whoever made this video does not see the bigger picture, shit is still goin on there take slavery still exsists even though ppl like u want 2 live in denial, i think u should do sum more research as ur video has sooooooooooooo much mix messages u got it twisted. but i undastan wot u tryin 2 say, so just say it.

Wem morphious frm matrix offered u the pill i know which 1 u took.

[ProRSA]

you took e didn't ya? Jokes. I agree there is still slavery. but the laws are based on capitalism, not racism. at least there you have a better chance...

[hitmann34]

I am really confused at what the message of your video is...? Its good but I can't seem to find the underlying message in it.

[ProRSA]

The vid was made during the time of electricity crisis when all seemed, whats the word, dark? It was an indirect reply to the doomsday Sayers of the time like R3NDI3R. I then used the vid as an inspirational piece to show that we've actually been through worse so we can survive a simple electricity crisis... because of our south African spirit

I also get my negative days about this country! And I am not blind for its errors! Past and present! All I know is that South Africans of all colors love each other more than they care to admit! We have been doom prophesied so many times by the international community and even by ourselves! Yet we always pull through! If there is one country in Africa with a bright future it is SA! I am a white South African and VERY proud of my country!!!

[darcKyle]

wtf is your problem? South Africa is what it is today because of people like you. Love SA, and be proud of it

en as jy dit nie like nie, dan sal ek dit in jou in moer.

We have a long road ahead, yes, that is true. But every journey begins with the first step. The "rainbow" nation has has taken its first steps. We have seen the lows, just wait and see what highs we can acheive.... The road is long but we are on our way, we have despaired but never given up, for it is our spirit that makes us who we are-- South Africans.

ja jullie waren van ons :P

Whats the point of Zuma having advisers if they are also corrupt. Proof of this is the termination of the Scorpions. Even if they were selective in prosecution, Id rather have some corrupt government officials in jail rather than none at all

[1Sthabi]

Zuma was supposed to face his charges just like anybody else. Things went wrong when they were so desperate to get Zuma charged that they started manupulating the evidence and the information they received. That gave Zuma an allaby to use that as an excuse to escape court.

A lot of people who crossed the floor to COPE were people who were against Zuma, not the ANC. Not every ANC supporter believes in defying the ends of justice, corruption or even reverse racism.

[ArionSA]

And you believe it was ok for them to say that Zuma should not face his charges? Even the alleged tapes that apparently existed had NO evidence that the charges were false.

I blame South Africans and the ANC for defeating the ends of justice

[1Sthabi]

The majority of the ANC leadership did not want Zuma to face his charges, coz they believed they were politically motivated. Mbeki did nor support that and wanted Zuma to respect the judiciary and face the music in court....then the two centres of power began (Zuma camp & Mbeki Camp)

The presidential pardon is just announced by the pesident, but the decision is made by the Executive Council of the party. There's no decision that the president can make if his party doesnt support it!

[ArionSA]

Even presidential pardons?

And we all know the real reason Mbeki was kicked out, because Malema through his toys out his cot when he THOUGHT (had no proof) that Mbeki had something to do with the prosecution of Zuma, and that damn Zuma got away with it!!!

[1Sthabi]

No....u are wrong.

He has to consult for EVERYTHING that he does, thats why he has advisers. Every decision that he makes, is a mandate from "his" party.

Thabo Mbeki was kicked out of the presidency cos he wanted to question and defy instructions given to him, regardless of whether they are right or wrong. Thats the challenge that comes with the crown...u dont do what u think is right, but what the party thinks is right.

[ArionSA]

Actually they did vote Zuma into power, he alone has the power to do many things and wont need even hos parties permission to do so, eg presidential pardons, political appointments

[1Sthabi]

How about 80% agree with ANC policies, but not Zuma. Unlike the US, u cannot vote a person into power, but a party (based on their policies and vision)

Afirmative Action - It took more than 300years of crafting and practising apartheid in South Africa, it surely wont take 15yrs to fix all that. I really feel for white people in this country and understand their frustrations concerning BEE and AA.....but 'unfortunately' it has to be done to correct the inbalances of the past.
