    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?

    In my opinion, I think we should have hope and be positive. There is just too much negativity and grimness around us. Maybe tomorrow when we wake up, we should try waking up with a smile and positive attitude. Surely that would have ripple effect.

    I think that a good idea, IF hope and positivity inspires action to change... In most cases I think however people dont go past that, they stay on that it limits them and things never change.
    Major social and political shifts from the people throughout history have always come from discontent, anger. When people are tired of hoping and know action is needed...when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of change, hope is what allows them to continue with their actions when it seems they are failing to persevere against impossible odds.
    SO we have anger and discontent I know...
    Burning down things and blaming the other race for problems, extended court arguments and investigations which in years dont amount to anything... Those are our current actions.
    In the many years this has been happening what has really changed for the better? Nothing yet its the continued tactic.
    They say the definition of stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result...

    We need education.

    Two thoughts:
    I took 20+ years to break the SA education system, dumb it down, on purpose, as per the Russian manual on how to keep control of the population.

    To fix it will take another generation and each year it is delayed, is another year added to the 20.


    Current Situation:
    We don't have the money nor the political willpower to fix it as those in charge have larger problems to focus on like the continuing fallout of State Capture, ANC factions etc.

    We need leaders that can fiercely go where no-one has gone before.

    Maybe Cyril pulls through, still too early ito the factions. SA will hop along till Cyril gets the rot cut out, sorted for the next SA president of sterling character.

    .... or something is going to snap somewhere.


    What irks the hell out of me.
    Not for one moment do I believe the likes of Cyril and every other person of "power" in Government, the banks, the Reserve Bank, large media outlets, did not know of the rot.

    KPMG knew. Monjane knew. Zuma knew. Mbeki knew ... list goes on and on.

    "They" knew.

    Today everyone is shocked when the likes of the Daily Maverick gets "new" evidence and publishes it.

    Some news outlets published blatantly false information, having had to give back awards and having to retract the reports, not properly investigated ... ja right.

    "They" all know in which cupboards the skeletons are kept.
    Problem is, to open all the doors will result in thousands and thousands of criminal prosecutions, if taken from the top to the bottom.


    And it is not only SA, it is an international problem.

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

    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
