Even though I have had my doubts, I have now firmly decided to vote for the DA, comes 3 August.
I have been in two minds whether I should vote for the DA after what they did to me a couple of years ago. Let me tell you about it.
Just before the last elections, we had a sieee-rieee-jus sewage leak just up the road from my house. I called our DA councillor, and reported the problem to him. Faster than you can say: “Zuma is my blesser,” three DA leaders appeared – as if out of thin air. And a cop car. And a reporter from a local newspaper. And two bakkies loaded with workers. And their tools.
Within an hour the problem was solved.
The reporter took pictures of the smiling politicians; the workers loaded the shit sewage into their bakkies; the cops sat sleeping in their car; the councillor handed out those floppy blue DA hats as a bribe to the innocent bystanders – if they promised to vote for the DA – and the cavalcade departed the scene of the grime crime.
Back home, I tried on my new DA hat.
What a letdown! The bloody thing was miles to small! There and then, I decided not to vote for the DA. I mean, how can you expect a political party to run a country, if they cannot even get a simple thing, like a hat size, correct?
But that is all water under the bridge.
This time I’m going to vote for the DA. Why? I’ll tell you:
I’ve just heard Mmusi Maimane make a promise, that if we vote for the DA, he will give us free houses.
Maybe the house will fit my head. We’ll see…
PS The ANC is also offering bribes of free houses. And jobs, and free education, and free services, and free electricity, and free water, and free…
Maybe I should reconsider?
