Dude, people in S.A is living in poverty because they managed in 18 years to expand by more than 12 million people, mothers and fathers who does not have jobs are making children in a country where the government is raiding the coffers and instead of creating jobs, more people are losing jobs. So if people are still struggling they must look in the mirror or ask their parents, WHY?

Are you really that stupid? So you would've rather fought the old SA army, all their fire power, police and all citizens in a civil war than take the country for yourself with peace. What do you think the outcome of that would've been? FFS grow some F8dfing brain cells please.

You took South Africa - power of more than two thirds to do as you please - AND LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED?

Lastly - everyone is yapping about 80% of land in white hands. Do you know how stupid this statement is? Since 1996 the deeds office has never registered any deed in catagory of race. That means that no one in South Africa knows how much land is in white and black hands.

Nelson Mandela did not want the countries economy to crash and let 1000's of his own people die of hunger like in Zimbabwe. I think he was a bit, no not a bit, much more clued up and caring about the people of SA than what you could get in your few brain cells.

ANC is doing the right thing for not responding to a drunker like Ngobeni, because by doing that it will be glorifing a stuperd statement by so called AZAPO youthless league. People should remember that this are the statement made by people who don`t have directions. How can Mandela stays in prison for 27 years for just for selling black and white people. At that time it was not appropriate to talk about the land issues since that will cause a civil war in the country. So the transition was to develop a constitution that will satisfy both the parties, meaning a win-win situation, not a loso-win or lose-lose situation as that will drive a country in civil war. So Mandela and other people are not sell out as claim by uneducated youthless AZAPO.

What do these youngsters know about the situation around 1994 ? Mandelas did not act on his own, the whole ANC leadership stood behind him in the negotiations at Kempton Park. The uneducated young brats are not even worthy of mentioning Mandela's name, they should be told to shut the f up.

1994 brought democracy and a constitutional order, with reasonable affirmative action and land restitution measures specifically built in. It is simply a wuestion of implementing those measures efficiently and fairly, in a healthy econo9mic climate, and the previously oppressed will start to see the fruits of liberation. The problem is that this ANC government is not up to the task, the problem is not the 1994 settlement.

"We must teach the young the truth in the face of such distortion. Speaking truth to power is today the best service we can give those who died so that we may live.

We need to ask why the names of Tsietsi Mashinini and Khotso Seatlholo are not celebrated as the leaders of the uprising.

The young must be taught why both these amazing young people, who shook the foundations of white rule, refused to join the ANC in exile or on Robben Island and died members of Biko's Black Consciousness Movement?

I had the privilege of sharing a house with Seatlholo after his period on Robben Island. He understood the Kempton Park negotiations as a sell-out solution to rescue white capital and for the few in power, and that such a democracy would continue the suffering of the black majority." qoute Andile Mngxtama

I also think the youth is more sophisticated than assumed by some of their "leaders". The "leaders" continue to take a hard non-sensical , destructive line. I think the youth of today see through that. They see succesful black people, and are beginning to form impressions of what makes them succesful.
The destructive , moronic pursuit of vengeance, may ring true for some, but not, I think for the majority. These "leaders" should not underestimate the newfound sophistication of our youth.

The truth is that whether we like it or not the ANC is a party runned by a collective; just like communist China (I hope you get what I mean) and the majority of our people are very happy to have them in power because they believe it's their time to eat!!!! Said but real.

Most of people who are commeting here are those who were born/became conciouse after 1994. Read the process of "Negotiated Settlement " the so called CODESA and find out why Mandela went on to negotiate whilst t PAC and AZAPO went out of negotiations.
Ask why did he opt to go on .Its because there was a bargain ."YOU LEAVE US WITH WHAT WE HAVE NOW (LAND) AND YOU GO TO PARLIAMENT ,STAY IN TOWN AND YOUR KID GO TO "MODEL C SCHOOLS WITH OURS".This was enough for him to say its fine .There are lot of african countries that were independent before SA .Why him and de klerk can be given the noble peace what ever. Its because he saved the white majority by giving them the most important thing in every citizens life LAND .Were in Europe can you have Africans own hectors and hectors of land .

OKAY! this is very sensitive and have all made our minds about utata. yes he is a political hero but what if ther is some truth in what this guyz are sying? come to think about it who knows what was agreed on during CORDESSA?( I am not sure of the spelling there). I am just clarifying because some people are always looking for mistakes.

