Uuuhhhhmmmmmmm......

Back to Elon musk and Ramaphosa

Considering the largest single optical telescope in the southern hemisphere is in SA and the space race is big bucks...

Imagine bringing some of that space race to SA....

Who knows.

Maybe the GNU knows how to bring back not only those that passed away fighting for democracy and equality,buried in other countries but,those that can create jobs and grow the environment for future generations of this fought for and died for,democracy.


The sky is the limit .

I wonder if this shall be the case.

About what must happen in Kzn

Quoting Fikile Mbalula

"....all the regions in kzn are corrupt, the ANC have got no chance to come back.
We are fighting a Ferrari there with a Conquest. You know. We need to match a Ferrari with a flying machine, you know....that moves faster in seconds to surpass what is happening there...."


True colourful Fikile interpretation of a real tragedy ...and as much as his interpretation made me smile wryly, I always wonder what did kzn do to deserve the wrath , blow after blow if not political corruption then nature challenging.

The gods or is it forefathers are not happy?

Is it not in the hands of the people or, are the people too far gone to care...

RB.

I think there is a relatively big chance that the ANC wont survive until 2029. The factions within the ANC will destroy each other.

Dont think we are far away from basically two parties (all those who supports the constitution on one side and those who will support the MK).

If the latter has the strongest support, we are done. Zimbabwe will look like a rich country when compared to us...

A long time ago...before elections, I spoke about " good citizenship".

It is more than just placing an 'x' on a ballot sheet.

It begins among us as citizens. Taking responsibility for our role in society.

A difficult ask when very few understand what citizenship means considering , even with the dawn of 'democracy ' , one has not been made to feel like a citizen of SA under one flag and one constitution.

Looks like the red berets have a new enemy and the GNU shall be spared their wrath .....for now.

Politics in SA...a fight for settling personal gripes and grudges instead of leading a country into hopeful reparation of a failing economy and a society struggling to make ends meet.

The anc are seriously wooing Northern Cape for the upcoming 2026 municipal receptions....

them GNU DA brothers better be careful the rug doesn't get pulled out from under their feet!!!

RB.

You know when you give someone something that they think they entitled to?

When the understanding of its worth is the sum of the entitlement as opposed to its true value in hard work, earning and responsibility.


30 years plus into democracy, the anc has managed to destroy every asset that they inherited for the good of all, ALL the people of SA.
Medical facilities.
Educational facilities.
Rail, road and air transport.
Power.
Water and sanitation .
Safety and security .

Infrastructure.
Arts and culture.
Tourism.

Socialization among all citizens.

Every inherited "silver spoon in the mouth " was shamed, guilted, labelled with hatred....and allowed to denigrate South Africa into a pitiful jail where the criminal has more right than the upstanding citizen....and the better that could have been built?... annihilated intentionally.

Where the citizen believes a skin colour is more important than the value of self and taking responsibility for the disgusting state of affairs and living standards as ones OWN doing and holding the elected anc to account for false promises made yet, enriching themselves and their family and friends....IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.

Land expropriation act, just like the NHI bill and the BELLA bill...

Ask the standard citizen on the street if they have ANY idea what comes with any one of those. IT COMES WITH / AT A COST AND HUGE RESPONSIBILITY.

THAT should be shamed, THAT should be laid at the doorstep of anc before one begins to address issues of equality and the right to a better life.


I sneer in contempt at misinformation, lack of full disclosure using past pains to promulgate further debilitating failure.

@RB. Only you will be able to reconcile what you say above with your comments on the ethnicity thread....

So basically u claiming immunity to what I have written,....and missed the point of socialization irrespective of your skin colour.

Dare I imagine you white?...and thought my above post was aimed at a specific citizen rather than ALL citizens of SA?

U did understand, rather my new favourite word COMPREHEND my comments on the ethnicity thread?

It is obvious you didn't and have mirrored your PERSONAL interpretation and self in my post.


READ AGAIN.....without the ethnicity spin YOU have put to it.

The upcoming budget preview on 19th Feb.



How many people know what fiscal deficit means.

How many people know what inflation is.

The relationship between fiscal deficit and inflation


Tax.

How many understand the purpose of tax, the power of tax and the benefits to country and citizen.



Will the majority of citizens even listen, nevermind understand or, shall it be financial mish mash and jargon landing on deaf ears simply because the education is lacking.

Back to basics and education empowering all and sundry and affording critical decisions made for oneself and the future generation and leaders to come.

Money...it does make the world go round.

Not all of us are economists and jabbering about percentages means nothing in a person's life if they do not understand that they could change the landscape just enough by holding the government accountable for a failed economy .
