ANC's rocky election path; the environmental reality of prawns; and SA's wine industry concerns

ANC’s rocky, potholed road to the election, that prawn on your plate is not as ‘green’ as you think, and why South Africa’s wine industry is in a tight corner.

Politics are really a dangerous game.greedy leaders don't just care about the supbodinates but themselves, family and friends.what is happening in my country today is very sad. ANC vs ANC is very sad.sona today loadshedding stage 6 today shows how bad these guys they use all monkey tricks to destroy each other.unfortunately there's no one to lead this country other than the current "sabotaged" administration.i hate to talk about EFF because their greed is worse.and equally want to talk about the DA of whites who made me a third class citizen in my own country.i shudder to imagine what exactly is going to happen after this elections but my country will remain in good hands except the DA.

I simply wish to ask this question: Since the very first democratic elections under our founding President Mandela, who is largely said today to have been a great statesman, what has been the percentage of white voters that ever voted for his party the ANC? If we can answer that question honestly then I will ask why that is the case?

For the same reason blacks do not vote for the DA, regardless of their sterling governance as proven in the Western Cape. I hope that answers your question.

30 year's is a long time. Nearly a life time. If the ANC could not get it right in 30 year's they will never get it right. And then our country was broken of in that time so it will never survive under the ANC. The DA must firstly get rid of Helen Zille. She does not belong there. I think Musi Mayamani can do a thing. His wife is white so he know both cultures. After 30 year's there can no longer be a blame on "apartheid". That is looking for excuses. Yea. The best thing for all is to go and vote. If you don't vote you can complain about anything you don't like.

Keep up the good work you are doing, without which we will certainly never know the truth of what direction our country is going. eNCA being a propaganda machine for the ruling party.

While criticising the ANC, for their costly, inept & ineffectual cadre appointments. There is one we must be grateful for. We've all heard of the wonderful fruit RSA produces, and I have purchased it often in Europe. But the fruit we buy locally, is at best second grade. Yesterday, I bought some fantastic grapes, big, flavoursome, the skin melts in your mouth, no seeds. The perfect table grape !. I believe this is thanks to the incompetent cadre collapsing the local Ports, and Farmers not able to get their fruit exports moving. Thank you TRANSNET !.
