I wouldn't understand why anyone would compare Baic with VW or Mercedes, companies that have been here for decades.

Relax and give it time, Rome was never built in a day, allow the Chinese to cook.

You did?

The automakers that has been scamming us for years with overpriced yet mediocre cars were complaining that China does not build cars here or create employment, looking forward to what the excuse would be as soon as that door is closed.

Look, I am not trying to pick a fight here but you say one thing and then when a factual response is given you say something else.

Question still remains unanswered;

What has the Chinese given us vs their "mediocre" counterparts.

That is why it's called an investment,, at the right time it will yield results.

I even foresee in the not so distant future some of those moaning companies outsourcing the manufacturing to the Chinese.

Let us take a look at this for a moment. The plant is a failure, BAIC has never and will never have a strong enough foothold in South Africa. Reason being is their cars are not that great, so we have a new brand entering the market every 6 months. Same manufacturer, different "name".

This means that every financial year end we have to put more tax payer money into the pot to try keep afloat a sinking ship.

Are you able to provide examples of Chinese investment we have had a good return on? Where the investment created jobs and growth in the local economy?

I agree with the rightwing sentiment that replacing boer with black would have had all those people who say it's just a chant wetting their undies. The song may not mean kill the boer literally but it is a terrible thing to sing about anyone same as calling someone the k word.

100% - that song has no place in today's society.

Embarrassing honestly. The way he hops side to side is cringe on an extraordinary level. How does that have a place in todays South Africa? Or an SA we want for our kids?

This is what some of us warned against. By giving this chant unnecessary airtime you've now created a platform for Juju to act like a rebel... And he is going to milk it. If you ban it, he may even martyr himself.

Congratulations.
