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.
