My Political Opinion

The ANC leadership, the generation of the 1994 transition, did not have an opportunity to grow into the responsibilities of governing a rather sophisticated and modern country, the richest and most powerful in Africa. It happened overnight. Their lives were transformed from oppression and struggle, from powerlessness, to total power. Poverty was replaced by overpowering richness. And all this happened overnight, in the scope of less than four years. 

The ANC's lekgotla, held over the weekend, outlined specific tasks in the six priority areas identified by the ANC’s NGC: • Firstly, to fix local government and improve basic services • Secondly, to speed up economic transformation and to engender inclusive growth and job creation • Thirdly, to wage war on crime and corruption and tackle GBVF as a National Disaster • Fourthly, to build a South Africa that belongs to all through the National Dialogue...

The ANC cadres are not the excellent creators they believe themselves to be; they are destroyers. They contaminate everything they touch. They have turned South Africa into a mafia state, a failed state. And they are still at it.

I don’t think that the ANC and its allies must depend too much on support from Europe for an anti-American rebellion in the G20. Don’t look to Europe to support South African in a large-scale boycotting of the G20 in the United States until Trump agrees to the demands of the Comrades.

The populist icons of South African politics have enormous egos; all believing that they are greater than the Ideas they are proposing. Some actually are; some not. However, none of them are bigger than perception.

My problem with the current academic model is that there is seemingly very little relationship between effort and result. Academics’ performance is not assessed in terms of their ability to get students (learners) ready for the world of work. In the model that QS World University Rankings use to rank universities, only 10% of the assessment weight is allocated to reputation among prospective employers.

Level 1 BBBEE. Beautiful; it simply means you discriminate 100% against White South Africans.
