South African government is failing people

The newspapers are inundated with cases that are hardly ever solved, writes

eon Louw at one time said: “The government is just appallingly bad at everything it does … everything that is a government function is in shambles” – medical care, education, transport, electricity, etc. The list is endless.

The failure to create jobs has resulted in a spike in crime and violence, looting and arson.

Vital infrastructure has been vandalised and, in most cases, destroyed – buses and train coaches burnt, then the people complain and protest because there is no transport.

Is this just African logic? The newspapers are inundated with disciplinary hearings, court cases and ongoing inquiries, etc involving state officials. Cases that are hardly ever resolved.

Our police “service” is struggling with corruption and is largely ineffective. Many people don’t report crime anymore.

In 2013, the World Net Daily reported “more people are murdered in one week under African rule than died under detention of the Afrikaner government over the course of roughly four decades”.

Failure by the government to deliver on promises has resulted in more squatter camps.

Thousands scrounge in rubbish dumps for food while the elite flaunt their wealth in the news media.

There is also the threat to disarm law-abiding citizens while criminals run free.

Will South Africa survive? Only time will tell.
