  • Hate always finds a way.

    As for commentators here who have the luxury of urging others to 'pull up their bootstraps', a lot of people don't have boots. It looks like the ANC has betrayed its principles.

  • @briperez :I

    It's hard for me to judge what they are doing when I've never been in their position.

  • @Mayokitty7 I don't believe that the government owns all the resources, South Africa is a republic. Seems to me that they just want a hand out instead of working for themselves to get it done.

  • @Midnightryder7 Not with tin & cardboard sent to them by the oppressed people of Africa.

  • @briperez People in japan are helping each other by rebuilding there homes at this very moment!

  • @briperez BEcause the resources are owned by the government and they don't have the money for the tools in either case.

  • Why are they relying on the government to build the homes? Why don't they just collectively gather their resources and build their own houses

  • @Steve7508 yep, it is always so funny when i hear "it's all Bush's fault". apparently, this is a global attitude of politicans.

  • @Steve7508

    yep, you try being a politician and see how far you get

  • The wealthy need to learn to fear the people. Dont kill each other. Drag your politicians out and lock them up for serving the financial elites instead of the people.
