Let’s unite to get out of ANC misery

Ours is yet another sad tale of failed African leadership. It’s astounding how history keeps repeating itself in Africa post-independence; it’s like watching a horror movie for 60 years.

SA is being stolen right under our noses and the perpetrators of this evil crime are conveniently blaming white monopoly capital. They use all types of excuses, including that state capture should include the period from 1652!

Never have we found ourselves in this predicament where the perpetrators of this evil continue to use land as bait, and race peddling. You would swear that the perpetrators are not in power.

They have recently vowed to change the country’s name just to divert our attention from the rape of our country.

We have changed street and building names and statues have fallen but poverty has not fallen and the majority of peoples’ lives remain unchanged.

We have become perpetual complainers claiming that the economy of this country is in the hands of a few whites but it’s becoming clear that the economy of this country is sitting at Saxonwold and Dubai. The ANC has truly outdone itself by destroying what would have become the best African country.

Black people need to emulate the Afrikaners; get together and get themselves out of this ANC misery. Let’s buy mines for ourselves and help change our course. Our education system is the worst sham – maths and science are dead. How do we hope to innovate like other Africans are doing? Entrepreneurship is dead. Post-independence, African leaders focused on the white man and what he had done, but post-colonialism Afrikaners focused on their own radical development and the results speak for themselves.

They never focused on bringing statues of the British down, nor on British atrocities and institutions; they started their own things from scratch and created a culture of hard work.

In 23 years we are being fed excuses daily about colonialism and apartheid. Sad the ANC never learnt anything.