One can ask themselfs questions like, If ground roots people like me can see the need for a better education system, why cant our leaders see that? The economic imbalance is clear to the man on the street are you telling me that still our leaders are blind to that as well? The youth league speaks of nationalisation of mine and people get expulsion. Something is fishy. You do not spend 27 yrs of your in prison and achieve so less. Our struggle is only beneficiary to the minority and that is a fact. All the follen african countries had something to do with what thier leaders has agreed to during negitiations.

It truly upsets me to think that there are people amongst us who believe that a civil war would have been a solution, their argument is that we should have taken up arms for our freedom..what they lack to understand is that there are NO WINNERS in war, can you imagine where we would have been as a country had they entertained the beliefs of Chris Hani and Joe Slove during those negotiations.

These fools need to look around Africa to see the results of a war, which in most cases would have been avoided had people decided to put their massive EGO's aside and do what is beneficial for the people.

I command those who were part of those negotiations for having had the courage to see beyond their selfish needs and putting the people of the Republic first, those who were negotiating set us apart from the rest of the Continent and for that i am eternally grateful...sacrifices had to be made which is why it was called a NEGOTIATION.

Oh on another note...these lazy people need to get off their behinds and start doing things for themselves and stop expecting handouts cause that seems to be the main reason why they are pissed off with the current status...they expected things to fall from the sky....aint going to happen lazy bums.

Get up and do it for yourself or suffer the consequences of being lazy....the entitlement mentality is not going to get you far in this life my lazy friends.

I'm not bitter my friend. just saying something as it is my friend, the legacy you talking about will be pure bulls*-/t, we are talking fact here, and we are asking a questing what was the conclusion or agreemnt of CODESA?

Mandela & company had a freedom chater to aadhere to when negotiating for a new South Africa, some of you are talking about wars, it seems like you are derailing fron the the topic, that TATA sold us when negotiating, he was not alone, even Cyril Ramaphosa was company of the team.

all we asking was for better life for all of us who live in South Africa, we knew things must happen gradually but due to the constitution some other chnages can't take place

So please go & read the CODESA agreement.

even my boy Malema did not have the guts to call a spade a spade due to we all know it is a sensitive matter. please note we all love TATA for his participation in the strugle & we can't take away his legacy of fighting strugle.

Its actually the other way round. We sold Madiba out. When he came out of prison, he said: "I stand before you as a humble servant." He reiterated that he was prepared to pay the highest price in fighting for both bl@ck and wh!te domination.

Now we have repaid him for the time that he spent in Robben Island by looting the State coffers, corruption, racism disguised as liberalism, tribalism (100% Z.ulu boy/ X.hosa boy, crime, dysfunctional education system and the list is endless.

Let us remember that he did his best and he left the ANC and government in sound health and now patient ANC and government is in intensive care unit and arrogantly do not want to accept that it is dying a slow painfull death.

Azapo must leave Madiba alone and concentrate on building the party that is in political wilderness and stop being irrelevant and insensitive.

because once you have the solution then its easy to move foward , hence Mandela wanted nothng but peace. look at Zim, it is not in good condition bcz Muggy only wants revenge while the people are suffering and also enjoying the best healthcare system abroad of which he cant even provide for his own people, his children live a sophisticated life, in the midst of poverty he is the king, Mswati too.

Madiba displayed leadership qualities when all wanted to revenge Hani's death, he managed to calm the storm at Soccer City during the burial of Chris Hani. He was the brain behind the stoping of senseless killing of ANC/IFP members in the 90's. All I am saying is that yes to some, he is a hero and Azapo disagrees, but he is the best son of the soil that Mzansi has ever produced. Azapo is out of order.

@Makhosini0408, you repay him, I was born in 1981 and as much as I didn't experiance apartheit to that extend I saw the affects growing up, with also the passing of my cousin in the hand of the South African police force then we all and our families paid our doose, Mandela was not the only one fighting the struggle, many died for the course, we love Mandela but we don't owe him anything.
***************

very true we owe him nothing except respect for he efforts
but have you pondered on why we keep giving so much money to Mswati and also helping Zim with the tax payers money??
some political analysts keep on reminding us of the past and where we come from dat it is because we owe them favour.
I dont believe its fair, because we give them those moneis but they are not well spent. and the man who spent almost a quoter of his life in jail demands absolutly nothing , yet we have people who fail to bring solutions but start more problems by openning a poisonous smelly can of worms, he sure might have his own ghosts in the closet, but we dont need that now, but a solution

What you are saying is understandble to me, but my point of argument to AZAPO is why now??
2. in your own opinion from the day ANC took over what has been the hinderence to service delivery?
3. Didnt we at Mandela time have free education, feeding schemes etc? the things that he needed to implement then.
I doubt it would have been good for him to squander tax payers money in one period proviing for all the promises in one go. He left the duty for others to continue.
He was wise enought to stepdown before he is cornered by family and friend to do favours, of which the leaders after him thought they can not step down for each other so that all the skill and expetees can be exercised.

