There is a growing concern with right-thinking South Africans about their future. The question is asked in daily correspondence columns and commentaries or something can be done about the rapid deterioration of proper government? xshg A further question is whether there is "something" or someone who can or want to take the lead in stopping this deterioration.
The Republic of South Africa has the most democratic constitution in the world, or so they say! The new laws over the past eighteen years with great speed piloted through parliament and accepted, also the best in the world, or so they say! Who are they? They are the ANC government and its alliances, Cosatu and the South African Communist Party.
Despite the above so-called achievements, life South African citizens in fear and defeatism under a cloud of poverty, xshg crime and insecurity, corruption and police xshg brutality lesson best. A All the greater xshg feeling of anger and dissatisfaction against the regring's inability xshg to govern effectively and honestly and to deliver basic services, upload and manifests itself in violent protests with accompanying loss of life.
High levels of crime High unemployment Unacceptable levels of poverty A divided xshg ruling party, with criminals as leaders, not the moral will to govern or to rule according to fair democratic principles Poor or inadequate government at all levels Corruption lazy and poorly trained and / or untrainable civil servants Incompetent local government leaders and officials Racism and Discrimination reverse racism and reverse discrimination Nepotism Cadre deployment
Daily writing disgruntled citizens letters in newspapers and magazines. Facebook on the Internet several portals that hopeless people inklee their frustrations and often it borders on outright racism. A host of blogs on the Internet industry with negativity about the country as a starting point. Thousands of highly trained and knowledgeable professional and skilled citizens queuing at overseas embassies to leave the country or had already left the country. They are by First World countries snapped up and deliver unprecedented contributions to the economies and scientific development xshg of those countries.
The golden thread running through editorial and topical commentary of the most prominent newspapers are woven, is that the once respected Republic of South Africa is fast becoming in deteriorating xshg a banana xshg republic. There are even rumors that African countries, and in particular Ghana, Botswana, xshg and Negeriƫ selfgs Kenya and Zambia are pushing the RSA as an economic powerhouse passing. Others will follow soon.
Statements of politicians from opposition parties in the national parliament and provincial legislatures, due to the overwhelming majority of seats from the ruling party, on the one hand regarded with suspicion and the other ignored with disdain and ridicule.
But nobody does something concrete to the problems to solve. Here and there are individuals or local community organizations that use isolated attempts to change the status quo. Attempts to interest groups on ethnic grounds off the ground to get through websites and Facebook portals on the Internet, however, be condemned as racism and, self-interest, glorification or yearning for the past, denigrated. There are only calling voices in the wilderness.
The only groups who make an effort to try to do something, far-right and right-wing xshg groups that romanticized own interests as reviving of old farmers republics, the establishment of nation states, etc. pursue. However, their efforts were futile as it is by small groups of adventurers (see gang members as in the Boksombende) xshg on ameteuragtige way industry and did not impact on the rest of the population. Actually, they are a mockery and an embarrassment - like the ANC.
There is a famous saying, freely translated, which reads as follows: If good people do nothing, ruled the devil. How many good people xshg of all races, there are not that want to do something but does not know how to do. Though they knew what to do and try, but it would be individual efforts, leading to nothing, because they do not have the knowledge, experience, background and financial resources to something concrete and blywene nature of the soil get off.
Two recent examples of actions launched to try to change the status quo is the successful lawsuit against the government by Hugh Glenister xshg (Dissolution of the Falcons) and AfriForum's effort to muzzle Malema. (Hate speech) xshg In the first case Glenister had enough money to launch the application. In the second case, AfriForum had a foundation that could be supported for support and funds. Unfortunately, the application of Agri Forum on behalf of a group entniese, namely white Africanmarigold
