'The mass of our people' don't want electoral reform

Bah.

Netshitenzhe is saying that because the issue didn't emerge at the government-sponsored ANC rallies - known in the jargon as 'imbizos' of 'the masses of the people' - the cabinet doesn't owe the country a consideration of representative politics.

Why does the Electoral Task Team have a majority in favour of representative democracy? Why would the Sunday Times be writing articles in hope of it? From whom, then, is John Perlman taking enthusiastic calls on SAfm if 'the masses of our people' are not interested in representative democracy? Do we live in a Kafka novel or something?