I guess what was discussed in the CODESA was ignored by the leaders that are now on the seats, we hear of all manner of corruption done by GVMNT officials.

@Cowgirl, "what they lack to understand is that there are NO WINNERS in war"

That's the whole point of such people since they have the shot hand of fortune they figure we might as well all loose, same as a successfull or rich person does not feel the need to share the countrie's wealth with others and that if one is in porverty then hard luck for them they must find thier way out of porverty, same as you believe such people are lazy as you also don't acknowladge thier up-hill struggle to escape the circle of porverty.

Mandela's is the world's sweet heart of the world as much as AZAPO might have a point it is too late for any apologies as most of those who were part of the collective then have passed away, it's now out of place for such a request.
____________________________________________________________________________

Some of my people seem to think that they are the only ones who have it bad, forgetting that we all had it bad pre 94 and we decided to do something about it post 94, and that is were the difference is between those who made something of their lives without expecting free handouts...it was never going to serve any purpose to moan while life passed us by...it was only going to leave us bitter and feeling like victims of the circumstances....i believe it is a mindset thing and sheer determination to make something of yourself and sorry to say this but when you have none...no amount of blame will help you overcome your circumstances.

People need to stop being selective in their blame game...they should rather blame the ANC for selling them out if they feel that is the case and not put the blame solely on Mandela cause that just exposes the fact that they do not understand our countries politics, the ANC specifically.......THE COLLECTIVE has always been an ANC motto...let it not change now to suit your devious agenda people.

@Secretary

Discussing anything with you is a waste of time cause you sound like a stuck record......i am still asking you ...what would you have liked the ANC to do?....taking out the settlement and civil war that is.

Maybe people need to start being truthful in analysing the current situation and admit that CORRUPTION is the root of the current state of affairs, these current comrades are corruptable and this is something which was an oversight on the part of the leadership of the past cause they had assumed that the ANC would always have leaders with moral compass who would like to see all their people succeed, they didn't bank on the current scum who are in it for themselves and to hell with the masses who live in abject poverty and they are happy keeping them there for as long as they can.

The resources are there but plummeted by the greedy so called comrades which we see in our midst...you can't blame Mnadela for that sh%t.

@Candyboy

The thought of you in that Spanish Bull fighting outfit makes my blood run wild...i see you are a naughty boy today...it must be the weather(cold)

I can't entertain the deliberate ignorance of most here....surely there is no excuse anymore for not educating ourselves about world issues cause the implications of not reaching a settlement had far reaching repurcussions for South Africa and the world as we are not a freakin island as some would like to believe....we operate in a global community and all those things had to be taken into consideration when those negotiations were taking place.

Wake up people and educate yourselves a little more for the sake of your own children.

How come that our government is paying for HIV n AIDS victims?? encouraging that everybody if they cant get jobs or dont wanna work must hunt for Aids and they will have income.
Wats next?? Nationalise then you can Marry as many wives as you like then there will be compensation for such men who has 20 wives paid per wife and the number of children and also the wife to be paid for being in a polygammy??
Our forefathers did that based on their wealth.

if the nationalisation can be allowed now it will serve their purpose ofclosing the gaps they created through corruption that they can not answer for during financial audits.
It is a way they wanna make sure before they are taken down by another party , they would have finished all the resources, untill when we shall be starting from the scratch fixing problems instead of moving foward?

Text of the Groote Schuur Minute
4 May 1990
The government and the African National Congress agree on a common commitment towards the resolution of the existing climate of violence and intimidation from whatever quarter as well as a commitment to stability and to a peaceful process of negotiations.

