Before 1994
South Africa became a democratic nation in 1994 when elections were held and Nelson Mandela became the first black president of South Africa.
In the years before 1994, whilst under minority rule by the National Party, under leadership of John Voster, PW Botha and the last being FW de Klerk, South Africa was one of the wealthiest and well governed country in the world, but due to international pressure and economic sanctions, had to free the black communist leader, Nelson Mandela, and un-ban the ANC political party as well as all other political parties that were banned during the "apartheid" years.
South Africa is a country with some of the world's riches mineral wealth, such as diamonds, coal, platinum and many more. The world is very depended on these minerals and therefor, will do anything to be an importer of these minerals for their own economies.
Yes it's true that South Africa became bankrupt, in the latter stages under the National Party rule, not because of their policies, but because of economic sanctions.
Personally, I believe that the country could have been ruled in a different manner, so that it would have been more "Inclusive" than "Exclusive" of distributing labour and wealth to all those who lived in South Africa.
After 1994
Nelson Mandela became president and the country fell under ANC rule. It is well documented that he, Nelson Mandela, was a committed communist and began planning the black majority rule for South Africans.
According to the Corruption Perceptions Index 2012, South Africa is rated 69th out of 179 in the world, and is purely due to the ANC led government.
Our current president, Jacob Zuma, is tightlipped about the R240m rand spent on his rural home in Nkandla. Now the project is deemed "National Security" ! so no-one can ask questions.
The majority of Municipalities in South Africa are run by ANC lead councilors, giving government tenders for pals and family. Nepotism is rife in government departments. Billions of rands wasted by incompetent councilors and tender recipients, whist 80% + taxes are paid by whites.
Just the last weekend it has been reported that there were 44 murders in the Western Cape in ONE weekend ! Why ? Our police service is run by incompetent people. The structure in the police service is complete facing the wrong direction. Everybody are in charge and no-one is doing police work. The few successful cases solved are mostly due to white police officers and and handful of black and brown officers.
White police officers are completely disregarded when in comes to promotion. It appears that the ANC government has made sure that no black officer will be commanded by a white officer.
Look at our chief of police !! South Africa is one of the only countries in the world, whereby the chief of the police is commanded by a person who has never ever received a service medal for police work whatsoever. The previous commander was sent to 15 years in jail for corruption. Pals with drug lords and mafia bosses.
It is ironic that the people suffering the most under ANC rule are blacks themselves. They are ripped off left right and centre. A good example is the publicized debacle with solar geysers in Gauteng. Millions of rands spent on a system that is flawed and installed by incompetent people.
There are so many other matters that we can quote but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand the level of corruption taking place in South Africa.
It has been two decades later and the once beautiful country of South Africa, has deteriorated to such an extent that there is no turning back and the damage is un-reverseable.
The rest of Africa is NO example at all. Countries like CAR, Nigeria and others are also rife with corruption. Just look at the list of most corrupt index and you will find it self explanatory.
The ex state president, Nelson Mandela, is now lying in hospital on his last days and the ANC government has made a "god" out of him. He was NOT the savior of South Africa, merely a negotiator between political parties.
The world has been indoctrinated by the name "Mandela" and believe everything is said about him. He was and is still the "Master" behind the plan to make South Africa un-governable through military means. He is still and remain a participant is communist ideologies for the South African people.
" The Marxist-Leninst version of Communist doctrine that advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat"
It is time the world and the rest of South Africans to wake up and put the "X" at the right place for the next general election so that South Africa can be saved from absolute destruction.

