I asked you to explain your statement: Fortunately, we live in a democracy and votes are allocated in proportion of income!!! I'm waiting.

However, the last time I checked we don't live in a one party state.
Are you seriously suggesting that there will ever be another ruling party than the ANC? The elections have been a charade.

Its a democracy and the large majority of citizens would rather that money be spent on the world cup.

Can I take it that you have personally polled a sufficient number of them to validate this sweeping statement. That you have said to them : "Would you like to live safely and with better security and health services, education and job prospects for your children, or would you rather that South Africa hosted a World Cup which you will probably not be able to afford to attend anyway?

Surely if they didn't want this they would vote out the government? Or are you suggesting that our elections are a sham?
And how would they do that? By not voting ANC? And then?

Who are you trying to fool? Can I have some of whatever you've been drinking or smoking please, it seems to induce a feeling of euphoria.

And do you really think that Argentina, Mexico, and Brasil are valid comparisions with South Africa?
