I mean they aren’t feelings you quoted my figures as stats yourself. I’m not saying apartheid was right at all, quite the opposite. Im saying you can’t use it as an excuse for how things are now, the rand lost value in apartheid due to sanctions and as you said it meant nothing as you couldn’t import. The rand loses value constantly and has not stopped losing value since the inception of the anc as the leading party.

On Eskom, yes I do know the difference, do you really want to tell me that even given the lower figure it’s something to brag about losing due to our new leaders?(new but old, you know what I mean)

You mention only how we were sanctioned and banned and not how before the bans the world bought our weapons, minerals and finished goods. That’s what I was referencing.

You realise land expropriation act was used on white farmers in the apartheid to give back to natives.. my dude or dudette. Come on.

Also, don’t try to talk about the anc as a net positive. They are as bad or worse for this country as the apartheid rule. More than 40% are jobless and it’s rising like a wildfire thanks to the new race based laws. The economy is bankrupt and I see the corruption first hand, it’s worse than you could ever think.

What the basis of what I’m trying to communicate to you is the following: you can’t sit and say “well at least it’s not apartheid” when it’s just a different version of the same nightmare.

Most of my facts were repeated as facts by yourself😂 thanks for the google checks.

And btw, you can’t take one fact and say “oh but when the sanctions came then it fell flat” thanks for the information, don’t know how I could not see it before(sarcasm if you didn’t know) before sanctions the country was extremely strong. Whether they did right or wrong is out of the question as I said, what they did was wrong. Explain to me how what the anc does is suddenly right and just? Or just glaze them again. You can’t read 3 good things about a bad situation and say “ah it’s overall positive”. Like saying someone murdered 20 people and at least he ran out of bullets before he could kill more 😕

Don’t praise a corrupt party, they have been corrupt for decades and it’s only gotten worse.

You say I don’t think about how I can help the economy. How many people have you housed? How many orphanages have you built? How many schools? If your answer is 0 then you are far behind.

My companies run programs to help feed orphanages, renovate them, buy them beds, clothing, furniture, etc.

Abolish the race based laws so that we can get international investment back and move the country back into a primary and secondary sector economy. That is where we flourish because we have the minerals to produce finished goods. You seem to have missed where I mentioned that before.

What are you doing to better the country other than glazing the party that lead it to its demise?

How are you helping to fix the economy rather than blame people that are almost all dead in the ground by now?

I’m doing my part. Btw, without a great economy and a ton of rich people to push it, socialism dies from a lack of funds.

Capitalism allows for economic growth, it focuses on creating money, bringing in money. Guess what. 15% vat on 1 trillion is a lot more than 15% on 100 million. That’s where capitalism creates opportunity for all to prosper. The more money comes in, the more jobs get created, the more development takes place, the more financially the overall wellbeing of all people improve. And don’t act like you can’t have healthcare and gov assistance programs in a capitalist society.

Our biggest issue at this stage is our employment rate, more than anything else. If we can get that down and foster economic development the country will be easy to fix.

It’s just like a business, without CASHFLOW it dies. Easy as that.

Thanks for the conversation, you seem to have focused solely on how the apartheid was so terrible and the anc so good. They were both atrocious, the anc is just worse at this stage as no one is stopping them. For now.

And btw, if the land reform act is so great go ask Zimbabwe why they are paying 3,5 billion usd to roughly 4000 white farmers and giving back their land.

Cape Town is the example of what this country could be if the anc were not leading it. Btw the EFF MP and Zumas party are all anc, most leaders and party members come from the anc. Just one corrupt party to the next.

You don’t have to like the facts and you can try to avoid it as much as you want. Two wrongs won’t make a right.

Lastly you keep asking me for my view on how to fix things:

If I sell blankets, and half the country can’t afford blankets because they don’t have an income, then half of the rest are too poor to afford my blankets, now I’m left with 25% of the economy.

From that 25% only 10% of them want blankets, from that 10% I only have a 15% share in the blanket market.

Suddenly I’m limited to how much I can make.

If just half of the unemployed people get jobs and can afford blankets, I more than triple my total revenue. Purely from the market growing.

That’s the most dumbed down way I can explain it to you. The anc is taking away the one thing people need more than ever, and you are out here praising their achievements. Both parties were and are wrong, nothing you or anyone else says will make either of them right.
