On the 22nd of April 2009 South Africa was joyously partaking of their 4th "Free democratic" election to change the social scene.
"Free and democratic" if you belong to the population group who could not vote prior to 1994 and who progressed under white rule to the point where they escaped all the tragedies of the dark continent of Africa to the north. Disease, poverty, illiteracy, droughts, famine and war to name a few.
In the USA of America a black president was elected and the celebrations had hardly died down here when it was time to vote. Africans see the role of the black president as that of a Messiah and many articles appeared voicing the expectations of Africa laying claim to the financial wealth sustained by American tax payers. Black morale is elevated to new heights on the local as well as international scenes.
Against this background, white voters are coaxed into the voting system to lend legitimacy to the whole process. If you vote, you approve of the following:

The ANC has a socialist/communist philosophy and "own" the hearts and minds of 80% of the black voters in this country. They still epitomize the freedom struggle for black voters. Something which will not be changed by any of the bickering antics of the other members of the political tapestry. Way down on the list of popularity, the Jewish DA (Democratic Alliance) monopolizes the white vote and make little inroads into the black potential. Third comes COPE (Congress of the People) which is a splinter group of the ANC and made slight inroads into black voting potential and gained marginally from white voters. I won't even mention some of the other less significant political groups fighting for a one seat representation in parliament.

Against this background, white voters are coaxed into the voting system to lend legitimacy to the whole process. If you vote, you approve of the following:
- Distribution of your wealth by by either taxing means or laying claim to your property in a legal but unfair manner.
- Plans are being made to lay claim to your home to be inhabited by people to whom the government can not honor their own promises regarding housing schemes for the poor and homeless.
- Local governments divide budgets for services like electricity, water, sanitation etc into the number of predominantly white inhabitants of towns, while no collection of funds from black towns are necessary to make the budget meet demands.
- Our local schools still running as an Afrikaans medium school, are turned into English or double medium schools overnight. No local (parental) participation is allowed or taken into consideration.
- Whites being excluded from work opportunities just because of their skin color while most young - of all colors - entering the labor market had not been part of the "apartheid" era?
- There is no policy in South Africa to manage population growth. Whites have families of 1 to 3 kids, while the black population average something like 5-8 kids per home, or should I say for one couple? It is known that blacks do not practice monogamy.
If this is shocking I seriously advise you to take stock and get the facts.
Do you need more reasons why I do not vote to be part of legitimizing being pushed out onto a sidewalk, while my tax contribution is still good to oil the wheels of government and fund all these unrealistic schemes?

Fair and democratic? My ass!
