It breaks my heart to see how useless my country has become. Our government officials are not ready or willing to take the necessary actions to protect our people. But when it comes to stealing public funds, they simply waste no time to empty our nation. Our leaders are power drunk and simply act like gods over the people they're meant to govern. May God help
I know the only way to get things done in certain areas is for residents to do it themselves, but bliksem it makes me spit poison that municipal employees are stealing our rates and taxes.
bloem is just as bad and some households pay over R4000 for erf rates. It is a total disgrace. Whoever still votes for them should get a mental checkup
Man I like your show. South Africa is such a great country. Such a wonderful history and charming people. It's so sad that Mr Ramaphosa and his associates, don't seem to care about any of that.
Ramaphosa inherited Zuma's corruption. I don't think he is moving fast enough. But I think he is trying his best. Remember Jacob Zuma wanted his wife to be president. I think all the corrupt cANCer comrades like Ace are fighting hard to undermine Ramaphosa.
My name is Joseph, I have experience in Civil Engineering works, mainly in roads construction and I raise my hand for free to help if a technical person is required to eradicate the infrastructure problems.
"They are parasites, everything they touch is one huge failure." Even the festival is a mess. Gtown was never like this. "The so called goverment has created all of this. "Everything that was good, they have trashed it all. 👀🤷♀️
From that view Grahamstown doesn't look like a "small dorpie" haha. It is small, but it's actually quite an important town! I've only been there twice. The neglect is heart breaking. But you know even here in Simon's Town where it's quite upmarket, everything owned by the navy or national government is in total ruins.
Yes... BDL Mazakhele all the way... this will be a great series... this is what we need people actually getting out there, asking the critical questions and doing something about it... Kudos to you BDL... the people hold the power... one man one vote...
Big Daddy ... Please cover Ekurhuleni. We sit without power for days (almost a week) at a time. Late trash collection... Blocked sewerage drains, no streetlamps... And as soon as they get fixed they get stolen or vandalized. We just don't know where to go or who to speak to anymore. Help!
Great initiative, great show. Sad to see how things are deteriorating under the ANCancer. Even more shocking is that people see and experience this but vote for the same people come elections. Vote the ANC out , vote for change, vote for a future. The ANC is not a good future .
I'm so so happy to have come across your channel Sihle Ngobese. Love the interesting news and topics you discuss. The logic the info the eye opening and truthful approach has made me a great supporter of your work. God bless you. You rock🙏🤗
Thanks for the show - Can I just say - Melinda Stokes from Westdene in Johannesburg - it is not just small towns but Johannesburg - Potholes, Security and Refuge is in an absolute appalling state.
BDL needs to come to Pietermaritzburg in KZN to see a similar situation what also once used to be a historic town. The reason for this chaotic situation is the government's policy of cadre employment and not employing qualified skilled people to the various disciplines in the municipalities.
Totally agree with you, PMB is totally disgusting and in total state of ruin. Municipal (so called) manager must be ousted immediately, and someone compensate employed!!
Instead of the EFF spreading hatred and division amongst South Africans, their time could be better spent doing work for the people to make a difference for all citizens. Currently only political leaders, politically connected benefit while others wait on empty promises to materialize. The ANC & DA definitely should be doing so much more than talk
Until competent leaders step forward who are willing to help without self enrichment, little is going to change. The lure of obscenely high salaries for mayor's and councillors attracts the wrong sort of people. Government is full of such people. The mayor used to earn just a nominal wage...now he gets > R1M irrespective of his/ her competence. That's the fundamental problem.
South Africa should really take steps and start to invest in biodegradable packaging because the garbage get dumped everwhere and it is a Safety Hazard.

Not just Grahamstown, also King Williams town, Queenstown and every other Eastern Cape town destroyed by the #VoetsekANC.

"Well." Said Sir you are a national treasure, for speaking out. 👀💯💪✌️
My name is Joseph, I have experience in Civil Engineering works, mainly in roads construction and I raise my hand for free to help if a technical person is required to eradicate the infrastructure problems.
Used to be such a beautiful place.
As a rate and tax payer, I am so GATVOL of paying double for things government should be providing. Sick to death of this 🤬 government!
"They are parasites, everything they touch is one huge failure." Even the festival is a mess. Gtown was never like this. "The so called goverment has created all of this. "Everything that was good, they have trashed it all. 👀🤷♀️
Great show! I hope the series continues!

Does that include the frigates and the submarines ?
"These so called pple should have never been aloud to run a country, but instead they have run it into the ground. 👀🤷♂️🥺
We must share this video wide , looking forward to the rest of series. Sobering.
Please do Queenstown next
I know many residents are looking after the roads and similar infrastructure!
Yes... BDL Mazakhele all the way... this will be a great series... this is what we need people actually getting out there, asking the critical questions and doing something about it... Kudos to you BDL... the people hold the power... one man one vote...
Not only these small towns. It is happening all over SA.
Big Daddy ... Please cover Ekurhuleni. We sit without power for days (almost a week) at a time. Late trash collection... Blocked sewerage drains, no streetlamps... And as soon as they get fixed they get stolen or vandalized. We just don't know where to go or who to speak to anymore.
Help!
Root cause is that the ANC Mayor of Ekurhuleni is basically a power hungry anti-minority racist!
Israel is cool too. Dig your cappie. Good efforts BDL.
More people need to see these types of stories. Lets pray for change and that people will use their votes correctly, which I highly doubt :(
My dude actually big 🙃
Great initiative, great show.
Sad to see how things are deteriorating under the ANCancer.

Vote the ANC out , vote for change, vote for a future. The ANC is not a good future .
"Well said.💯💪
Big Daddy needs to visit Uitenhage.

As long as the majority of people don't mind living in their own shit then this is the future of every town in SA.
"That is how they have been brought up. 🤷♀️
The decline of Grahamstown since I studied there beggars belief 😥

Great idea bdl. Love this. Hope to see more of this positive out comes.
very sad indeed.
I feel sorry for those horses near the dump.
Grahamstown has deteriorated to the worst town in SA. Infrastructure is non existent.
Instead of the EFF spreading hatred and division amongst South Africans, their time could be better spent doing work for the people to make a difference for all citizens. Currently only political leaders, politically connected benefit while others wait on empty promises to materialize. The ANC & DA definitely should be doing so much more than talk
"Their stealing is just to great.👀🤷♂️
Luv you big daddy I’m wlling to help I am a eighty years old
But I am willing to give my time to help where ever needed

"The goverment has screwed up everything that was good in South Africa. 👀🤷♀️
You must establish a Mazakhele fund for donations
Please go to Bedford,EC about 100km from Grahamstown, they have massive issues with the rubbish dump. Always burning trash which releases dioxin.
Until competent leaders step forward who are willing to help without self enrichment, little is going to change.

This is disgusting the municipal manager should be kicked out he is useless.
South Africa should really take steps and start to invest in biodegradable packaging because the garbage get dumped everwhere and it is a Safety Hazard.
The only way is to withhold taxes.
But come voting day....
politicians must fall. up against the wall
#Mazakhele
Also, suggest to people that it might be nice if people graffiti Mazakhele in their neighbourhood.
Actions speak louder than words. This is how the anc betters their voters lives. And you keep voting them in😂😂🤦🏿
Isn't it Jan van Riebeecks fault ? You get what you vote for. No sympathy from me. It's what predicted .
Makhanda.. where the cheapest vote resides... competing hard with other dorpies
Why arent you wearing a mask.... yr breaking the law
