Where you going to get the money for all these programs you propose?

[ODINexpat]

i would get the money from all the recovered cash that is currently being splurged in corruption and unbelievable salaries and salary increases that are not conneceted to on performance nor inflation.

the money is there but the financial controls on spending are either not present or being totally mismanaged.

once again the money is there, MASSIVE lack of political will and business experience to control it!!!!!

Is it a chicken and egg situation?

Let say for every tourist that visits South Africa, 7 permanent jobs are created. When a South African professional leaves could we say that at least 3 permanent jobs are lost? When I left the gardener and maid were left unemployed. What about other services I used. They are all affected.

When we leave - do we contribute to unemployment and crime? The wave of crime I left on was helped by the guy before me. I helped create the wave you left on? True?

[ODINexpat]

those are meanigless assumptions of how many people are employed by tourist and how many jobs r lost when people leave. do we contribute to crime? should i stay in SA to keep 3-4 people employed & face the prospect of murder or rape affecting my family!!!

the question is wrong....why has the gov allowed the situation to escalate to this level. simple answer....THEY DON'T CARE & they know that they WILL WIN THE NEXT ELECTION NO MATTER WHAT!!!!

ANC has gone power & money mad!! Lost their way!

Don't give up on your country.

What would it take to make you move back? NOTHING I hope. What makes you think you're wanted. STAY THE FUCK OUT you ugly white gorilla NOBODY wants you in Africa. You don't belong on the planet, white freak.

Am sorry you are cock, White tend to forget the problem that south Africa is caused by them, so please shut up

[Machiavelli1513]

@gberchenko Wow, that's extremely contrary to the stats and documentaries I've seen. Maybe you should go back and interview or live with some White South Africans of today!

You can help by working within South Africa and if you are less focussed of race and the past. You will live to regret it after some years in your self imposed exile when you find the English richer that the Afrikaans right there in South Africa. Why do you think they lined up to greet Jacob Zuma when he visited the UK. Not because they like him but because of the massive potential in SA. Where you are they probably don't even consider you white! Maybe mexican or Arab!!

@ODINexpat Another thing: The ANC will get even MORE power as things become more chaotic, That's probably the biggest reason they don't care about the economy, crime, etc. You see this happening in America, too.

The age-old maxim: Chaos and pure democracy (where the majority, and NOT law rules) ALWAYS produce Totalitarianism.

Jesus said: 'in the last days, lawlessness (evil, chaos) will increase, causing most people's love for others to grow cold.' See Matthew, chapter 24.

My opinion as a white American who spent 6 months in SA and established friendships with a few black South Africans is the country needs AA in order to correct the severe imbalances in education and employment opportunities that apartheid government and previous segregationist administrations perpetrated. The white unemployment rate in SA according to stats are extremely low - 2 to 3%, so claim of "reverse discrimination" is hard to swallow. I did not look for a job in SA, but look at stats.

great points, you're a smart cat.. the mentoring system would help loads. it would do two things; educate/train the poor and have people work together of all races.. keep up the good vids!
