Our economy?

not to sound too negative, but it could have a positive impact on the country if all the "powerful" people emigrated, like a lot of engineers who now live in other countries. And I mean this on a "shock" basis, where the country could be shocked to get it's act together if it sees all it's educated people leaving the country for better opportunities

I personally can't see any positives fot the country in skills leaving South Africa and I doubt our govt. gives a damn since they've done little to re-introduce the much needed skills in the public sector so I'm guessing why would they bother with the private sector skills losses....Besides this skill drain has been going on for years but since so many just leave instead of emigrating the govt. sits back thinking everything is as it was.....while all about them fails!
