There is a new ANC sms doing the rounds. Some people on twitter also confirm this. The message reads as this:The contents of the SMS: More than ever b4, ANC needs you,cadre! We now know that more than 6 opposition parties have secretly signed a pact to form an unholy alliance& counter revolutionary coalition to combine their minority votes to stop & unseat the ANC from government, there is only 1 thing that can stop these sinister & hypocritical motives...its an overwhelming 2/3rd majority vote in the upcoming 2009 elections! A minimum of 70% election victory is our target to avoid this calamity which is aimed at regressing our democratic gains whilst perpetuating an emergence of few black elite class! Your resposibility cde is to... commit ,canvass& campaign for the ANC as never b4 2geda we can do it(pass sms 2 at least 5 cdes ) ALUTA!!!Seem that the ANC is really desperate and they cant win the normal way of actually delivering service. Instead they have to do fear mongering.
The ANC's plan for creating jobs
March 2, 2009 by evl
The ANC released their plans today for creating jobs. It reads as this:Over the last 15 years we have achieved significant levels of sustained economic growth. We have managed to progressively increase the rate at which jobs have been created. But despite our progress, we still face massive unemployment and widespread poverty. We need to continue to grow the economy, and make sure that the benefits of growth are shared among all South Africans. That is why the ANC has developed a clear and achievable plan that will grow the economy over the next five years and create more decent jobs. This plan includes: * a massive public investment programme, expanding and improving rail networks, public transport, port operations, dams, housing, telecommunications and energy generation; * an expanded public works programme linked to the infrastructure programme and meeting social needs with home-based case, cr
Al Quaeda blames Barack Obama for Israel-Gaza conflict
January 7, 2009 by Daizy
Seeing that the conflict goes back to 1960 I cannot fathom why they can blame him. Apparently they believe it's Obama's present to Israel. Huh?! Ok how can a war that was started by Hamas even remotely be blamed on Obama or America.The way the Muslims continue to think that the world revolves around hating them, is seriously clouding their judgment. Hamas continual rocket fire into Israel started this current battle, not Obama. Then they people argue put Hamas has the right to be angry because they live in a segregated community. Now flashback to when the border was made and the Israeli's was forcefully removed from their homes to give it to the Palestinians, all the Arab countries agreed upon the boundaries. Actually everyone was happy to force Israel into giving Gaza to the Palestinians. What a mistake. The Israeli's created and oasis where there was desert. They built all the hospitals and schools they had flourishing greenhouses. Where is all those things? Destroyed by Hamas for some inexplicable reason. Their hate so much stronger than their common sense. I saw on tv how the Israeli settlers cried over they're homes and farms as they where being forced from their homes. Back then it was green and beautiful now it's becoming desert again.
Green houses before Palestinians took over Gaza
They burned them all 14$million worth greenhouses destroyed for arms smuggling tunnels.
War between Israel and Gaza
December 28, 2008 by Daizy
I do not understand why everyone is concentrating on the fact that Israel attacked Gaza. Think carefully if this was for example the United states of America and Mexico kept shooting missiles over the border and sending in suicide bombers, there would be a wall up in a week and they would declare war on Mexico. Same could be said for any country.
So why is Israel being blamed for trying to defend it's people? Hamas do not want to share Israel, they want it under Muslim rule, they want to own the whole country. It's not like they give Israelis a choice. Hamas will not stop they are determined that Israel must once again be a Muslim nation. And that can never be done because if that would happen the whole of Israel would be destroyed.
Think about what happened to those Buddhist statues that was blown up because according to Muslim law such things should be destroyed. Israel will defend itself until the last Israeli and Hamas would do the same Hamas's law prohibit that they share the land with Jews and Christians, this is not about Gaza being sectioned of from Israel. They where separated because they kept blowing up people and bringing terror into Israel. Not because Israel is racist and mean. There would be no peace in that part of the world for a long time, the rest of the world should just leave it be.

We can clearly see that this country is going the direction of Zimbabwe. I might be wrong but I guess I can give my opinion.Have you ever used your survival gear?
December 24, 2008 by evl
The other day I got myself some flint and steal. You know you strike the flint against the steal and the small pieces that fall off are heated, they light the tinder which then in turn lights the fire which gives you a real great fuzzy feeling because you did not use any modern form of lighting the fire. Well, to my surprise I found that I had never used a flint and it was harder than I thought. You see you have to strike the flint a certain way to light the fire. It really is not as easy as it looks. This will teach us a lesson. Many people gather equipment for they might need it one day and even though they have the equipment they have no idea how to use it. If you dont know how to use your survival gear it really is not worth the extra weight, especially in real survival situations. Learn to use your gear so you dont get stuck with something you dont know how to use as well as carrying the extra weight.4 things that annoy me as a blogger
December 24, 2008 by evl
Rss feeds
I hate it when people use my rss feed. Seriously, you want to read my stuff then come to my site. I cant stand it when sites and bloggers tell how many Rss subscribers they have. I bet you not even 1% of people that are subscribed to a site actually come and visit the site.
Although I hate it when people read my rss feed on a reader I still like reading other sites on readers. I know, my right to be annoying.
Leaving url in comment
Sometimes I am amazed at people. The comment section clearly states url. Now that means you dont have to repeat your url in the actual comment, it saves you time and effort. But no, you get these annoying people that fill in a comment and then put their urls under what they've written. Maybe someone should make a comment how-to to explain how the thing works.
Telling people where you've not been before
I have done exactly this for some time until I realized how stupid I must of sound to those that really has been there and know what they are talking about. Although I now have the experience, i also blogged about how to make money before I actually made money.
its like fooling people into believing you make money to make money from them.
Link exchange
I get these really annoying emails asking for link exchange. Here's a tip. Link your one page to your other page. There you have a link. Happy now?

If South Africa is so great, why are you not here
December 23, 2008 by evl
I often speak to people that tell me to stay in South Africa while they are enjoying the richer countries like Europe or Somewhere in America.
They all have the same story, they left South Africa and now they really miss it and then they tell you to stay because its a great country.
If you ask them why they are not here they will give you a few good reasons but the fact is they are still not here. The only advice you really can take from someone living in another country is to emigrate, but you cant take their advice to stay in South Africa because they are not even doing it.
You will see comment from home sick South Africans all over the internet, what a nice country etc we have. Well just like they are not in the country because of some issues the same way you might want to leave the country.
Its nice sitting in a place of safety and security telling people to stay.
