 Isn't the last part why you'd vote? I understand the whole governments are illegitimate and corrupt and and, and yes obviously nothing beats collectives on the ground actually doing the work (Afriforum, neighbourhood watches, stokvels, etc), but when it comes to corruption, obvious mismanagement, obviously archaic backend systems and nepotism, cronyism, allowing all the stuff that happened in Covid, shouldn't we use the one opportunity we have to budge the needle? Or are we only going to engage them head-on with the likes of Sakeliga when it's a bit too late? If the masses are lazy to vote, catch them sleeping.
