    You say I'm not even close to the facts when I can substantiate everything I have said based off released data. Let's go through your points - You make the claim that "official num…

    Literally no one said there isn't a problem. No one said that. But disagreeing about a 'state of decline' when the facts of the quality of improvement of the lives of the entire po…

    So you don't have links to back up your claims. What is also hilarious is ad hominem trying to call me a communist (which I am not), and shouldn't matter either way. But what is fu…

    Fascinating you say "a country that is in steady decline" when all the data of the past 29 years since the start of democracy seems to go against that statement. I hate the ANC for…
