SA is most definitely reached a state of anarchy:
1. Anarchy in the civil justice system;
2. Anarchy in the criminal justice system;
3. Lawyers who blatantly coach their clients to lie in court;
4. SAPS personnel who could not care less about their performance. Drunk/asleep on duty - disinterested.
5. General disregard for the rule-of-law in so many areas.
6. Total disregard for member/partners in business. Even 90% ownership would not save some situations. He who controls the money is king!
7. Prolonged mining strikes aimed at forcing mine owners to leave. Allowing 'legal' nationalisation by the government. (Watch this space).

People know that the system is broken & broken, so purposefully game what is left, for their own benefit.

The economy seems to be in somewhat of a free-fall over the past few months - especially in KZN. Industry seems to be paralised in many areas. Mike Schlusser(sp?) - economist - sees the SA economy as having stagnated for at least the past 18-months.
