Ive never been a fan of DA or PA or FFP. But these ministers are the only ones that come onto the news and talk about their portfolio and the job at hand. ANC, EFF and MK ONLY discuss race and prerend to victims of their own crimes. I see now why they are scared of non racialism.
I agree with insurance. Residentsal property also.

GNU is not time to make noise like EFF but showing citizens what you are capable of doing.
Security of Tenure John.You did not answer that question,BBBEE in the agricultural is way behind ket say mjning, transformation of the agri sector.The possibility of a moratorium on all farm evictions.
