    Where to from here?

    I started to panic when the rand dropped from twelve to the dollar to thirteen. The predictions are that we are heading for twenty rand to the dollar and in my simple mind what this means is that everything I have ever worked for has just halved in value. Where to next? What can I do to fix something I have no control over?

      It is not going to happen. The ANC of yesterday, has already fallen. The question is what is going to fill that void? Zuma is no longer relevant.

        Really ? I wish I could believe that ! As long as he is President and affects the Rand and the economy with his kak decisions, he is totally relevant.

          The economy is far, far bigger than Zuma. This is what you should be worrying you. And the question each of us want to start asking is what we can do before the opportunity is lost.

            Totally correct, but as long as zuma is president, the economy remains very fickle and the rand plummates every time he farts in a wrong direction !!!

            Im interested to know what you think we should maybe do ?

              I have a problem with the term "we". I find myself getting dragged into situations and to places where I don't belong. This despite doing everything I can to fit in. At the end of the day, all we can do is to make decisions that in our own best interests. For me that is my family and acknowledging the fact that my boys have no future in this country. And it wasn't Zuma who tipped me over the edge. It was our collective response to the debacle in Limpopo. And Julius Malema who actually rang that bell. Zuma is irrelevant. He is not the problem. We are.

                You are contradicting yourself here ...... I don't agree with you .............but anyway good luck.

                PS Maybe if you think "we are the problem" - and we can't do anything about it - you should leave the country.

                  wee Julius would also like me to leave. And with the two of you ganging up on me, I might just have to. What do you not agree with?

                    I am confused by this post. Did you work all your life just to sell everything and convert that value to dollars?

                      I am also confused. I suspect most people are confused. Where did it all go wrong? Food prices are going up. The price for most things is going up. Crime and violence is increasing. Our society is more polarised now than it ever was. Who cannot claim to be confused?

                          You are clearly not good at conversation!

                            Conversing, conserving or converting? Who is not confused? Tell me you can make make sense of the fact that a dynamic vibrant economy is headed for junk status. Comfortable with this?

                              An economy that is being sabotaged by the anc ineptitude's.
                              No confusion here.
                              Just because its not comfortable doesn't make it confusing!
                              The cost of living hasn't affected its popularity.
