A tale of two cities

In the comments of the recently held elections, one sentence kept coming up;,,The DA is a party for ALL,,This is just ,not, true !!

Look at Johannesburg and surroundings. Many of the previous called ,White, suburbs, like Rosebank, Killarney and Bedfordview, have been kept in great shape. Major parts of the ,old, Jhb CBD, especially where our major banks have their Head Offices have been upgraded.To the south west of the ,old, CBD,  is Soweto, which pre 1994 was a dangerous township, which has been transformed into a modern , mostly peaceful,  African city, where many Whites go to do their shopping.

To the north of the ,old, Jhb CBD, is the ,new, Jhb CBD, Sandton, with Sandton City as its center,which is the economic and financial heart of Africa.Sandton has grown tenfold since 1994.

Now look at Cape Town  and its surroundings.The CBD is still the same as under the National party dictatorship.So is Camps Bay and Rondebosh.

Actually NOTHING has changed in the Western Cape , since the DA took over.Khyalitsha and Langa plus all other ,townships, in the W Capeare still depressing dangerous townships, like pre DA DA = a party for ALL ???NOOOOO NOT AT ALL
