How to make South Africa prosperous?

Yes, you right. It is most definitely an international problem.

Staying positive is not easy, but treating everyone that comes across your path with respect, is very easy.
One thing that I have learnt is that attitude affects outcomes. It is not what you say to people, but how you say it.
People will forget what you have said, but they will always remember the way you made them feel.

Very well said. And this is how positivity is spread!! Thank you Blurock.

We running out of choices and it would seem Ramaphosa is the only one who can control the masses.

Why vote for the same rot to continue? It is every citizen's moral duty to always vote politicians OUT of power, not IN to power.
A political party is not a club that you belong to for life. "I vote XYZ because my father voted XYZ". What idiotic argument!
Most South Africans are not able to debate around politics and do not have a clue about democracy, but then again, democracy is maybe not the right political system for our country?

The forrest was declining and getting smaller. However, the trees still voted for the axe.
Because its handle was made of wood, they regarded it as one of them.

Tired of politicians ? Don't vote for them ... simple.

Purple cow. Google. Enough said.

The issue is that it is always the same old stupid people and the same old stupid problems...

To make South Africa great again, we will require a new government with a new mindset and a major change in our labour laws.
Where do jobs come from? From employers of course.
So how do we entice investors and entrepreneurs to start new ventures? Not by demonizing a sector of society that provides all-important jobs. The time has come to revisit our labour laws so that we can collectively create h for all. https://www.biznews.com/thought-lead...hina-economics

"Again" ??? It was never "Great" for all races.

Agreed, there has always been exploitation or oppression of some groups in South Africa. Many wars have been fought ever since its history had been recorded.
However, there was a time when the country prospered, everyone had a job, the country had a high growth rate and a strong currency.
There was relative peace. Politically it was still a shambles, but economically there was hardly a better place to be.
What is the use of Uhuru if your children goes to bed on an empty stomach?

Oh nonsense. There was never a time when everybody prospered. "Relative peace" was at the hand of police and brutal pass laws. Yes of course a small part of the population prospered but it all came to an end when the world decided that SA could not continue along the same path as Israel. Come on, we can't rewrite history - the one group makes out as if it was wonderful and the other group makes out as if it was absolutely terrible. To sort of quote the orange idiot "There were good and bad people on both sides" I understand what the NP was trying to do at the time and I understand why it failed.

The only given in this country is that it will return to its roots...we can either figure ways to prosper whilst riding that taxi, bitch n moan about it or hit the road. The problem today is that the entire world is in the same boat - there is no green grass elsewhere - all the grass is covered in dead bodies, unemployment and face masks...

There is a difference between political freedom and financial prosperity. In both cases there is exploitation of minorities either for political power or financial gain. That is happening all over the world to a greater or lesser extent. Prosperity is when a country has a strong balance of payment, strong growth and its citizens are relatively happy. One can still be prosperous and flourish without agreeing with or being happy with the rulers of your country. In our case both our financial and political prosperity have been curbed.

as in any country, everything depends on these politicians, and in general on people, such and the result will be
