BNC#6: Frans Cronje - Don’t despair, big opportunities to surface post-Election'24

[@christinadewet8302]

Thank you to all the good men and woman who stayed and are still working hard to make the changes happen. Well done!

[@TheFinanceBud]

Listened to a few of this guys presentations and I must admit he really knows his stuff, no emotional/biased waffling but research and analysis based perceptions and arguments

[@Spyk27632]

Research can also be subjective.

[@thabomazwayi4422]

Thank you very much Dr Cronje. It is white people like you that South Africa needs. Pure understanding of where we come from, where we are and where we might be heading. I strongly support your research findings, black South Africans are not anti white, power hungry people spread this notion. Black South Africans have embraced racial differences, the said reality like you said, rural South Africans have that connection to the ANC which they will never just let go, and they every right to love the ANC. However there are many people my age who don't relate to the ANC and want to see better government. Your findings echo 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

How can he defend the system when all political parties in parliament gets millions in government funding paid by taxpayers whether they vote for the parties or not whether taxpayers like it or not? For 30 years parties gets the millions in government funding without having anything to show for it. They have allowed the ruling party to loot SA and they are supporting the SDG's of UNelected international organization UN, excuse the pUN agenda2030 and agenda21

It's very noticeable the anc has run out of money. Posters are mainly up in the rural areas. Hardly see any in the cities. Anc is banking on rural votes. Opposition parties need to show their faces and spread their voices there as well.

[@felicitymabudusha4761]

Some causes for hope: 1. We have a functioning political system, meaning that elections are substantially fair and the results reflect the voters wishes. 2. Organized big business is becoming more outspoken about the governments poor economic policies. 3. We have a substantially free press and freedom of expression. 4. The state has become too weak to enforce some of its more stupid ideas e.g. NHI.

[@andreschalkwyk7615]

The arguments for Eskom and Transnet being privatized is not what South Africans need. Yes, we are now getting power and transport restored, but at what cost, as the private market will increase the prices? Unless Eskom and Transnet places a Cap on profits. Government should produce cheap electricity and cheap transport, not charge an upfront fee for the private sector to try and profit.

Interesting deliverance! Thank you Dr

[@stu4umybru777]

Much needed perspective. I'm so tired of opposition party campaigns and the media framing this coming election as if it hangs on a knife edge and depending on which way it falls our country will either go on to true reform or become irretrievably lost. It may do but that is not a guarantee and we shouldn't miss the woods for the trees.

[@DENNISMARTINTOPKIN-fz6ie]

This guy knows his politics

[@crispinswainstonharrison9042]

Very similar to Zim where rural voters keep ZANU In power.

[@1986aurora]

At what point though do those who oppose the likes of those parties stand up and say no more , no more failures and suffering due to the ones who vote a certain way and destroy the lives of many many others?

[@vleiratfilms2020]

Not sure Hermanus which is perhaps the victim of its own success, appeals. But what Frans Cronje is saying certainly does. The fragmentation of our country he mentions bubbles beneath every public denial and media propaganda message. South Africans really have to rev up to be enthusiastic about national stuff .. only the springboks get that. As communities become more clearly identified and cooperation is seen as an advantage, I think we’ll see some interesting changes in our social political and economic lifestyles. I like what this man is not saying. 🤔

[@sakkiekibido1665]

This guy is saying what you wanna hear and without a doubt is easing your ears. ANC will be under 40% Between 30-39% EFF will be 10-15% MK will be 5-9% Thats your coalition above P.A will be a possible decider and the DA will be at fault, because of their big headed mentally of wanting to be the leader of MCP and not wanting P.A to be part of the MCP

[@marleneclough3173]

PA are not reliable. They switch sides all the time you can't trust them sadly

[@carolibouwer7170]

I’m also concerned that the formation of the MK party was strategic on the ANC’s part. Time will tell. Yet, I’ve hope for our country. South Africans across the board are of a different kind. South Africa is all we have, we just have to make it work. We simply need to realize that we can’t leave it to the politicians.

