Another good video, Trevor (et. al.), and I do think that the animations assist greatly is enhancing what is said. I don't watch much national TV, but I hope that the message gets out beyond YouTube and into areas of SA where this message needs to be heard. Keep up the good work.

Focus on the future, ok, easy!, let people choose their workers on their merit, no more black empowerment! and one more thing, politics doesn't mix with sport!

Thandi was plonked before the TV as a free babysitter from her earliest days. Her brain paths atrophied and she learned to be a passive consumer. Although there was a library nearby with free children's books, nobody in her family took her to it. They were too busy feeling sorry for themselves. Furthermore, Thandi was told repeatedly that she would only be a REAL woman if she had a baby, etc, etc. So she did, and got trapped in a further cycle of poverty.

I was wondering who produced this.

I see Design Capital feel aggrieved that someone else got this job sounds like sour grapes to me. Why cannot people just say well done great job and then behind close doors find out why the never got this job. As airing it in their views in public just makes them appear petty.

Great use of animation to create a clear picture of the problem, and communicate the urgency of the issues at hand! Can't wait to see the next one!

The idea of leadership is being used as a convenient propaganda tool. If we keep on making everybody a leader, it loses its meaning. A merit-based system should by definition strengthen society, and propagate to its lowest parts. Those who are already leaders, should be stewards also, and justly care for those they govern.

My two cents:

1) Remove exchange controls and all other artificial means to keep the rand stronger than it needs to be.

2) Simplify or remove regulation vigorously. If you don't ABSOLUTELY need a form for it, you shouldn't have form for it.

3) Drop all forms of BEE immediately, it will never do anything but make Africans poorer and widen the gap. Use Keynesian means instead, South Africa is now in a good position to do so.

4) Stop aiming for perfection as a society.

Awesome explanation of why we need a common goal to work towards in this incredible country of ours!!

This is very well done - are you using this to communicate to the youth through media or schools I think it can be used very effectively.Well Done
