Note by Marc Aupiais
As we have a right to vote, we ought certainly vote right. Whether not voting at all, or voting for the right mayor.
Mother convinced me to vote this time. I am not to say for which party. Private as I am. No longer a Democratic Alliance politician at my University, I need no longer say whom I voted for.
Voting encourages transparency. Especially in by-elections when your voice is amplified. So few vote. So many count the consequence.
Both the COPE and ANC have raised the ancestors from the ground, and resurrected God for their campaigns- or so they claim.
The DA has claimed business management and experience and lack of corruption as their manifesto. And added bad dancing to the mix.
What does this all mean?
My electricity bill is so high it affects my ability to buy new gadgets. I am restricted in my number of pets I'm allowed, I think unfairly. Madmen have been forced to the streets so I fear to open my car window.
All this is my fault. Is yours.
For a healthy democracy we must debate, must vote, must raise the real issues and criticise both sides- objectively.
We must educate all on real issues. Not smoke, mirrors and sunlight dish washing liquid.
The DA and ANC's ability to build toilets and walls around them have been a focus.
People march and riot in streets. Police torture, murder.
My phone conversations, yours are all kept on record (RICA Amendment act), as with our e-communication.
Vote. But also talk politics.
Wake up oh sleeper. I certainly have. And I shall vote... Possibly DA as I always have.
Discuss the election. Write about it. Tell your friends on facebook.
You are more connected to your friends and acquaintances than anyone else... Than a distant newspaper writer with bi-focals.
Superman was my hero growing up. Not the guy with the underwear without. Likely not washed ever. And very uncomfortable and unfashionable in a woman's tights.
No- Clark Kent, Louis, his girlfriend. Tell the truth. It will set things right, and let the good out.
But tell it wisely. Look between the smoke and mirrors. God bless you. Now off and vote.
