They need votes

Boutros Nen says:

Please scrap my debt as well

The people of Soweto wants everything for free. In 10 000years their kind has not come up with a single good idea, new invention or moved homo sapiens 4ward. Yet their entitlement knows no limits. Human parasites.

Phumudzo Nemadidi says:

Your "expert" or "analyst" is none at all, he is just speaking from his stomach. What he says makes no sense at all and I don know why Tumelo is not asking him relevant questions so that he can come out of his stomach and speak to reality.

The question is, why are people of Soweto not paying their bills. Why should my poor mother in Limpopo pay the bill for a person in Limpopo. She is poor as many other residents of Limpopo, but no one is asking for government to scrap her bills. Why should we treat the people of Soweto with kid gloves and the tell everyone else about responsibility?

Charles Manning says:

You get what you reward.
If you reward people for not paying then they will not pay.

Samantha Holm says:

The people who use less are charged less and those that use more are charged more. That is already in place.

Samantha Holm says:

They already wrote off Sowetos debt. How many times?

Boss.B GP says:

??? I wish my debt could also just be crapped..

Cloud Strife says:

soweto is 7 lvls below investment grade. They should be written off the grid instead…

Brian Nobin says:

People were uprooted from their homes and areas and dumped in the townships of Phoenix and Chatsworth also. Yes, these are townships, too., with match-box houses. Why are the indigent people of these townships not being considered for relief as well? These were mass housing initiatives developed by the apartheid government. Be fair to the poor in every community.

Tanya Tzacos says:

Crapped or scrapped ?? Who's checking the spelling?

KillingItForYears says:

You can’t risk lending money or providing credit to “our people”.
They don’t have the discipline or ethical values to repay their debt.
