wrong for the right reason ?
As European 4 year here, i find it hard to accept positive discrimination,
bearing in mind the past i can accept it but should not be a permanent
situation, it is 12 year, seems long, but in the USA in most places
African Americans on average at school still underperform after 40 years,
everything will stand and fall with education and that should basically
start from day one, as at the countryside children 4/5 years old are oftenly
mentally and physically miles behind kids their age in Europe and find it hard
to hang in at school.
Education is perhaps better thatn before 1994, but that is not the benchmark,
to provide a decent quality of live which politicians promise every 2nd word
they speak is easier said than done.
Productivity is quite low, lot's of free days,poor education, no attention for
individual development, 6 million hiv positive,lack of qualified people.
So for my fellow white asses it should be fairly easy to find a job, perhaps not
precisely what you want, but a start is a start.
Jobs should be created in new disciplines and not more of the same, this seems to be quite difficult.
It's my taking that the % of people which are completely non qualified for their job is way too high to get away with it, and that starts to heart.
When a rand is spent, effectively it is le say 25-30 cent and that is not
sustanaible,don't forget a democracy does not come cheap and managing
a town or city administration is university level, to keep things going and flowing is an art in itself.
Corruption is another serious problem, it works like cancer, it spreads and
is hard to fight once it is common practice.
i quess it is really time to say goodbye within the ANC, that is not a defeat,
but a logical step and will reshape the political landshape and will hopefully
allow more choice and less characterization of parties which is ridicilous.
Defending something what's wrong for the sake of the party leadership line
is giving faceless,meaningless politicians,politicians must have mind of their
own and when they realise the people of other parties are of flesh and blood
it becomes much easier to form coalitions where and when needed.
The 2010 world championship is a great happening, but questions and real
serious structural problems will probably not adressed, but won't go away either, interestrates rise again, individual debt is quite high and the political
struggle could have a damaging impact, there is one ministery who has sorted out it;s business and that is Finance and SARS, that the whole country is not behind him as being by far the best cadidate for the Presidency is a pity as he is the only one who can manage and redirect
the ship on the right course again.As said, 12 year is short,look at West Germany 64 million people had to integrate East Germany when the wall went down, it has costed them a fortune and has costed them an arm and a leg
and are still paying for it and their Gross National Product is probably
30 times bigger as of SA.
It's positive to step away from making a color issue out of everything which is
often the easest way out but bottomline either a lack of communication skills
or running out of sensable arguments.
