Corruption in Africa

[Alan]

This is like discussing which brand of cyanide kills the best.
Just lock the damn criminals up, do whatever it takes, catch em, recover the cash and lock em up.

One of the biggest victories the criminal mind achieved was making entrapment illegal, it's time to get rid of that useless set of laws.

But their human rights. These people have rights damit

In this country like many others the people elected the corrupt into power in the first place

Fools vote for fools... I am going to blame Apartheid here and say if the black population got a proper education, we wouldn't have the problems we do now with people not having the thought process to even muster the reasoning that it's the ANC that's carrying issues.

Hmmm, I think human rights are subjective to start with, so why not subject the abusers of these rights to prison?!

You mean in the same way I bribe the cashier at Spar with R15 to give me two litres of milk?

No.

Exactly, ANC is in power because of what happened in the Apartheid era, the public does not want to vote for someone that betrayed their forefathers etc etc. As I said, these are the consequences of the past actions the racist regime left and we the youth are paying for it. f***.

Peeps
IFyou think you got it bad here in SA have a look at the rest of Africa

Our problems seem to have their counterpart in most of the rest of AFRICA

Learning about them can be quite educational.

The thrust is trying to prevent SA descending into the same squalor and poverty as the rest of Africa. It is a losing battle.

It will be a losing battle if people keep bitching and moaning without any actions coming from it.

Anyways, what happened to OP? I was having fun bitching at him.

Except that most Western politicians go to jail or step down in disgrace when caught, our politicians just keep riding that fat slimy gravy train.

Even when they go to jail, it's a get out of free jail card if you're in bed with Zuma.

Is it really most or simply those unfortunate enough not to have sufficient influence to get away with their crimes?

Looking at the Corruption Index map (http://www.transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/2010/results) the upper left quadrant looks way better than the rest of the world (US, Canada, Western Europe and Scandinavia). Wonder why? Different standards?
