SA: Collapsing into a Failed State

Here is another report I received from a friend which does not make for very happy reading, about the state of South Africa.He said 'In 1994, many believed it would take only 20 years for the "young democracy" to crash in chaos. It seems we may actually be ahead of schedule. For those who wlil see and listen, the signs are all too horribly evident all around. Now a more careful analysis confirms what we see and hear for ourselves.Its quite a long read but its enlightening

This is just part of it.

'What is also interesting and scary (and this explains why Julius Malema of the ANC Youth League is on his communist/nationalisation moves - to seize all the mines); is how the Black Population has gone backwards in terms of employment, health, education, etc. In short, most of
black society has imploded to crisis levels and that society is now dependent on incredibly large handouts from just a few million tax payers. It is the collapse of black society which is now bringing blacks to the madness of wanting to seize mines and farms and to implement more socialism on a massive scale... and Julius Malema might just be the voice of the impending madness. My own viewpoint is that Malema might well be the President of this country within 10 years... and he will be our Mugabe'

Why did it take as so long to hand over to the blacks? I'm sure most will agree that with our experience of Black’s incompetence and their inability to properly govern the states to the North, there was nothing that would assure us that this inability would not continue in South Africa once the blacks took over. Only when the international community withdrew all support from the White Government did it succumb in dramatic fashion and with dire consequences for most whites and many blacks. We handed over a well run country to the ANC government in good faith ,only to have it intent on revenge by changing history.Removing many of the White government servants and instituting BEE and AA, and changing place names willy-nilly, which is the most impressive thing that they have done to date.

It is admirable that so many whites have thrown in their support for New South Africa, but it seems for a lost cause. South Africa is living on the capital of the past, created with white brains and energy. Blacks helped with their labour,sure,but this was not necessary as Australia and New Zealand have shown. South Africa actually imported labour from India because of the reluctance of the Blacks to work in the cane fields. This capital created by whites will eventually run out.There is still nothing that assures us that this inability will not continue.Just look at the Manto fiasco.

However I don’t agree that the end is nigh, but it is nigh for most whites if they don’t embrace black culture and attitudes. For Blacks there will be a slow decline, but they will live with it as they are used to it. Their ways are not our ways.

The decline will be very slow as multinational companies will keep it afloat for the most part. Crime though, soon got out of hand after 1994 because the infrastructure was destroyed with the replacement of so many White and experienced police with untrained and uneducated Blacks. The decline in other sections is not so readily noticeable. The roads, railways, electricity supply, water supply refuse removal sewerage removal and health services, and other service delivery will slowly go down the tubes over time. Like the frog put into cold water and gradually brought to the boil. Not noticed until the frog was cooked.Not that the frog ever noticed.

LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN

Email from a friend.

We need to circulate this to show the selfishness of employees of

ESKOM. The workers on site received free food parcels, everyday. Why???????
There was an agreement with ESKOM that, after one year, they would be
receiving hot meals instead of food parcels.
MPS-JV employees are now upset at not receiving hot meals, as promised,
and yesterday they protested by throwing their food parcels at management!
Now you might get an idea why Eskom needed a couple of billions.........
Daily, thousands of employees at Medupi receive free food, on top of
free accommodation, transport, etc....... And considering 900 000
people lost their jobs last year, and don't know where their next meal is coming
from.

Now you have a clear picture of the 35% increase by Eskom for the next 3years.

The United States Elections.

Is just me or what? There has been a massive vote against the Democrats. What is the reason? Many say that Obama has not lived up to expectations and the economy is the cause. Is it just me that thinks that they are voting against Obama because he is an African American and not a real American or White.Not a single article have I found that states they have voted against him because of his race.Are American conservatives closet racists or is that all behind them?

I wrote this eighteen months ago snd I believe I am right about Obama

I was convinced Obama would fail, first in the run up to the elections and finally in the election itself. I had this preconceived idea that an African American could not possibly make it to the top. People everywhere seemed to go ga-ga over him an I just couldn't understand it. How could I be so wrong. Having lived in Africa for most of my life I was programmed to believe that no Black could possible succeed at anything except sport, certainly not being President of the United States. I wrote in the comments on a blog that if they elected Obama, far from promoting Black Americans it might in the end do them more harm. America is still very divided about the Presidency. If you read the Republican comments he can do nothing right but for the liberals he is their pop idol.

He left no paper trail. Nothing written by him at University has ever been found which leads me to believe that his path to the presidency was long in the planning and was some sort of conspiracy where many worked to hide his past leaving a blank slate.

So if there were people who meticulously planned his journey to the White House, using his African American heritage as a draw card and at the same time believing that in the end they would be able to use him as a puppet, they have succeeded to a point. But they may now lose control of him and he will be able to mess up all on his own. Still too soon to tell,but I hate being wrong.

You see,there are some things that he has done right, like support for stem cell research but such things were necessary and you didn't have to be a great leader to push them along, so there is more to him losing support of the Dems. than meets the eye.