Flowing from this commitment, the following was agreed upon:

The establishment of a working group to make recommendations on a definition of political offences in the South African situation; to discuss, in this regard, time scales; and to advise on norms and mechanisms for dealing with the release of political prisoners and the granting of immunity in respect of political offences to those inside and outside South Africa. All persons who may be affected will be considered. The working group will bear in mind experiences in Namibia and elsewhere. The working group will aim to complete its work before 21st May 1990. It is understood that the South African government, in its discretion, may consider other political parties and movement and other relevant bodies. The proceedings of the working group will be confidential. In the meantime the following offences will receive attention immediately:
The leaving of the country without a valid travel document.
Any offences related merely to organizations which were previously prohibited.
In addition to the arrangements mentioned in paragraph 1, temporary immunity from prosecution of political offences committed before today, will be considered on an urgent basis for members of the National Executive Committee and selected other members of the ANC from outside the country, to enable them to return and help with the establishment and management of political activities, to assist in bringing violence to an end and to take part in peaceful political negotiations.
The government undertakes to review existing security legislation to bring it into line with the new dynamic situation developing in South Africa in order to ensure normal and free political activities.
The government reiterates its commitment to work towards the lifting of the state of emergency. In this context, the ANC will exert itself to fulfill the objectives contained in the preamble.
Efficient channels of communication between the government and the ANC will be established in order to curb violence and intimidation from whatever quarter effectively.
The government and the ANC agree that the objectives contained in this minute should be achieved as early as possible.

Sell-out or not, Mandela couldn't have done it alone. Liberation movements had armed wings (MK, Apla, Azanla), the aim being to take on and defeat the apartheid government. Somewhere along the line collective decisions were made that negotiations were better than war, hence the "compromise constitution". NOT all parties agreed to this arrangement, unfortunately they were the minority so the decision remained in force (like in a normal democracy) and CODESA was concieved, giving birth to what is now Freedom Day.

It's wrong for AZAYO to blame Nelson Mandela for a collective decision; calling him names is just pure contempt and goes against the founding principles of AZAPO.

HANDS OF MANDELA!

Mandela fought for the right for every South African to be able to chose a government of their choice at the poll station without fear.

Mandela DID NOT FIGHT for money to be transferred to every black soul in this country. Mandela expected black people to take advantage of the freedom that had been given to them to uplift themselves. He said that above all things, education is your greatest asset to survival and success.

Sadly the organization of Mandela was hijacked by gangsters that have robbed the coffers. Now that all the money is gone and stored in bank accounts in Switzerland, Cuba and Shanghai, the ANC is now been cornered by the masses and the ANC is now using their puppet mouth pieces like NUMSA and the ANCYL to divert the blame on Wh!te Capital.

The ANC took a loan that they would never pay the people back and used wh!te wealth as security.

"Any form of political freedom which does not touch on proper distribution of wealth will be meaningless. Whites have locked up within a small minority of themselves, the greater proportion of the country's wealth, and if we have a mere change of face of those in governing positions, what is likely to happen is that black people will continue to be poor, and we will get a few blacks filtering through into the so called bourgeoisie and our society will be ran almost as of yesterday."

Mandela did not have a choice. If he did not agree to terms that suited the NATS, 1994 wouldn't have happened. Instead, there would have been full blown war, and the people with the most weapon power would have won. Sure, the Russians would have provided many weapons to the revolution, but then they'd become masters, and they're mostly white too.
What intrigues me most is all the talk about Hani. I've always wondered what Derby-Lewis and the dude with the difficult name got out of kil.ling him. Now it seems more and more like a plot somewhere from deep within the ruling ranks to prevent him from preventing them having luxury lifestyles in the future.

"Before taking the stand, the president said he had grave reservations about the unprecedented order for him to appear in court because it might open floodgates by which all presidential decisions might be challenged and government undermined." - Nelson Mandela. He didn't make those decisions as an individual, people must understand that there is the NEC, and our major problem was also exiles having input on negotiations, having not taken time to study/observe the black man's position then, hence the Sibusiso Bhengu's came and implemented education systems that were being piloted wherever they copied them.

After seeing the heading, I went straight to the comments bcoz I know how much luv we have for uTata so I wanted real to see what ppl will say. After reading most of the comments, I decided to google for the CODESA agreement. Though it does not give much details on what was discussed and agreements, I am convinced that there are some decision that were taken back then for the betterment of the country.

What I noticed was that, the negtiations were about to reach the stand still untill the death of Chris Hani. The NP then allowed Mandela and ANC to dectate terms bcoz of how Mandela handled the Chris Hani issue.

The problem we are facing is that the current ANC leadership never had a plan of how to transform from the brick Mandela and company has laid to sustain the economy of the country.

