Why do we always pay for some services we hardly ever use?.. Tv has become unispiring and less predictable these days... Why do I need to pay for the whole lot, if I only need sports and news channels. Mobile operators are rippinf us off as well. DataNetworks in S.A are pathetic.. Amazon.com has blacklisted S.A Post office[thieves]... The only African state blacklisted... Now one has to pay btwn r250 - r400 to get a book or cd couriered to your door... blackmail, blacklisted, blackhole,blackout.....etc..... Eish.

Yeah man, we are getting ripped off here in Mzansi... SABC isn't worth the TV License fee (I'm honestly starting to think SABC programming is a conspiracy to make us dumn), when a BMW 3series is made here in SA and shipped to Australia it costs more here for the basic model than it does in Australia for the same car with all the extras... we need to boycott...
Sasol shouldn't be making so much money, if we were all not to fuel up for a day it would skrew them over so badly even if we were to all fill up the next day. But South Africa hasn't come together for a common cause after '94...
Oh man there I go sounding like an extremist again, but I've always thought that just enough is never good enough.

with regards to the sabc issue, when they buy rights to a movie they pay an extra fee to get old movies which they rotate on all 3 channels. at the end of the day they make a good income at our entertainment expense.

You are probably right with us being ripped-off, Abe and about us not uniting for a cause. I for one has never owened a TV - it kills the culture of reading. As to the issue of standing up for something, we all live as if we have no choice, Amazing when you think about - we may be unhappy with the political situation but feel really feel we can not change it a year before general elections!! To feel we know how we are to vote because there is no choice is scarry in a democracy!

I rest my case.
We are divided, what each and every one of us wants the 'new' world to become is not a collective thing --- and that there is that 'choice' --- you can choose to fight for lower food prices or better television content --- it's a right one has.
You can choose to over-charge for food, it's a business, it's about profit, free market --- you can choose to overcharge for 'cheap television shows' --- it's a business, it's about profit. One is entitled to make gazillion-million-rand profit from fuel, it's a free market.
You can choose to join a revolution or not. You can choose to protest or not. You can choose to sit and and complain about it and do nothing about it, it's a right you have.
Don't get me wrong --- there is mad value in sitting in Rosebank, drinking wine and sharing our disgust at the state of the world and/or poverty --- but doing that means one has also have to be aware that change will not be 'bestowed' on us because we hold a middle-class-pseudo-utopian-intelligent view of the world.
Somebody will do something 'bout our discontent, but it does not mean they will do what we 'envisioned' in our discussions, between sips of crashed grapes, it will be their 'own vision'.
Que: JayZed, ANYCL --- and they cannot be blamed for taking power because we lacked the ability to mobilise and do it ourselves - but at least we can go back to the Rosebank, sip on some more wine for the next 5 years, and share the same discontent, election-year over election-year, and name-call 'em.
*extremism is good in the short term.

The whole struggle was to have the power to decide our own fate. When we arrive we are in many ways being told that we can't. What is lousy is that we are starting to believe it! I truelly believe that most of you don't like the kind of future we are being offered. Some don't even like the leadership we are being offered as the only one available. We can either accept it or we can choose to reject it. If we don't do it soon, we shall find it harder to make these choices int he future - look at Zimbabwe. The choice is obvious for the citizens of that country, but these have becom more expensive to buy. We need to learn that no one, not a single civil structure has a devine right to lead. Patriotism is not loyality to leaders or parties - this could actually be treason. Patriotism is the loyality to our land and its people of all social levels and ethnic backgrounds. I demand a different future than the one on offer.

@rudz - you remind me of Brutus from JULIUS CAESAR. I think now (possibly for the first time) i understand where he was coming from.

Brutus? Eish! The main difference I suppose is that Brutus craved power. At the moment, I shun it (I am praying this doesn't change). I do want change though. I want hope Ntsasa, not just for me, but for you too.

@Rudzani - i meant it in the best way possible ;-)
esp relating to the part where you said:'Patriotism is not loyality to leaders or parties - this could actually be treason. Patriotism is the loyality to our land and its people of all social levels and ethnic backgrounds.'
