[Excalibur]

"Just know that you are being mischievous if you say people must stop blaming apartheid and colonialism. Yes, we can't blame it all for everything but the problems we are now faced with are direct consequences of colonialism, its sister neo-colonialism and apartheid,” he said on Saturday.

The guys name sounds like a double ricochet.

And he's not wrong. The colonialists brought banks and a form of legal tender to South Africa. Before then items were either bartered or plundered.

And Mr Zuma used both of those evil western concepts to enrich himself, his family and his mates.

How could you have done this to us Jan?

It's excuses for uselessness. Stupids don't know they are stupid.

And he's not wrong at all, but of course the nuance of his message will be lost on most people i reckon.

Chief justice Mogoeng Mogoeng: 'Our problems are direct consequence of theft, corruption and greed'

We don't have leaders, we have feeders. A endless line of villains ready to enrich themselves at the cost of the country, and it's most valued resource, its' citizens. Do we have the best and brightest on earth, sometimes. Why do we allow ourselves and our fellow countrymen to be bullied, assaulted, raped and murdered.

Do we deserve to be treated like atms, our effort, time and value squandered, sold and soiled, now, and in the future? Never.

He is a poor judge, and would make a worse statesman.

Yes but Apartheid and Colonialism can't fix it either. You're blaming a ghost and not providing a solution.

All the successes too then Moegoe? I guess it is by design that you "geniuses" are better at undoing the successes than the problems.

I didn't get any nuances. Do you have a transcript of his speech?

More excuses why the corrupt government of today is failing miserably.

 

[SoldierMan]

Yeah ESKOM's woes are all due to apartheid/colonialism. To heck with those Boers for bringing electricity to SA!

Lol, woosh

So what you are saying is that you never read it either, which begs the question: Where exactly did you get these ''nuances" from, the ones that will be "lost on most people"?

I didn't need to read the speech to realize people on both sides of the equation would miss the nuance....

You can't not blame colonialism and apartheid... Just like you can't not blame the anc... The level of blame varies...

Getting nuances from speeches that you have never heard, you must be psychic. Unfortunately, I am not that gifted