Its actually the other way round. We sold Madiba out. When he came out of prison, he said: "I stand before you as a humble servant." He reiterated that he was prepared to pay the highest price in fighting for both bl@ck and wh!te domination.

Now we have repaid him for the time that he spent in Robben Island by looting the State coffers, corruption, racism disguised as liberalism, tribalism (100% Z.ulu boy/ X.hosa boy, crime, dysfunctional education system and the list is endless.

Let us remember that he did his best and he left the ANC and government in sound health and now patient ANC and government is in intensive care unit and arrogantly do not want to accept that it is dying a slow painfull death.

Azapo must leave Madiba alone and concentrate on building the party that is in political wilderness and stop being irrelevant and insensitive.

Interesting figures, I wonder how much of that spending power is debt accumilated by the blacks compared to white debt. I think they is a defference between having money and spending power as access to credit as most South Africans do. How much of that spending power does the blacks own as money they have compared to the debt they take to buy.

I couldn’t agree more:

I APOLOGISE FOR those who are blinded by ignorance on this matter .

Corruption started under the Mandela administration .e.g Tokyo and Cyril multi millions mostly from BEE deals.
In his home town he lives like the white man on his farm, yet his neighbours live in extreme poverty....
I didn’t see much change as he moved from Soweto to Sand ton .

If Mandela didn’t sell us out, how come he has not comment on the high level of corruption from ANC official over the years as he is well respected....

Why : because HE IS JUST A CIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK...........

Keep in mind it’s not only Mandela who suffered during the fight for freedom...........

If someone remains neutral about known BAD situation, it becomes obvious which side is that person taking.

The truth shall set you free….

Well i see that we have different views on life and therefore we will not agree on this one....firstly i do not believe in luck or fortune as you put it....i believe in putting in the work to succeed, having changed my circumstances after being orphaned at the age of 13 and being raised by me sister who was 16 at the time, having gone to bed on an empty stomach on some nights, being a child of an alcoholic father who terrorised us as children... see i had a choice...either to let my circumstances define me or define myself...i chose the latter cause i did not want to be a victim of my circumstances.....my point here is that we were all born in those circumstances but most of us chose to define our own paths when freedom was gained....this is not being cruel but stating a simple fact..... we choose our paths in this life and work hard at determining a path for our journey.

By the way i also do my part in helping others, the woman who helps to keep my house together, who looks after my child as i am trying to make sure that he has a better future can attest to that, so will her son who i contribute towards his education since he completed his matric in 2010 and therefore i ask that you do not accuse me of not caring when i do not accept laziness. I probably practise more UBUNTU than you ever will but i chose do it in a way that will assist people rather than enable them to not get up and do it for themselves(lazy).

I have identified two more candidates that i will sponsor from 2013 in furthering their studies but i have made it perfectly clear to them that...what they put in to ensure that they succeed with their matric year will determine me assisting them as i WILL NOT invest my resources on people who are not willing to put in the work. The is NO FREE lunch in this life and i want these young people that i am assisting to understand that and i want them to know that they are not their circumstances.

You cannot blame anyone for your failure in this life....NO ONE!

It was alsways collective in the ANC, and even when it was very diffuclt for uTata to consult with the NEC of the ANC then he make sure that he speaks to one and two ppl who was in the NEC of the burned ANC. I repeat even in difficult situation he has never ever take any decision that concern the majority of the ppl with consulting with one or two of the ANCNEC

The ANC had a brilliant plan called GEAR.

But GEAR cannot work when those running the show are stealing the resources required to finance GEAR.

The ANC took a loan that they knew they would NEVER EVER pay back.
Over the past 18 years, the top 300 in the ANC has stolen 100s of billions of rands..........................the money is now gone.................our economy is not growing anywhere near as fast as it should be to uplift the black majority. The ANC has created a welfare uneducated state to keep itself and the top 300 with all the wealth and power it wants. Ofcourse the money comes from wh!te monopoly capital and other investments which is why the top 300 will defend monopoly capital as long as monopoly capital stays out of politics.

Wether it belongs to 3 politicians or 5 million middle-class members, the facts are starting to state things quite obviously. The power to enrich people on the ground is not on the onus of the white man anymore. Its now in the hands of the black man.

What all the calls of 'expropriation' are showing, is that instead of distributing wealth, the black capital owners would rather take more, from diminishing white capital, then actually trickling down from the greater caches of black capital.

