The election wars

The definition of the elections of South Africa in post President Mandela times, according to me, is just another term for "empty promises."

I've been keeping an eye on the election wars on the news, on billboards, on the radio and even on Twitter! Debate has unfolded and a war has erupted. The two main parties who seem to be fighting for power (and not the people) is the Democratic Alliance lead by Helen Zille and the African National Congress lead by President Jacob Zuma.

While i am a little bit biased because i support one of these parties, mainly because they've actually delivered a small piece of what they promised, i must say that the tactics by all of the parties are just so distasteful. Fight a good fight based on what you deliver and not on what the other party doesn't deliver!

Cape Town wants to be run by a good party that is really "for the people." We love our city and we want a democratic party that loves it just as much as we do. We don't care how silly you look when dancing, or if the colour of your skin is brown. We want a party who doesn't have ulterior motives or who merely wants Cape Town in order to have control of the whole country.

The City of Cape Town has a slogon which says, "Help us make this city great." Please, please leading party that eventually wins the local elections, HELP US MAKE THIS CITY GREAT!!
