Are you marching on Friday?

Are you marching on Friday?

  • Total voters
    14
  • Poll closed .
I wont participate, I actually don't support companies closing down for something like this, I feel the economy has taken a knock already
 
wont achieve anything marching in this country, we just all have to do what syco is doing and that is pack our bags and get the hell out of dodge.

New Zealand, Switzerland and Australia seems really tempting at the moment
 
Sorry to bring race into this, but the reality is that unless the majority of marchers are black wearing yellow ANC shirts, marching will actually have a negative effect.
If there are too many white people, the ANC will simply say this is the "white agenda" (whatever that is supposed to mean) and if there are too many non-ANC black people, they will be referred to as "puppets for the white master". I don't think the DA should have organised this march. The ANC might have organised it but because the DA got involved, they went on the defense.

When I heard that Idiot Zuma screwed up again, I was kinda optimistic that we might now hit rock bottom and that they'll HAVE to replace him. After this week though, not so much. Rock bottom is still coming, but we'll still be stuck with Mr Stupid at the top. So it's a bit hard to stay positive for SA at the moment.
 
nope wont be marching, as i feel it wont achieve anything. shutting down our country's economy wont effect him and will affect us.

if people wanted to to march go march up to his house and keep him there for the day, hell march up to parliament and protest there while its in sitting. make his day bad....
 
The economy is going to take a knock anyway because its already in the news, I just hope whoever is marching will take their frustration out on parliament and not the rest of the public their property and rights
 
All these people saying it won't make a difference :/

That is my big problem with the most of the white community.
We complain so much! and moan on social media and forums. But when we can try do something about it... we don't.
So if you feels it won't make a difference, the oke next to you, end next to him and and and... no 1 will say or do anything to show how unhappy the country is.

If you do not go because you are worried about safety, then that is 100% understandable because our law enforcement can't handle these situations and some people take advantage.

But ffs people, get some back bones!

See my previous message above. Even if ALL the white people show up, it still won't make a difference because they're white. As soon as you get a bunch of white people together marching, the ANC sees it as an attack on them and go on the defense and then nothing gets done. It has already happened. The ANC started turning on itself and then the other parties called for the moron to step down and organised the march... then they saw it as an attack on the ANC and backtracked, reaffirming support for the ANC and Zuma.

The "uprising" has to come from within the ANC. The less white people the ANC see at this march, the better.
 
I won't go and can't afford to let my people go, because we're a small company being paid by the hour. Are margins are low enough already, so a full day with no income has a detrimental effect on salaries at the end of the month...
 
I know people are planning to stand on the Bridges in Bedfordview.

My plan is to Print ZumaMustFall on some paper and stick it on every floor in my building.

Disagree.

The economy doesn't take a big knock from 1 day more or less. A bad prez on the other hand can def fk over an economy.

The other thing is that it's not necessarily a negative for the company. A company that is seen as more "human" attracts an insane amount of loyalty.
 
If I could, I would've been marching with everyone else. The reason perhaps best described by a friend of mine on Facebook:

omorrow won't change anything - democracy doesn't work that way. It may send a message...but expect a "Message has been deleted unopened by the recipient."
But tomorrow can change a mind - your own. And if you're lucky...someone else's too.
Speak to the person next to you. Learn their story. Listen to their challenges. Why they are marching, and why they feel they need to. Share a sandwich, or a sip of water. Recognise in them the human being that is so different from yourself, yet so much alike.
As divided as we are in our differences, make tomorrow count - not for removing the president, but for finding something unifying about ourselves.
And when the march is over you'll both leave, and return to your respective places in society. But hopefully, you'll both leave with a spark of understanding, a glimmer of compassion.
We might need that in the months to come.

One day is not going to bring the economy as a whole to a stand still. One day is not gonna make the president suddenly decide to step down. But one day is going to make a difference. A difference in ourselves, in the people walking next to us, in the people that feel like this is all for nothing. The impact will not be the immediate removal of the president, the impact will be the mindset change of a nation. The change will happen in people banding together. This togetherness can change a country, at least the next time an election comes around.
