why did I want to sign this? It is a question I asked myself, looking deep into this dark pit in my stomach... Every time I think of this country of mine I start do feel sick and queasy, our land is dying, would anyone listen to this? Is this just another waiste of time? And what would happen if Zuma does step down? Who is our next inline? Julius? I think he might be worse... I'm a proudly white South African woman, and I don't vote because I'm racist, I believe the corruption, crime, violence etc is a interracial problem that affects each and every South African, no one is exempt from this issue. It is difficult to see a change coming, as we don't just deal with rational responsible people who would make a wise decision on what is best for this beautiful country of ours... The majority unfortunately make decisions on what their forefathers might say, or how bad their punishments might be... I often wonder how can these issues really be raised in a non racial way so everybody can get onto the same page and all of us could stand together... We the people need to realize that we do have the right to answers, our leaders need to realize that they do have to supply those answers when asked, as long as we pay our taxes, toll fees, over the top petrol prices, high interest rates, and every little new money making scheme that is thought up, we have a right to, crime prevention, proper service delivery, having a say, asking questions, have works, proper education etc... Unfortunately it seems like we moving to the Middle Ages where the poorest of the poor is being taxed, murdered, raped with no privileges. And we should stop looking for help from elsewhere as no one will help the people of South Africa... We need to stop complaining and start doing things for ourselves... When we are asked for a bribe, don't pay it because it's easier, cause this encourages crime and corruption, we should stop looking at poor service delivery and shrug and say "it's the new South Africa," or "welcome to the new South Africa"... We are the architects of our own misery in this country, because we allow ourselves to be victimized, we let them steal from us, we allow corruption... We are the people and we do have a right to say no... This is only my opinion, if you do agree good for you, if you don't, good for you too... I don't care either way, I just want my voice to be heard