That's why I asked that question as I understand spending power can mean more debt than actual wealth and people mistake this as having money or so called Black Diamonds, very few have money and the rest are living with debt and untill they pay it of the bank owns thier houses and assets. I stay in Kempton Park and have no false illution that all whites have money, believe me I see poor white people all the time and some even homeless in Kempton Park CBD, also within Kempton Park residential you get this residential flats or granny flats were some of the struggling young white couples stay and most struggle to pay thier monthly rent.

The black man didn't worry about houses for many moons after that, as the earth was his house, so it stand to reason that Africa in general will have a huge backlog in houses compared to other continents. But yes, I agree with you, we must start looking at how to save this country for our children, and theirs, and to continue comparing the one colour's riches to the other colour riches will do nothing to change the situation. The building of RDP's also cannot keep up with the demand for RDP's, so we, as a nation, will have to find another solution.

Blackstone.lebs - Thanks for the info:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/29415893/97-01-31-M-G-New-Evidence-in-Hani-Death-Plot-ANC-Mil-Int-Knew-Did-Nothing


"The documents raise the question why MI, prewarned, had done nothing to prevent Hani's death. More surprisingly, they claim an unidentified group of African National Congress operatives had ahand in Hani's death."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The last edition of the defunct New Nation, spelled it out that a meeting held on the 8th of April 1993, where Joe Modise and Thabo Mbeki were present sealed Hani's fate. It also alleged that Hani and Waluz met face to face at the Carlton Centre. Also if one digs deep, who gave the order for Hani's bodyguard to be off, when the right wingers were baying for his blood, because a research revealed that he was the second popular leader after Madiba?

Calling each other by tr.ibes depends on the context, you said "including leshang.aane la-Ngobeni", if I may ask, isn't there a difference between Le.pedi and Mo.pedi?

It is not a capitalists fault that some people in our society aspire to work in a mine shaft...................and who are you to say that a person hitting a rock all day has harder work than a CEO who has sleepless nights trying to run a global company in uncertain times?

There is no skill in hitting a rock, im sure even a Ch.impanzee can be taught this skill. Why should people who aspire for such a low skilled unproductive job be entitled to the assets of someone else who took the time to really aspire to be something great?

changeoverdue

Today I have to make a contribution, straight to it, Tata started secret talks with the previous government in 1981 if i am not mistaken till late eighties then came the codesa meetings in Eastrand a mere formality in my opinion. The then democtratic government took office in 1994 and there came the window of opportunity 2thirds majority we could've changed the constitution but we didn't, second elections i think we still had the 2thirds majority still we didn't. Secondly the biggest mistake ever made by P.W.Botha was to underestimate the black youth of south africa and he lived to regret it, point being when the ANC took power they made a similler mistake by ignoring the state of education which is almost disfunctional to say the least and that act alone undermined the black youth of south africa and the future of the country as a whole. The prime minister of Japan once said Africans will always be slaves because they are sprinters and can't run marathons. we think and live for today and we never invest in our communities and in the future of our children hence our leaders are now failing to invest in education which is only way to ensure that we breed intellegent leaders maybe not now but in years to come and those years would have been almost now had we begun in 1994. But guess what we are still throwing insults at one another even we now have plartforms like these to engage each other all you hear slurs and curses instead progressive robust debates. Mandela is no saint but I AINT JUDGIN THE MAN TILL I WALK ON HIS SHOES. ANCLY is calling for free education instead of quality high standard education for our children is what will sustain this country going forward. Some have Land first and all will follow forgeting that we are fighting a sychological warfare therefore it should be QUALITY EDUCATION FIRST AND ALL ELSE WILL TAKE OF CARE OF ITSELF. In as much as there is some truth in AZAPO's statement bear in mind that article by Winnie Mandela which was quickly swept under the carpet by the NEC, so the isn't new at all and as udults we have to make hard decisions and@times even we are not proud of the things we have done and Mandela is no exception. AZAPO is not taking us anywhere with this. Let the government reed itself of corruption, invest in sport, education and importantly our culture. I mean these guys receive qualified audits year in and year out and it's normal. I quess we should blame Mandela for that too. Delegates at conferences continue to vote for mediocre leaders and that must be Mandela's fault too I could go on and on but here it is HANDS OFF MANDELA ESPECIALY WHEN HE CAN NO LONGER DEFEND HIMSELF.

Very true there's one thing people must know about human beings in their culture classes.
Black people are very few who has access into credit
and most white people are swiming to debts with most things you see enjoying and you think we are the worst
