What have we done? Why is our country in such a mess?

Why are our children more illiterate than ever before? Why do our children have to be schooled under trees? Why are our children giving up hope for the future and dropping out of school and tertiary institutions?

Why are people still living in shacks without access to clean water? Why are only four out of every ten people in South Africa employed?

How is it possible that a once proud army, the best in Africa and one of the best in the world, could be reduced to an undisciplined, dirty, incompetent rabble?

Why is there a substitute for every function of the state; transport, telephones, mail or courier services, security, you name it and there is a private (more competent) alternative.

Why is there so much corruption in government? Why are we killing our own people?

Is it because we have entrusted our future to an incompetent bunch of baffoons who can think only of power and their own enrichment? What are we as South Africans going to do about it?
