So we should listen to the wise words of Nelson Mandela when he advised us that if the new Regime does to us what the apartheid regime did, then we should do to the new Regime what we did to the apartheid regime. Overthrow their corrupt asses.
With the national debt standing at nearly two trillion Rand, and the country's economy being given BBB- status, it does not take a rocket fuel scientist to work out that stability in the finance department could be crucial right about now. Maybe if you are a nuclear power scientist it could be different and if you are trying to push through plans to buy nuclear power plants and masses of aeroplanes your country doesn't really need, then maybe there is a different understanding that I can't fathom right now.
The excuse that Nene is to be placed in control of the BRICS bank that is destined to be set up in Johannesburg, and that being the reason he was deposed, makes me cringe and beg the question as to why Pravin Gordhan could not have been sent as the candidate?
In any case, to give the position to David Van Rooyen set alarm bells ringing around the world and as we saw, sent our weak currency into a downward spiral and our cripple economy stumbling down the stairs. I can get with the idea that we will no longer be evaluating ourselves in line with the Dollar, pund and Euro and that we will evaluate ourselves by the Yuan, Ruble and Rupee. But the only reason I can imagine why an intelligent man like Jacob Zuma would pull such a move would be to keep us all in a state of economic slavery. Physical slavery is too much trouble because in physical slavery the master has to provide for the slaves food and shelter, whereas in economic slavery the stupid slaves buy their own food and pay rent for their own shelter.
Now I have respect for the ANC, the council of elders and the National Executive Council. Even Tito Mboweni brought into question the handling of this issue from the NEC level. If this does not bring about radical change then I am sure we can all start growing cabbage, because that is all we will get to eat for the next ten years.
But relax man, this is a small side issue, Saudi Arabia announced an Islamic coalition to fight terrorism, I was surprised to see Turkey amongst the list of countries banding together to fight the terrorists. Does this mean that they are going to buy their oil while they shoot them? Is it still going to be a three sided war that shares allies between the three sides?
The only thing to remember is that war is never fought for freedom, it is only fought for money.
