I don't understand why privileged white men complain about corruption. Corruption and nepotism have destroyed the education system... Which is great for your kids because they get a decent private education and public school kids simply cannot compete. High skilled high paid jobs guaranteed. Electricity supply is a problem, just buy a generator! Our electricity is still much cheaper then europe, even after buying the gene.

Let's focus on sharing the love across the rainbow. Especially those coloured chicks with tight asses, instead of whining about corruption.

Actually I have to say you are wrong on many fronts there.... With the collapse of the education system the quality of all graduates is tarred by the same brush. As for getting the high paid jobs, with BEE this is no longer true at all and considering the BEE requirements wouldn't South Africa be better with better educated students from all races... your analysis is just far too simplistic and has no merit.

As for corruption, think about it carefully... if the Government takes money that can be used for service delivery, it means there are obviously subsequent protests which effect the whole economy... so wouldn't that effect us privileged white man as you put it when the whole economy takes a hit ???

I can also state with complete certainly that my Electric and Gas in Spain is fact cheaper then SA by a long shot, for the price of powering one house in SA I power and heat both my apartments in Barcelona and still have change left over.

Seems to me, you have a rather large chip on your shoulder about perceived white supremacy when this is not in fact the case... So much for sharing the love.

There is a culture of mediocrity which is very apparent in all spheres of South African society.

We are a lazy bunch.
We have a thousand and one excuses for having messed up.

And there is no accountability for the high trust placed by the citizenry on extremely well remunerated public officials.

Any criticism of their mediocre performance is silenced by the well worn catch phrase:
So what are YOU doing about it?

Im supporting Herman Mashaba as the DA Jhb mayoral candidate! Great choice. Lets ensure slowly but surely that we get rid of the ANC control in Gauteng.

Ben layden has every right to call himself "lazy". As 4 the rest of us? Don't call us lazy bruh;

@deamonza: I definitely have a chip on my shoulder, I doubt it is about white supremacy though. I appreciate your criticism. I am not sure that we can take the cost of utilities in one home from one city, Barcelona, and extrapolate that for the rest of Europe.
My comment is not for the benefit of South Africa, it is a narrow (and selfish) view from the perspective of rich white people. What you say is true that South Africa will suffer but my point is that in any population some will succeed more than others and the ones that will succeed in SA is the rich because they can afford to send their children to private schools and good universities. The collapse of quality in the national education system broadens the gap between the rich and the poor, to the benefit of rich children. There is a serious skills shortage in SA which ensures good jobs go to well educated children, irrespective of race. BEE does not stop educated whites from getting jobs, it just makes job seeking a little more frustrating. Thus goverment corruption in education benefits the rich and their children. The ANC may claim to be popularist but look at the leaders of the ANC and they are all elitist, to our benefit. That is why I do not whine about the ANC, they are doing a better job than the Nats at making whites rich.

Quoth this lily livered Liberal:
"There is a serious skills shortage in SA which ensures good jobs go to well educated children, irrespective of race."

Indeed?
Pull t'other one!
The SA workforce is being ruthlessly "transformed".

I agree Ben bhai.

@ben...

If I had written your post I would have chosen the word "apathetic" instead of "lazy". But that's just my humble perception of society.
