I have to say I'm pretty amazed by all the responses. Here are some that came back via email as a result of my mass mail to members about this thread:
the only way for us to address our conserns are . ( dismiss all employees except the minimum needed to make enough money for your self and Family. Stop paying taxes ( you will not get any support from the DA , FF or any political party because it will effect their own pockets)
Only employ Family , friends .
Do not employ anybody belonging to Trade Union and pay total cost to company . This should include sickleave , family responsable leave and leave pay , short term contract. let every one go at end of contract.
Do asmuch as possible self.
I agree your are totally correct we will try our best to contribute to that .As soon as possible.
This country is rotten to the bone the anc run the country on a buddy system
May I suggest a "Thread" accumulating Factual information on how new legislation and "Rules of Business" is impacting on the Cost of Doing Business with the State at all levels, National, Provincial and Municipal.
Hi Dave,
Good to hear from you and sorry the circumstances are not better.
Yes, some of my heart remains in SA but I am glad I live in Canada.
Destructive strikes are common all over the world and are happening with increased frequency.
Political unrest is gaining momentum and we have no acceptable ready fix.
The world is not a happy place.
Unfortunately, the only solution is not acceptable--love thy neighbour.
We don’t know how to do it.
If you can find a solution please let me know
Hi Dave!
Yes it has been quite a while since I visited the forum. Truth be told, I've wondered if my input is of any value since there seem to be a lot of strong views from several TFSA members and quite frankly, I've wondered whether some of the people behind some of these views are not just displaying bravado. I don't wish to get into an online confrontation with some of them so I have quietly faded away. But I would like to continue receiving emails from TFSA and will make an effort to visit from time to time.
Regarding the strikes, quite simply, it starts from the top; poor leadership in Jacob Zuma. His cohorts have shielded him in the past from prosecution, WaterKloof/Gupta, arms deal, Nkandla etc etc and he dare not take a firm stand on anything because of his debt of loyalty to them and fear of losing their support. So until the leadership changes to a squeaky clean President who appoints ministers of integrity, the situation will not change. The black man usually avoids confrontation preferring rather to 'sweep it under the carpet'. So I cannot offer any other suggestion or way out of the mess we are in. Only a strong President without fear or favour will change the situation. Are there any Black leaders in the whole of Africa who are like that? The only possible exception could be the President of Namibia (Sam
Nujoma?) (I can't remember his name). For the rest of them, they are all rotten to the core.
We really have to do something about the economic conditions in south Africa firstly we need to identify those capitalist who are benefiting out of the whole and also identify whether those being used are aware of who earns lot at the end and then make our people aware of those..capitalist and imperialists conquering our country bit by bit im..telling u we r watching and we r going to deal with those counter revolutionary forces
