So you still think it's worth mentioning, like if I casually mentioned that I wonder if a killed farmer was a good or bad farmer, then proceed to give them the benefit of doubt?

As @R13 said, it was totally unnecessary, regardless that you ended up giving them the benefit of doubt.

That's your opinions and you are both welcome to them. In my opinion it is very much relevant to mention it.

@TheChamp Tell us about "We will not be bullied"? 145 businesses were liquidated in September alone:

New data has revealed a sharp and concerning acceleration in the number of South African businesses being forced to close their doors, with economists warning the official figures may only be part of a broader picture of corporate distress.

Statistics South Africa reported that 145 businesses were liquidated in September alone, bringing the total number of formal business closures for the first nine months of the year to 1,180. This represents a significant 23.9% increase compared to the same period last year. The key drivers cited are a toxic combination of unpaid debt, fragile cash flows, and relentlessly rising operational costs

Tell us this, tell us that, what's the point of all the high IQ if you are not going to use it?

But farmers are generally held in bad light, just like the police, some of them do very bad things like running people over with their Hiluxes or feeding them to pigs.

The day farmers are having their own commission for running a gangster paradise like the police chiefs currently are going through is the day you might get to compare the two.

Dude will literally spout any kind of nonsense to validate his nonsensical viewpoints. Besides, pretty rich hearing about people 'in a bad light' when he tongues the most disgusting politicians up the balloon knot on the daily.

It's natural that would happen with population growth. But there's a lot more who are worse off. The employment rate speaks directly to this.

What a lot of people here fail to appreciate is how the system managed to keep people in the homelands out of employment stats. This is underpinned by influx to the cities by rural dwellers in the early 90s that led to sprawling illegal settlements in the outskirts of the townships.

If it was necessary initially, there should have been a sunset clause. Because it's not needed now, and at some point it started doing more harm than good...

I don't necessarily disagree with a sunset clause. However, I believe large business and government failed to properly implement and monitor laws that sought to even out economic participation by South Africans of all ethnicities.
 
If ever there would be a sunset clause, I would propose 150 years, the first 50 years would be about apartheid, the next 50 years about colonialism and the next 50 years would compensate for the fact that we did not implement black apartheid and colonialism but instead democracy that still to some level negates the impacts of transformation and redress in achieving the desired outcome.

Ok cool.. After those 150 years, if you still haven't achieved your aims, then what?

150 years later and you will still be jumping up and down for a tap.
