"You are a racist!"." No, YOU are a racist!!!"

It is local Election day and the pot is calling the kettle black. The ANC supposedly only helps the blacks and opposition party DA only has the interests of the whites and a couple of coloureds at heart.
For weeks the mud wrestling has been going on in the newspapers. Especially here in Cape Town it is bad, because the DA (Democratic Alliance) can actually win the elections here; in contrast to almost every other city or village in this country.
"Take back your city" is says on one of the DA posters (or " Vat Oor" in Afrikaans). Take it back from who?, one ANC-member asked himself in the paper; from the blacks? That would be racism. No, WE are not racists, the DA replies. The ANC is racist. They don't give equal opportunities to coloured people, who also suffered from apartheid. And so on, and so on......
In the meantime I wonder if the majority of the voters are actually interested in this. They just want the free houses that were promised them eleven years ago, and the toilets and the electricity. Lots of people in townships still have to use buckets as toilets, which they probably have to search for in the dark because electricity hasn't reached their shacks made of cardboard and iron yet.
