The Hillbrow Election, 1987

Read The Hillbrow Election, 1987 Storyline:

This is a first hand account of how the election in Hillbrow was fought in 1987, paying for the privilege with a criminal record.Politics, prostitutes, and the pleasures of challenges; my buddies and I were not into politics, but when the politicians decided to have a contest for our votes, we decided to join in the fun! Damn, you can meet some interesting people, and pretty girls, while canvassing for votes! We turned the General Election in Hillbrow in 1987 into a circus, despite of what the ‘educated’ people across the world wrote in their thesis on this happening, they got it wrong! The National Party hated us for canvassing the homosexual voters, even though the learned people called it a NP strategy years later, it was us, the non-politicians that wanted to prove a point; you can win an election by breaking the rules. Was it worth the criminal records that followed? It was fun!
