We are tormented by the racist ANC government with their insistence on quota selections and it is in my view going to get much worse as a result of what happened in the elections yesterday is going to cause further raving about sport on a racist basis.  The way they went down  down from  2011

*     The ANC took only 53% of the votes in the country as a whole compared to the 62% they got in the 2011 elections.  

*     They lost the election In Nelson Mandela Metro  (Port Elizabeth) and is trying to hang on to  power in that city.   Aside from that thus far they could not get even 45%of the vote in the three Gauteng Metros  (Johannesburg, Pretoria and  Ekulh uleni.   Will have to get partners to govern  - but who would like to partner with them.

Hope  the Lions  beat sthe Hurricanes  this coming Saturday – that may just  silence the lot a bit.

 You may not be able to fool all the people, but you certainly can fool 53% of the people all the time.

 Last time they fooled 62% of the people. So 9% aren't fooled by them no more. Progress atleast.

 Well I have just watched our quota soccer team play Brazil to a zero all draw...does the media ever comment about the vastly different attitude towards soccer? Bafana played a pretty decent defensive game.

 I also found myself watching the match. 
Must admit I was pleasantly surprised with their defensive effort.  
They played rather well but never really looked as though they had it in them to score. 
They were better than expected.
