Time to stop waiting. I can also sit and wait for a job and wait for food and wait for an education.

we are also reaping the benefits of a lack of strong, visionary and uncompromising leadership."
He said 72 percent of the unemployed in the country were young people between 15 and 34 years of age.
Unemployed at the age of 15? no kidding...
They key word being "waiting" and not working.
While the fault lines of the apartheid economy remained largely intact, he also blamed colonialism, apartheid and a "lack of strong, visionary and uncompromising leadership" post-1994 for the situation the country found itself in.
"Today comrades I want to say the situation we find ourselves in arises not only because we are still smarting from the effects of 300 years of colonialism and 40 years of apartheid. Increasingly, all the more so after 16 years, we are also reaping the benefits of a lack of strong, visionary and uncompromising leadership."
A culture of crass materialism had invaded the public sector and even "our revolutionary movement".
"Resources intended for the public good are being diverted to individuals' pockets so that the poor may be forever trapped in inequalities, poverty and unemployment. Crass materialism and greed threaten the foundations of our democracy," he said. - Sapa
We might not like what he is saying, but let's face it - the man speaks the truth.
"Our Revolutionary Movement" obviously refers to the ANC and the blatant materialism and self-serving attitude of its members. I fully agree with him. Vavi is increasingly speaking out against the ANC and I foresee their alliance crumbling in the not too distant future (or at least I hope it does).

Yes and..? Did I say that he was above reproach and innocent? No. Did I say that he has never done anything wrong? No. Did I say that some what he said in this article is true? Yes.
I'm not picking on you. I'm just pointing out that his hands are not clean.
