This is how you are stealing the economic freedom of the youth of this country Ms minister.
Economic Freedom = the freedom to work in your chosen occupation, for which you need quality education.

Good question. Blaks got this tolerant for mediocrity because everytime the DA or a white critisized someone in government not doing his job, we felt an attack on our collective blackness, our self esteem. So we dismissed it and said: look at the racist whites who do not love us. Never did we think first about the future of our own children.

The problem is that we have a mentality that says, 'if is for government, then I dont care'. This attitude is possessed by most public servants and ANC deployees such as Mninisters, MECs, Mayors and Councillors. But when they give speeches they always make superficial impressions that they really mean business - when all they want is money for themeselves. We need a new mindset that says 'Government' means 'you and me, your child, your brother, your mother, your friend, etc.' We need a revolution that sensitise people that government is not some animal to be milked of money. This poisonous mindset results from the fact that there is no leadership in SA, ANC has been hijacked by thieves - greedy selfish gangsters who could not make a living anywhere else! Inspect most leaders of the ANC and you will see that they were either teachers or had no real careers before joining ANC in order to have an income and wealth! Report Abuse
