We all want to \ live in a country that is govern by a government that does a good job. Look at other first world countries if you need some examples. Its not about white its not about black. Tax payers help build the country. Unfortunately the middle class who form the majority of all taxpayers are is still white. If you would like to blame the past its in your right, im not saying the past are not responsible for all the problems SA is facing, im asking you where and how will this be resolved ?

Sooner or later you would like to expect more from the government. Im just asking for more. A government should fear its people not the other way around. At this point I fear what their incompetence is doing to a country that could be much better.

A failing government do not have good leaders. Most of them are corrupt.

Why not try to compare our government with a successfull country’s government, take your pick. USA, Canada, Australia, England, Germany,who picked themselves up after the worst thing in the history of mankind- WW2.They are now the leading economy in europe. Why cant we do the same after Apartheid, I wonder?

Have a good day brother, I know you just want whats best for the country. Its good to share opinions. Peace out.

Lest Keo put another warning up about having to moderate comments again like he did a few years ago.

Its hard enough for Keo’s minions to copy and paste articles, we don’t want to have to burden them with having to read comments and then decide if they’re okay to post as well.

The”new enemy is poverty crime and below standard education”? You must be joking. For some of you white people its new yes. Don’t make me laugh. Go to rural eastern cape and ask them if poverty crime and bad education is anything new to them.

This was caused by the National Party and not the ANC. The ANC doesn’t have any good leaders? Should they rather be like Verwoerd or PW Botha. You would like that? And how the on earth are whites forming the backbone of the economy? On the one side you say its not about black or white and on the other side you claim whites are holding the economy together.

Why in your educated opinion did the Whites give the country back to the blacks?

Like I said, living in the past wont solve any problems. Playing the blaming game neither. Besides, its a new country, whites dont want Apartheid. Do you think Germans still want to live under Nazi rule? Its the same thing. If you live in the past you wont build the future.

If you truly believe that the will ever be a white government again there is no point in discussing the matter any further. There wont be thats the point its not about black and white. Its not about black and white its about doing what is right for the good of the country. Apartheid was ended by the ANC during the ‘struggle’, the ‘struggle’ against Apartheid is over. the new ‘enemy’ is poverty, crime and bad below standard education. The whites play their role they form the backbone of the economy to give the government money so that they have the financial means to fix the problems we face to help poor people advance in their quality of life. But unfortunately the government dont have any good leaders, they dont see the need for hard work to fix problems. They know they will aways stay in power and therefor dont feel the urgency to make changes. And thats why its so easy and effective to remind people of the struggle. Wake up the struggle is over the ANC is holding SA back to reach its real potential. The ANC can govern for the next 500 years for all I care, they must just be made responsible by the people so that they can deliver for the people. Forget about the black and white rubbish. There will never be a white government again, but a south african one. Hopefully one with people willing to work hard and get results without having their own personal political agende.

We’re not living in the present. The past is living with us. What you’re saying is true, but what happend between 1948 and 1994 caused this. Not the passed 18 years alone?

Apartheid officially started in 1948 and the first democratic election was in 1994.

Do the maths.

Compare that to 18 years. Don’t forget, the country wasn’t handed over by the whites. And no war forced them to hand it over to the blacks.

The whites messed it up. The last 18 years was spend trying to save the country you whites messed up.
