SA Politics Thread Part 10 : The GNU Has Crashed

You don't think ... if more jobs were created , then tranformation would not even be required because everyone who wants to work will have a job ?

ANC hasn't created jobs ... there are less jobs now than 20 years ago so they want to sell you transformation as a "fix" for their crap.

I'm not entirely sure there are less jobs than there were 20 years ago in the formal sector, but there are less jobs per capita than 20 years ago yes.

@Sideshow Bob, you see, Indians are next after the Whites. I see they are even starting earlier than I thought.

Typical though, okes can't keep to a predefined plan.

Get rid of witous first, then go after Indians... premature-genocide I tell you!

Investec says sluggish growth has cost SA R4.4trn

The inertia caused by power outages, crime, disintegrating infrastructure and foreign-policy missteps dragged growth down to an average of about 1% a year over the past 15 years, the report said.

South Africa’s economy is 37% smaller than it would have been had the country tracked its emerging-market peers and sustained annual growth of 4.5% since 2010, a report by Investec Wealth & Investment International said.

It calculated that matching those expansion rates would have lifted the country’s nominal gross domestic product to almost R12 trillion ($670 billion) last year, from R7.5 billion. The slow growth partly coincided with an era of endemic government corruption — known in South Africa as state capture — under former President Jacob Zuma, which his successor Cyril Ramaphosa estimates cost the economy at least R500 billion

Great stuff comrades.

@MalcomZ wants to fix that with a wealth tax taxing 10 rich people in the country.

We should resist on behalf of those 10 rich people. They are so helpless and we don't want them going to USA on refugee visa. Let us start revolution.

Oh wait - creamy layer would be BEE entrepreneurs, right? So, why are we concerned now ?

It's all those whites holding the country back, once they are gone and the land is seized you'll see the economy will grow 370%... Wait sorry there is a 0 in the wrong place

I know it shouldn't but the mind boggles at the entitlement of spending R2m and R900k on accommodation for 2 people on state visits.

Exactly, the higher the unemployment the more on grants and the more on grants shows how good the government is at spending money on grants.

I think that you should say that "there are more unemployed people now than 20 years ago".

I can check Stats SA, but I'm quite sure that there are more jobs and employed people in SA today than 20 years ago.

You do have to admire his tenacity though. I'm sure if we give him a typewriter and a few decades we will one day get a genius line
