good in the past but in more recent years got quite good at riding a leaking gravy train, covering up incompetence and general nepotism?

SA has come a long way, but another change is needed to get this country to where it could be. Unfortunately I doubt that the current government is up for the challenge.
