Why can't we call it what it is here in SA? The news should be calling this by the proper definition: Which is attacking / sabotage to the country's infrastructure, making it terrorism.

Surely there must be a way to push the conversation to what it has become, terrorism. (And hopefully the news outlets will catch onto that as well)

It would be politically inexpedient to call them terrorists as they are good friends with the intrepid leaders in current power.

Who needs to call it that? News24? Daily Maverick? eNCA? ActionSA? DA?

Because in South Africa, terrorist means Freedom Fighter.

We even have a day where we celebrate a terrorist for his terrorism - 18 July.

At the company I work, you can buy jackets with this terrorist face on.

Also, we, the ones that care about our country and our children's future are in the vast minority.
The masses have all the power, and looking at the past 28 years, they cannot give a flying rat's ass about anything other than drinking, dancing, humping, toitoi, shouting "racist!" at whites and so on and on!

This country was doomed the very day the terrorist took over back in 1990 and whoever warned that we will end up where we are today were called racists who are longing back to Apartheid and who wants to discriminate against black people!

The best part is black people waking up to this mess asking "How did we get here?!". Meanwhile their entire family have been voting ANC religiously for 28 years....

This is what happens when you allow lawlessness and there are no consequences for any action. The rule of the mob becomes the accepted norm and you have decay and decline.
At least when the history of the fall of SA is recorded in a history book, obviously not by someone coming out of the SA education system, everyone on here should get a special mention.

Old BB thread:

The Future of South Africa?

Dr Marc Faber, an ex South African and a leading investment guru, tells it how it is....... (this was published in a UK paper). Let us hope he has it wrong - it’s pretty heavy .. South Africa – The Future I expect, like me, you are aware that there has never been a prosperous black-led...

KAK KOM! Mark my words.

Things are not going to improve. They cannot, there is no reason to believe our slow slide into a failed state can be reversed with our current regime, and there is no prospect whatsoever of there being a change to governance based on meritocracy. Anyone who believes otherwise, or that the ANC can mend their ways, is living in LaLa land. They do not have the intellect.
