Rather Fight Crime than Progress!
April 10, 2010 by Georgelj28
I read with both dismay and disgust the article and photographs in our local giveaway newsletter of residents of Magaliessig suburb demonstrating against Makro opening up a branch in Fourways. Why did they not stop the building of the new hotels in that area!
Magalissig is not even near the site of the proposed Makro. The dismay and disgust stems from the fact that White farmers and ordinary citizens are being murdered and raped on their farms and in their homes respectively and these citizens do absolutely nothing about that.
But when a company wants to create business opportunities and jobs in our residential area -- apart from the major conveniemce of not having to travel very far for the local residents for wholesale shopping -- Makro is castigated and "toy-toyed" against. Let me add that I am in no way associated with Makro other than that I shop at their Woodmead branch.
I would much prefer to see that same energy and commitment given to stopping crime in our area! I know that Lonehill is a safe place to live being voted the safest suburb in South Africa last year but the Magaliessig refuses to join the security initiaive in the area. is it going to be a case of "United we stand and United we fall"?
I propose that the thinking and caring citizens of this country start a legal fund to take the likes of Julius Malema and all those other corrupt politicians to Court and to sue them in their own personal capacities to return any tax-payer's money that has been misappropriated.
Can the Congress Of the People bring change
December 13, 2008 by evl
The more I read and here about the Congress of the People the more I think they might actually get somewhere. The only thing that stops me from supporting them is that they were part of the most corrupt political party on the face of the planet and i think they might just be after power and status.
I might be wrong and I hope I am wrong because this country needs a break from the ANC.
I think we'll just have to wait and see what their views are on BEE and AA as well as crime and other things that matter. They gave their policies out but that's just to long to read.
Anyway. We'll see as time goes by if they can actually bring change that is much needed from the corrupt ANC

Promises, promises and Zuma
October 22, 2008 by evl
Yes, you and your breakaway party had so many years to completely mess up the country, and well done you did. Now get of the stage and go dance somewhere else.
Zuma now comes with promises, the famous ANC move to promise the world so a few elite can sit their fat asses and laugh while the rest of the country goes down like a drunken submarine. This time Zuma is promising tough and decisive response to the shit happening in South Africa they would so lightly call crime.
Yes I smell the general election coming so be ready to hear of millions of houses and jobs that will be created. Be ready to hear how they will screw the white man for the next 14 years in order to give back to the blacks what they never had in the first place.
This political situation we found ourselves in South Africa has another name. Its called CHAOS. Sure I dont know that much about politics but I sure do know that we will see a bunch of upgrading promises to the millions of waiting people, they have been waiting for 14 years and I bet you will find them just voting again in their blind stupidity.

How to lose a customer
September 14, 2008 by evl
The other day I went to a certain computer store in Somerset Mall where I planned to buy a iMac computer. As I marched into the store I was swarmed with sales men trying to convince me to buy the iMac. The thing is I had already decide to buy the iMac but I listened anyway what they had to say. The previous day another guy helped me and also explained to me what the benefits are of using a iMac above a normal computer. Before he spoke to me I was convinced I needed a iMac already but as usual I wanted to hear what he had to say. So now there are two sales people thinking they have convinced me to buy the iMac. When I finally bought the thing I had the sales person draw me into the corner to tell me that it was his sale after all, he introduced me to the iMac. Seeing the bitching and moaning of his fellow workers I could smell there was a big fight behind the scenes about who gets the commission. So here is what they did and how I saw it in simple terms with a bit of repeating myself: I walk into the shop, straight to the Macs, knowing that they cost the same there as in the Apple Mac store in Cape Town , decided to buy one. Not 5 minutes goes by and I am involved in the salesmen politics of who sold the iMac to me and who gets the cash. After standing there for a few minutes, seeing sales people having a barney about who's it is, they take me in a corner and try to convince me who it was the made me buy the iMac. Finally I get to pay for the iMac and the fighting continues, also by this time there is a very tense atmosphere as big as the shop is I could feel it. So I just wanted to get out of there and not go back again after feeling like a piece of meat in the middle of a lion hunt. If you train your salesmen, train them to make the sale and split the dough if they have to. If they have not done the entire deal train them to sort it out behind the curtains, where no one can see. I have spent over R50k in the last view years at that shop and they wont see me again if I can help it. They have successfully lost a client.China tells George bush to shut his trap.
August 10, 2008 by evl
Before going to the olympics George Bush condemned Beijing's human rights record, forgetting about his torture policies in Iraq. Yes, he may torture people while messing in the business of the rest of the world.
China said:
"We resolutely oppose any words or actions which interfere in the internal affairs of another country in the name of issues such as human rights and religion,"
Because the Bush said:
"America stands in firm opposition to China's detention of political dissidents and human rights advocates and religious activists,"
