Reiger Park, not a good story for the ANC VIDEO

There is no good story to tell, or as the African National Congress (ANC) will say there is always a good story to tell. Not only is Reiger Park a witness to the “no good story” there are millions of townships and squatter camps with the same story.

A video published by SABC1 this morning, focused on the Reiger Park Township and residents tell of the escalating problems that have never been resolved under the governance of the ANC. The problems appear to get worse with time and promises made by the ANC never come to fruition.

One of the biggest problems is the drug abuse among the younger generation, there is no control, no help and this is the prime cause of crime, The drug users will steal from their family to support the habit. It is an open story that the drug problem in South Africa is a major challenge and that the government has failed miserably by not taking action to stop the drug peddlers from operating freely around the country.

There are other major problems the people of Reiger Park have complained about, and one is the electricity supply. Many claim that Eskom continually switches off the lights, and that is despite the promise of no more load-shedding. Another ANC classic lie.

There are the problems of unemployment, crime, corruption, poverty, no running water, broken infrastructure, potholed roads, and the urgent need for housing. It is the same story time and time again. The ANC will say, there is a good story to tell.
