Suradit69 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) One of the key driving forces in the fight for majority rule in SA was the students who rebelled against the inadequate education they were permitted under Apartheid. If anything is essential to developing the nation going forward, it would be easy access to education. It seems the ANC has forgotten its roots and who the "revolution" was intended to benefit. It looks like once again the youth need to make a wake-up call to those in power ... nearly 40 years after the SOWETO uprising in 1976.

What is significant about this is the fact that you will find a lot of these students will be from a group of what is called "free born" ie they were born after the end of apartheid and they only thing they know is an ANC govement and they are getting fed up with the lies, BS and broken promises Zuma and the old school ANC "communists" needs to be put out to pasture and the heir apparant - Cyril Ramaphosa, made president Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyT Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I can imagine how all left NGOs would shout if it was white government who arrested black students, who are convinced they are entitled for everything. but the government is black and very pro-American.. what a hard choice for Human Rights Watch and Amnesty international!

TimmyT Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) somebody in SA thought that after a first black president will take power money will grow on trees... instead of this white minority runs away (in fear of death), Afro-Africans from the whole continent conquer buildings in cities, make squatting there, shit in elevator shafts and the country quickly becomes a failed state. Zimbabwe (ex-South Rhodesia) is far ahead! There is still something to strive for! Cecil Rhodes is spinning in his grave like crazy...

Soutpeel Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 somebody in SA thought that after a first black president will take power money will grow on trees... Before the election I worked with a well educated Xohsa guy and he was telling me the ANC where promising a Mercedes and a big house in the suburbs for people who voted for them....seems that was a broken promise as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you may or may not know, the only current criteria for becoming President was that you spent time in jail on Robben Island....there is a list of the incumbent Presidents....as mentioned Cyril Ramaphosa is next on that list....
