We also want the soft life they're living. Ngiyema lapho!"

@BhejaEmpirePty added:

"It doesn't matter; already, the state is spending billions of grant money to over 20 million people, yet that money is taxed to 8 million workers. Personal tax income is a thorn to the flesh of those who're affected if you didn't know. At least 20 million people were the ones paying taxes for 8 million people."

@uMaster_Sandz asked:

"Is Penny the president now to be giving us promises?"

@dmotloung argued:

"The MK party makes up all these ideas as they go. That's why they plagiarise the EFF manifesto word for word. I suppose it makes sense because the supreme leader is still a member of the ANC."
