No Comments Please



We are closed to comments from listeners until after the municipal elections. The state-owned South African Broad Casting (SABC)  and linked radio shows have issued a statement informing the public that there will be comments from the public. 

Another African National Congress (ANC) tactic to stop opposition parties and their followers from bad-mouthing the ruling party. The ANC do not want constructive criticism, and it might hurt their reputation as the party with the GOOD NEWS STORY. 

What happened to free speech.  It is a blatant abuse of power; the ANC will use the media and radio to promote their lies and hide their failures.  The uneducated masses, who do not have access to the internet rely on radio stations and television to report on current affairs. It is these masses that usually vote for the ruling party, and they will continue to do so until the situation changes or so one hopes.

Of course, the millions who drive on the highways for hours daily, use this network to comment on a topic will probably be disappointed.  Thankfully, there are millions of people who have the use of social media and can utilise this platform to read between the lines and post comments. I guess not even the ANC can stop it all.