[@michaeljcoleman7126]

I think most 'die hards' who still maintain their roots is this wonderful wonderful country, will be hoping that the 2 political parties, who openly advocate hatred & violence to achieve their goals, will not get enough support in the upcoming elections to be of any threat to a possible coalition government 🤔🤔

[@1986aurora]

Thats exactly what they want. Thats only reason anc have agreed to work with certain other parties. They all there for the opportunity to get their big gat greedy evil fingers over the finances south africans afford them.

Yes, nothing had changed since legalised piracy of first Joint stock company, 400 years ago such as the Dutch East Indian company (VOC); East Indian Company, De Beers and Anglo American that colonised and formed brutal monopolies. I like the cheekiness: we can extract favourable trade agreements by extorting and exploiting the geographic position of Cape of Good hope from the USA and the Chinese.

[@sandybezuidenhout]

So impressed. This sounds like reality and makes sense. Hallelujah. Never underestimate the brain power and common sense in good old S A.

[@violethart4828]

👍Best

[@innovruptly1769]

Exactly, anything goes! Private security = mafia-style pay for protection. The object of a Police Service is that Every citizen, regardless of their creed and means, are served by SAPS without fear nor favour. If all the corrupt capital was diverted away from Private Security Mafia-style operations and ploughed into SAPS, there might be something to be proud of. Men and Women who are bound to serve by a common Oath, not incentivised by Profit! Sure, private security has its place BUT venturing into the public protection and roles bordering on National key points, that is a stretch too far. There is a desparate need, regardless of current circumstances, for State Run services. The Liberal approach is to ensure that the State coffers divert funds from the Nation into a few private hands.

[@HarmonicRezolution]

I think it's a bit naive to think of people serving their country, not profit, when we live in such a non-homogenous country. About the only thing where we see eye to eye is rugby and making money for oneself. Profit is merely the ability to take care of your family, or pay your own rent, or afford a girlfriend. That is glue. The sad truth is that people do not put massive personal effort in unless there is a personal incentive. A shared incentive is enjoyed by the lazy, not the hard workers, who quickly become lazy when they find no personal benefit from their personal sacrifice while the lazy enjoy their fruits of labour.

[@IAMALLMUSIC]

Good to have a refreshingly optimistic take about our beloved country. However, the potential downside of him being wrong is great, dire in fact. A talk like this tends to placate the discerning among us, lulling ppl into the sense that "everything will be OK". Just look at the looting that took place in KZN 2 years ago. Imagine that on a more national scale or even half of that? For anyone considering his talk, consider this, what is the cost of what he is saying being wrong?

[@user-hlumelo]

It's fair to say that Frans Cronje lives in a dream world. Unfortunately, his insights are a reflection of millions of others.

[@pippadora]

I know for a fact that Eskom is still selling energy to Mozambique - most new housing up for rent in Matola, Moz , are stating on their rental/description of amenities show that the energy provider is Eskom. Proof is there for all to see... shameful, considering that just over the border back in SA, we suffer daily LS for up to 5h daily....😮

[@minakuru5045]

I counted at least 10 burps from Frans Cronje's generous lunch today. He speaks with such confidence and belief, that one would believe he has a crystal ball to predict the future, with guaranteed accuracy. His been paid to send a postive meesage. My "crystal ball" says there is going to be unwanted violence during and after this election.

[@bradleyrowlett]

I would tend to agree with you somewhat. There is too much at stake for the ANC and I am battling to believe they will be gracious in defeat and simply hand over the keys. SA also has the MK party to deal with which is another story in itself. Eish!

To fix things will take decades, that is if you can change the voting culture in SA, which I don't believe can be changed. So that is what I am on about.

High energy input costs regulations and destructive policys are putting strain on the economy The way i see it is the banks are in very bad place if money creation expands poor people will struggel to keep up with inflasion If banks keep tight the economy will slow leading to mass insolvencyś The policy makers act in hinde sight this time they will respond when it is to late they also risk the era they expanded created bubbels in asset prices if this is marked to market the banks cannot trust the colateral on their books wich makes for very intresting times Hungry poor people will not be of moderate opinion
