Stop the violence already!






Last week South Africa saw a ray of violent protests around the country, among those were for service delivery.

Probably 99% of those protests turned out violent which I find extremely sad. I don't understand why our people find the need to use violence to get their voices heard. Haven't they realised that violence will do nothing but harm, absolutely no good will come out of violence but even bigger problems.

In Mpumalanga's Marambane Township residents went as far as burning the only clinic in the area. What the hell! These people are going around toy-toying, burning tyres on the roads making noise about the lack of service delivery yet they go and set alight and destroy one of the few facilities that tries to provide the community with service delivery. How silly can people be! Now where the hell do they expect to get primary health care from when they have burnt down the only facility in the community that provides it.

Then there were more angry residents for Siyathemba Township in Mpumalanga who decided to loot and vandalised shops owned by foreign nationals.

What the hell do the foreign nationals have to do with the lack of service delivery. The poor people escaped their country of birth to make a better living in our country. I mean if they as foreigners are able to make a decent living in a foreign country what is stopping the people who were born and bread in South Africa to do the same. I'm really starting to seriously believe that South Africans are lazy.

And then there was an incident of a bunch of member from the South African Unemployed People's Movement(SAUPM). Damn there's an organisation like that, I must go join it! Now these people just made laugh my ass off. The walked into Shoprite and Pick 'n Pay at Durban's City Center made like they shopping and walked out with the groceries as if they own the store. These people claim the reason they looted the shops was because of lack of service delivery.
Maybe I wasn't informed or I have a lack of knowledge but aren't these stores independently owned? What does Shoprite and PnP have to do with the government's lack of service delivery? I didn't want to say this but these people have a lack of common sense and I wish I could smack them back to reality. I understand their grievances but acting like a common thief and looting shops will not do any good for you.

Look here people of SAUPM Shoprite and PnP are business owned by a bunch of capitalists. They don't give a damn about the government's lack of service delivery. They not involved in the government's lack of service delivery. The people who you should be thieving from is the people who voted for in April.

Wake the hell up people! Violence in any form or kind will do nothing but make matters worse. Stop the foolishness and voice your grievances in a peaceful manner.

People are laughing at us dammit!!

Yea Mpume said so!
