Maybe you just look really silly bashing white South Africans and then being exposed for double standards in your closet support of Israel’s under hand tactics. The whole problem facing the Middle East is very connected to Israel’s gross discrimination against the Palesitinians……you are the last person that should be lecturing us on this site.

Like African-Americans during slavery and the civil rights movement, black Christinas in South Africa never ceased calling upon G-d for their freedom. What amazes me, is that people on this site do not grasp that G-d is not mocked – they expect to get off scot-free from their forefathers’ sins even though they have not asked for forgiveness.

Then I want to ask you this (no debate intended please) … with so many Christians in SA (like yourself) will God allow his sheep to be slaughtered by a mindless mass of revolutionaries? Don’t you think God allows things to be as they are at present – moving at the pace it is? And then this … did not ***** say his father will take care of those who puts his kingdom first (Mt 6)? So Mascot the answer then should be … poverty is only solved by putting God’s kingdom first. No world government will EVER succeed in doing so as long as they shun God. No revolution like capeflatsboy is suggesting will ever bring true lasting equality and prosperity.

Synopsis
“This work is an anlaysis of economic relations in South Africa. It analyses the work of numerous historians on inequality and exploitation in South Africa around a single theme: the systematic and progressive economic exploitation of indigenous people by settler groups. Second, the author argues that, despite South Africa’s transition to democracy, its society is as unequal – if not more so – than before. He claims that in the early 1990s, parallel to the constitutional negotations, a series of informal negotations and interchanges took place behind the scenes during which the local corporate sector, backed by powerful international financial institutions, made a concerted effort to “sell” unfettered capitalism to ANC leaders. This attempt succeeded, resulting in the ANC replacing the RDP with GEAR. The situation of the vast majority of blacks has in fact worsened since the transition to democracy. For this reason, he considers that South Africa’s transformation is incomplete. Sampie Terreblanche criticizes the corporate sector for its ruthless pursuit and protection of its own interests, to the detriment of broader South African society. He also criticizes the “new black elite” for its materialism and apparent indifference to the plight of the poor. In a final chapter, he argues that the current system of “neo-liberal democratic capitalism” is inappropriate to a developing country such as South Africa. He calls for a policy shift towards social democracy in which the state should play a more active role in alleviating poverty, redistributing wealth, and attending to social welfare.”

Now, on crime. As we all know, the Nationalists created the conditions for crime when they forcibly removed people into the hopeless slums that are Manenberg, Bonteheuwel, etc. To solve the problem, would you support the “right of return” of these families to Higgovale, Camps Bay, Tamboerskloof, Vredehoek, etc., to be financed by a once-off wealth tax? I doubt it.
