What we are seeing is that when intellectual capacity is lacking, coercion takes over. ANC 101.
South Africa’s biggest forum. Discuss, discover, and connect with thousands of members.
It is one thing to understand that but is is another thing to do something about it. Learn them to take responsibility for their own lives will actually help them. I can promise you they will feel much better about themselves once they have done that.
Damn radicals !
Perhaps it might be an idea to point out to them the colour of South Africas richest person.
Easier said than done
Easier said than done as a previously advantaged person commenting from your armchair at your pc.
There is no doubt apartheid will still have an effect, no one is denying that. What we are saying is the government is wasting billions of rands on BS like cars, arms, tenders. That could be used towards education and helping the poor with housing, toilets etc.
You sad the black folk in this country are better off than they were under the old government and while that is very true for a minority the majority are no better off. I think they may be worse off with 5 million zims taking their jobs.
Once again as i have pointed out they will vote ANC every election even though they live very poor conditions, people keeping blaming apartheid which puzzles me. It has been 2 decades and if anything the poor are still getting Fed badly. Their government is doing sweet F all to help and the only answer is apartheid is the reason we are corrupt.
Go look all over africa, go look at poverty and come tell me why majority of africa live in poverty? Corrupt government. So don't come with the BS that the poor are better off under the black government. Just because they are free to move and do what they like does not mean they are not dirt poor with no real chance of making anything for themselves or their children. If anything it must be harder for them to see their own kind treat them as badly as the racist white man did.
Capd read this, it will enlighten you a bit i think, very good article on the topic and hits the nail on the head.

You are fighting a good fight i reckon but your thinking tends to lean towards blame and not cause.
Nobody said it will be easy but it does not mean we should not try and just give them free handouts which at the end of the day helps nobody.

Are you saying that violence and destruction of property is acceptable because of apartheid? That they are excused from ever wanting to improve their lives because of apartheid?
They didn't say it would be easier but the fact is that it is much harder being black and previously disadvantaged.

And with their attitudes and downright laziness, they will remain disadvantaged perpetual strugglers indefinitely, like most of Africa, if not all of Africa.
Now let me continue relaxing in my armchair as a previously and currently advantaged person, which took hard work, and continues to take hard work to maintain.
When this country goes down the zim route will you still blame the white government for it?
You totaly missing the point.
We must teach them to take responsibility for their own lives.
How will that help?
You/your family are lucky to have not limited to being maids, gardeners, manual labourers and KFC employees, and lucky that the door was unjustly opened for you to higher paying jobs and qualifications.
Would the world have been your oyster if they weren't as lucky?
