Pics – Inside Luthuli House

The ANC headquarters, Luthuli House in Johannesburg was abuzz this week in preparation for the municipal elections on Wednesday.

Potholes: Voters feel the ‘gatvol’ factor

The opposition sees them as electioneering tools. A private company has spotted a marketing opportunity. But for the voter in the street, they are simply “moerse gate” driving them round the bend.

Previous polls

19 September 2011

Taxi industry owned Santaco Airlines took to the skies last week promising affordable air travel to low-income earners. I think…

It would make air travel more accessible to the poor. 13% 100 votes

It would have to work hard to ensure it is safer than taxis. 43% 335 votes

It is a major breakthrough and should be treated just like any other airline. 15% 115 votes

It should capitalise on currently unserviced areas. 9% 73 votes

It is a step toward economic emancipation for black business. 20% 159 votes

16 September 2011

State Security Minister Siyabonga Cwele has divorced his wife of 26 years, Sheryl Cwele. I think…

It is long overdue. 10% 97 votes

It’s good for the country as it would be inappropriate for a state security minister to have a drug-trafficking wife. 34% 322 votes

What the minister does with his private life is none of our business. 18% 172 votes

Who cares? 38% 365 votes

13 September 2011

Girls aged between 10 and 13 were reportedly injected with contraceptives at their primary school in Zwide, Port Elizabeth. I think ...

It is fine as long as the parents agree. 14% 116 votes

It will help reduce teen pregnancies. 21% 175 votes

It is totally unacceptable if it poses any health risks to the girls. 31% 261 votes

12 September 2011

Despite the finding that ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema’s singing of the words “shoot the boer” amounted to hate speech, his supporters continued singing the “shoot the boer” song outside court. What do you make of the judgment?

It disregards struggle history. 18% 66 votes

It’s a victory for justice and racial tolerance in South Africa. 50% 182 votes

It is meaningless as Malema’s supporters continued singing the song. 32% 117 votes

08 September 2011

Crime statistics are down. I think ...

It’s the result of police action. 6% 62 votes

The stats cannot be trusted. 68% 700 votes

Even one crime is one crime too many. 16% 168 votes

Yes, but the number of rapes are up. 6% 60 votes

It’s worth celebrating. 4% 40 votes

07 September 2011

Oscar Pistorius ended a BBC radio interview after being asked whether he could be viewed as an “inconvenient embarrassment” to athletics officials for competing in able-bodied competitions. I think ...

He overreacted. 9% 45 votes

The interviewer’s question was offensive, but Pistorius should have continued the interview. 23% 109 votes

He was right to end the interview. 68% 320 votes

05 September 2011

According to a secret US document released on WikiLeaks, former president Thabo Mbeki cried before announcing his resignation. I think ...

It’s rubbish. 13% 130 votes

It’s irrelevant. 30% 296 votes

It shows that Mbeki is human. 58% 577 votes

30 August 2011

The ANC Youth League promised that their members would behave as they protested outside the ANC headquarters, Luthuli House, during Julius Malema’s disciplinary hearing. But protesters have thrown rocks and bottles at police and the media. I think ...

Their behaviour is very predictable. 40% 866 votes

This shows that the league has no control over its members’ actions. 45% 983 votes

The protesters are just showing their support for Malema. 6% 120 votes

These are rowdy elements and do not represent the league. 6% 132 votes

They were provoked by the police. 3% 70 votes

28 August 2011

The National Association of Democratic Lawyers (Nadel) has lashed out at Judge Mogoeng Mogoeng’s “active participation” in pushing in 1988 for a man whose original legal team didn’t represent him properly, to be executed. I think …

It is worrying since he is President Jacob Zuma’s candidate for chief justice. 70% 349 votes

What Mogoeng did in 1988 is no longer relevant. 30% 148 votes

24 August 2011

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith denied rumours that they were separating after 13 years of marriage. I think ...

It’s only a matter of time before they split. 14% 95 votes

The rumour is just that – a rumour. 11% 78 votes

I’m not surprised – open marriages don’t work. 14% 94 votes

It is none of our business. 53% 362 votes

This proves that no Hollywood marriage lasts. 8% 58 votes
