Three reasons South Africa will fail.

Nope, that would be the 21 of Dec when we all die.

it happened already. Many times. On the same date. But, someone built a time machine. This reality is the one "created" by the time machine. On the 21st Dec, just before the pawpaw hits the fan, the time machine will engage, again. And it will all start again and no one will be the wiser, until the "next" 21 Dec 2012....

The end of the world was supposed to happen at 1000AD and again in 1914 and lots of times in between but we're all still here.
The year 2000 was predicted as the end of computer years but the Y2K hysteria was very good for hardware resellers.

There are too many gullible suckers, all desperately eager to swallow the pawpaw long before it approaches, much less hits, the fan.

You dont get what I was saying. I wasnt saying how "good" bantu education was, I was saying how TERRIBLE ANC education is.

Bantu education was everything you say it was - a complete disaster. Yet many people say it is still better than what your average modern ANC education, especially those afforded to rural black people. This is the tragedy - instead of education taking a flying leap forward, as it should have, it has stayed the same or got worse.

Maybe , just maybe education for everyone today is of lower standard than what the whites got under Apartheid...I grant you that because I am not close enough to know, but there is no way that Bantu education to those that got it was one percent of what everyone is able to get now...the sheer amount of people with genuine qualifications from reputable universities is one of the things that supports that.

The key to getting rid of the ANC in this country lies in education.
Its simple really. Once you educate the indigent youth, teach them about the internet, open up information to them and show them how the world works and what their beloved government is really doing, then you will create a generation that will eventually give the ANC its marching orders.

The textbook scandal demonstrates exactly the ANC's charter, keep the masses stupid so they keep voting...