Is South Africa Sitting on a Time Bomb ?
Is South Africa sitting on a Time Bomb ?
Question I asked myself and I'm sure many have done the same.
In my opinion, there are so many factors that will lead to an unstable South Africa and one needs to be vigilant and take note of similar happenings around the world in the past.
Why were there uprisings in other African countries ? Look what happened in Libya, Egypt, Rwanda, DRC, Ghana, and many more. Look at the current state of Syria !
All because of governments that support or in the process of dictatorships. In my opinion, the current South African Government is showing signs of the same mentality and if the situation is not changed, the people will rise up and civil war and mayhem will be the order of the day.
Look at the signs - The Marikana, strikes at our gold, platinum and coal mines, transport and many others. The people have no respect for the rule of law. Theft and corruption is in the order of the day in government departments, "jobs for pals" even if the person is not qualified, a taxi industry that is completely uncontrollable, fraud in all forms in government, tender processes (mostly given to those connected with the ANC. There are many more evidence to mention all.
We have a government that is riddled with communist. Will they change their views on communism ? The answer is NO otherwise they will distance themselves from any communist movements such as the SACP. What is the definition of communism ? " A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labour for the common advantage of all members."
Does this not look and sound familiar to the happenings in South Africa ?
What can be done ? - The only solution in my opinion is for the Government to change it's views and start serving ALL the people of the country and work for the people and not for the enrichments of themselves. - Let all it's citizens feel part to build a new South Africa, black and white all working for a common cause for the future of our children and their children. - If the situation does not change soon, we as South African citizens needs to change the government. I think it's also time for the world to take note of the situation and start subtle embargoes on South Africa to let the current ANC let Government know how they feel. Unfortunately, you have countries like China, India and Brazil who support South Africa with their communist- and anti-white methodology.
The current education system has failed in South Africa. Who is the Minister of Education ? Mr. Blade Nzimande (SACP and communist member). There are no or little order in our schools, kids bring weapons and drugs to schools. Where are the teachers ? They are too scared to act against the children in fear of their own lives. What type of system is that ? The children of today will be our leaders of tomorrow. Is that how we see the South Africa of the future ?
Please Mr. President, we as South african citizens beg of you, even if it will cost your you favoritism amongst the ANC members, be a man of Values and Integrity and lets build on a South Africa that ALL it's citizens can be proud of.

Eastern Cape Tourism
Judging from all the flood damage in the Eastern Cape area, specially East London to Port Elizabeth route via the N2 and R72, I foresee that some serious adjustments to be done for the anticipated tourist figures for the December 2012 festive season.
According to media reports, the N2 will only be open early in 2013, leaving the R72 the alternative option. The R72 is also now closed but believe it should be re-opened soon and will therefor have to accommodate very heavy traffic flow and possible delays.
I will recommend that anticipated "Income" figures of local business to be adjusted downwards and anticipated "Expenditure" figures for the municipalities affected to be vastly increased.
I am amazed that these municipalities have not called on the central government to declare these flooded affected areas a "Disaster areas" !
The Eastern Cape area is very dear to me and is considered as one of the poorest provinces in South Africa.
I call on the powers to be for a major wake-up call and forget about your own pockets and try and help the community, specially those who have been hard-hit.
The local radio station, Algoa FM, has made at least some attempt to call for extra clothing, blankets etc but much more is needed to help the community and the area as a whole.
It is my opinion that international tourist, visiting the area, will not be in jeopardy as they normally travel by air.
My concern is the traveling by road tourist that may change plans as a result of this disaster. The Eastern Cape as a whole can ill-afford any anticipated loss in revenue from any source as it rely heavily on tourism.

US Election Cost
Portion of an article by Gareth Edmundson wrote :
I quote" - $ 7 billion - that's how much the 2012 US election campaign will have cost after all the ballots have been cast. In 2010, UK election spending was $ 48 million. Even if the UK was the same size as America, spending to get candidates elected in the US would still be 30 times that of the UK.
Still shocked ? Facebook revenue in 2011 was a mere $ 3,7 billion, or if you want to talk countries, $ 7 billion is roughly the entire GDP of `zimbabwe. Yes America will likely spend more on campaign posters, badges and attack ads in 2012 than the entire GDP of Zimbabwe.
Ok, so $ 7 billion is a lot but there still many in US that argue that if you curtail spending you are only preventing free speech - which is not exactly "Bill-of-rights" tactics. They also claim that in countries like the UK, elections ate not as democratic because without spending on adverts people don't get to know all the facts to make an informed choice. - "un-quote"
Why do the US media only show the debates of the two main parties on television ? Are there no other parties representing the voters of the US ?
Saw to my amazement that a party called "The Green Party" whether I agree with their principals or not, is not given a platform on the media floor, in fact they are even forbidden to attend the live debates between the Republicans and Democrats.
I am nieve as to the political systems in the US but if they want the world to believe that their constitution is "water-proof" I think that the US must take example of the current constitution of South Africa.
We have free speech and can even post paintings like the infamous "Spear" painting that, although many would say was in bad taste, was still displayed in a gallery for the world to see.
For those who have not heard of the "Spear" painting, it was a painting of our current president Jacob Zuma with his genital parts being exposed.
I am sure that the US can do more for it's own people and for those they wish to help financially, than to spend $ 7 billion on election campaigns.

The EU Countries
Was it a good idea to form the EU whereby all the countries have one single currency "The Euro" ?
I think this idea is going to have a negative affect on all the European countries because they under extreme economical pressure.
Germany having the strongest economy, will have to bail out most of the struggling countries such as Italy, Spain and Greek. I do not think that the Germans are too happy about this idea.
How can one central bank control all the economics of all the EU countries ?
If the EU countries do not come together and each leader start desperate measures to sort out the economic situations we will see a financial crash that we have never seen before.
