@ iggy..... once should not paint everyone with the same brush. Believe you me when i say that there are alot of 'them' that are highly educated and capable. the mistake we make is that when one of 'them' makes a mistake or says something silly , intentionally or not , we are quick to make statements like yours....

do yourself a favour and watch ivictus starring morgan freedom. 

ps: Rome took time.

Elf agree with you 100% that there are a lot educated ones.

The educated ones must just stop putting the uneducated ones in high profile positions making themselves(the educated) and our country look bad to the outside world with all the uneducated statements.

Simen please delete if inappropriate.

Guys just a word of friendly warning to all of us.

lets keep this thread friendly and well within the rules.

I don't want to see any slandering or personal remarks surfacing, specially not between members

It started as a joke so lets keep it light hearted.

Thanks to all

One thing that i enjoyed seeing was the otherday on the news between cosatu and DA were a wit ou got stoned and in a black and coulered man helped him out for medical help. I think that scene will stay in my head forever and that made me relise that it is polititians that will try and devide people at all costs to fill there pockets. But from that scene one can see that people are having enough of this and would rather build on a future.

Have a look on News 24 at Cosatus remarks regarding the outcome of the Terblanche trail,this is the type of comment that keeps racism alive.unbelievable

Good to compare Rome with S.A,Rome was run by corrupt, greedy,self serving drunkards,were is Rome today ,lying in ruins

well , that might be true however,'A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand'

@ JasonF , agreed. the educated and intelligent one's have left politics or they are two involved in Business ventures thus leaving 'them' to lead.

eg: Cyril Ramaphosa, if ever we need someone to run this country it's got to be him!

good post ELF, thanx

guys, i try to avoid commenting on anything political on this fishing website, however, we are all human, and citizens of this amazing country. so sometimes, our frustrations and bad experiences, or our fears for the future of our offspring in this country gets the better of us and we need to let off some steam. so i understand that politics will always pop it's head up and we just have to deal with it as it's presented. as SIMON said, the OP posted it as a joke, so lets leave it at that. i will reserve my comments on that issue, but lemme tell you guys...... you might just be surprised at the outcome.

As a side note, i have been involved in the struggle for the liberation of this country since a very very young age, but more importantly, I have brother WHO IS ONE OF "THEM", and i can assure you guys, our governement works hard, these guys work tirelessly to run this country, 3 to 4 hours sleep a night is all most of them can manage before 'they' have to leave their families, yes, they have families too. so lets try to offer constructive critisism, which is welcomed by 'them' and try and move forward. every government in every country has 'loafers', we're no different, we're just very transparent.

During the early '90's I spent a few years in Israel and noticed that almost all their coins were the '2 part' style coins. The ones that are almost impossible to counterfeit... Of course upon returning to South Africa, low and behold we have the whole R5 coin debacle and then, long after a few criminals made a fortune, the government then changed the coins to the '2 part' ones...

My question is this, how is it that all these so called democracy's under the guise of cr@pitalism are so quick to adopt vehicle emissions tax, carbon off-setting tax, green tax, road tax, food tax, etc. It's these things 'they' learn at all these summits (G20 & G8 especially). Yet, when it comes to really good ideas that actually benefit the average man, 'they' go blind.

Another good example was the latest COP17 (A discussion on curbing carbon emissions) hosted in Durban recently... This party cost the South African tax payer R400 million rand a day, so these puppets could eat and drink like kings while at the same time this puppet government was lending $80 billion US dollars to fund the construction of 2 coal burning power stations that will emit more CO2 than any other power station in the world, please explain this to me???
