If you can remember well in 2008 all foreigners saw their lives being disrupted by violent attacks on them. They were beaten, they were killed and they were forced to flee their homes where they stayed.
Reason: They should go back home.
The same home that they fled from to seek the safety net of Mzantsi, the African Promised Land - the land of opportunities.
What hit me very hard was the reasoning of those that were attacking and killing, "they take our jobs, our wives and our houses."
It became very clear to me that the people of this beautiful country are suffering from a very dangerous syndrome called "entitlement".
When it suits them they refer to the past and demand compensation for a certain thing. BEE comes in mind when I mention that. While on the other hand they forget that the very people that they killed and disoriented are the same people that sheltered our fathers in their own homes not so long ago.
Our fathers were never killed in Angola; they were never killed in Zimbabwe and certainly never killed in Mozambique, Botswana and Zambia. They all came back, and ironically some of them came back with wives. Believe me; no one ever threw a single stone at them for taking their women.
Entitlement is the only reason why Julius Malema and the ANCYL are calling for Nationalization of mines and land grabbing without compensation. These people never learn, I mean we don't have to go very far to see the consequences of chasing away skilled people out of the country.
They are calling for a senseless phenomenon where, investors and other economic drivers will pull their resources and go. These are the people that this country depends on for the retaining of its economic power and yet people who only know Politics and nothing about Economics and business are pushing for something that they don't even have a plan for.
Suppose the nationalisation takes place, what plans do Julius and the ANCYL have in order to sustain the economic position of this country?
How will they entice investors to come and plant their resources here?
What is their plan for the people of this country? Will they also have a share in the country's wealth or will it go to the BEE people? I mean really.
Lastly, the corruption in this nation is so rife that anyone can see that. Oh no, not only the analysts can see it SACP Gauteng, we the ordinary people can. I mean what do you call a spade?
"South African Communist Party (SACP) in Gauteng lodged a memorandum of demands at the broadcaster, insisting, among other things, that "the SABC must play a role of being a primary platform for conveying positive messages from the government"
So what about the things that really matter? I mean why should the SABC be subjected to demands of the SACP or any other party.
My question is this: Isn't News news no matter what it makes the party being reported look? Positive news or negative news - How do you differentiate between the two, who gives you the right to tell us what we should hear and read about how the government is spending our hard earned tax?
"As Mr Nzimande (whose wife worked at the corporation until last year) is also a strong supporter of President Jacob Zuma, it may appear this memorandum by the SACP in Gauteng is intended to put pressure on the corporation to fall into line behind Mr Zuma"
Ultimately we see why the SACP has made this demand, Its all clear from the start.
These people make me really nervous because I know that the future of our children depends on how they make decisions for this country. True, what is decided today will by all means affect our children in the long run e.g. The Apartheid system (Need I say more?)
To conclude for today,
Prejudice still lives in our people today and certainly will be there tomorrow.
Social prejudice
Political prejudice
Racial slurs fly everyday
And yet, we want to be seen as a united front, for me this country has not been in proper hands for a very long time. All I see are people close to public office bearers getting richer and the masses of this country sinking into deeper poverty hence this violence and crime. Unemployment among the youth being the highest unemployment rate in Africa (or so I think) yet we have bodies such as the NYDA, SETA, and all other broken promises that have been put in front of us.
So Mzantsi, country of opportunities - What the hell are you talking about when you say together we can do more?
More corruption,
More rapes,
More murders
I ask... and I know I will never get any answers, because that is classified information
