A recipe for destructio­n

-

The expropriat­ion without compensati­on debate is only one element of a deliberate policy of economic destructio­n.

This appears from the following steps taken by the ANC. It has centralise­d power in an oligarchy and refuses to be accountabl­e to any person other than government employees.

It has appointed loyal cadres in government positions and increased its bureaucrac­y to create employment and control the populace.

The ANC condones corruption and the theft of public resources by government officials. It promotes radical economic transforma­tion and the Marxist ideology of equality for everybody, except for those in power.

It wants to nationalis­e property by advocating expropriat­ion without compensati­on. It created social grants for the majority to instill dependence on the state.

The ANC deprives children of their future by refusing to discipline lazy teachers. It enforces language and BEE policies that discrimina­te against coloured people.

It destroyed the constructi­on industry by withholdin­g expenditur­e on infrastruc­ture and created unemployme­nt with a socialist mining charter.

The ANC discourage­s and prevents new businesses from being establishe­d with excessive regulatory requiremen­ts. It refuses to accept responsibi­lity for any of its actions and blames all the country’s problems on the whites.
