SA economy designed to serve foreign interests: Moeletsi Mbeki

Unless South Africa changes its trajectory and re-industrialises the economy to accommodate the poor, the angry masses are on the verge of unleashing a violent uprising against the ruling elite. These are the comments made by economist, businessman and political analyst Moeletsi Mbeki addressing a Xubera Institute for Research and Development gathering in Durban. Mbeki said from the day of the National Party government the economy of South Africa was designed to serve the British mining companies who make billions of profits, and that has not changed under the ANC government in power. Moeletsi Mbeki, Deputy chair of the South African Institute of International Affairs and political analyst joins us virtually.

The unequal society may have been designed by the British, but it was overly emphasized by the Apartheid government, and perpetuated by the ANC government. All of them failed us.

[@brianclement2329]

That is true. So, it's time for change. If you keep on doing what you keep on doing then you will keep on getting what you keep on getting. You can only choose between DA (look at their great municipal track record and national policies) and Action SA (no track record yet so you have to look at their policies). Thats the only way to fix this country, that is heading towards a failed state, and grow the economy. Other parties either want full state control of everything (you will never be free) or are too small to govern.

This is the socialist lie with which they maintain power at the expense of the poor.

However, when you redistribute wealth through taxation, you are taking money from those who produce value, and give it to those who don't.

[@Hannodb1961]

@@kabelomkhabela4766 Yes. That was because in the imperial age, we've had mercantilism as economic theory, which thought that wealth is generated at the expense of someone else. This is partly what drove the imperialist system, of which Apartheid was a relic. America had a different economic model, and after 1945, they replaced the imperialist mecantilism theory with their own, which turned out to be amazingly successful in countries like Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and even Europe. Africa and India opted for socialism instead, and the results were very underwhelming. Modern capitalist theory understands that excluding people from the economic process actually makes society poorer, not richer, and if everybody could reach their full productive potential, its actually improves the quality of life for everyone. This is why the narrative of the left is so fatally wrong: The rich in South Africa doesn't want to keep the masses poor, they actually _wants_ to see the black masses advance and become wealthier, because that will create a wealthier, safer, and more stable society for everyone. The Johann Ruperts and Patrice Motsepes of South Africa is not the enemy, they're the people who are creating the job opportunities. We want more of them, not less. This is why BEE laws, AA laws, anti-foreigner laws, too powerful labor unions and the mountain of business red tape is what causing South Africa to remain poor. We need to abandon all these laws that restrict business activity, and rather invest in education and skills development. Instead of telling businesses who they can and cannot employ, we should rather provide incentives for businesses to up skill unskilled workers. Also, we need to drop the red tape to make it easier for people to start new businesses. We need to replace social grants for unemployed people with social grants for startup businesses, and reward businesses for employing more people. Basically, we need to do the exact opposite of what the ANC have been doing the last 27 years. We need economic growth, not economic redistribution.

@@marinaschreiber8133 I'm sorry, but subsistence farming is poverty, no matter how you look at it. If that wasn't the case, we wouldn't be experiencing the biggest urban migration in world history. The modern economy pushes people to be specialists in their trade, rather than to be a jack of all trades, and that is what creates wealth. You _don't have_ to do everything yourself, because you'll do a crappy job of it. Rather, you can go to the person that does it best and get a proper job done. Sure, if you're wealthy enough you could buy a plot of land and go organic, but it is the modern economy that allows you to do that in reasonable comfort. If you truly believe the nonsense you wrote, why do you have a computer/cellphone with which to write it on the internet, and which is only possible because of the very system you seem to despise? Consumerism does not _have_ to lead to a debt trap. That is not the fault of the system, it is the fault of people who don't get basic math: You can't spend more than you earn. You buy the really big things on debt: like cars and houses, but the rest: If you can't afford it, you safe up on it. The system can do perfectly fine if people just stop trying to keep up with the Joneses.

I agree with Mr Mbeki. However, one cannot design the economy around the poor. The focus must be on value creation - look at China or any growing economy. The rest of the world is our market and we need to provide value to that market. This we can only do if we have economic sectors that deliver products that the world market need and want. Mining is one such sector and even mining no longer accommodates unskilled labour because mining methods have changes. This also holds true for farming and any other industry. These changes require an economic and socio-political structure that promotes real development of our people and our economy. Liberation and economic emancipation can only be achieved through a strong industrialised economy that provide value adding jobs to the peoples of this country. Our current trajectory does not bode well to achieve this.

@@innocentgoitseone3715 so you don't think that the profit made in South African mines is reinvested into the country?!? Come on, mining companies are always obliged to invest back into the people because everyone is aware of the Damage caused mining - so by law they can't operate unless they reinvest their profits in the people. South Africa does diamond cutting as well. There's no difference my friend. Your country is being exploited by South African mafias. The same South African mafias who represent the West.

The Rothschilds banking system at the Genoa federal council for reserve banks in independant countries buy the banks mandate is not subject to the country they claim to represent. With our gold held as security they've been piliging SA and many African countries. Sadly their money talks and their local agents will resort to extreme measures to ensure their hold on supposedly third world SA. The securies Act of 1933 further ensured the robbery through taxation offices worldwide to collect taxes by virtue of one's birth certificate which is a roman europian system. Thus the banks rule and the SA Reserve bank see to the needs of private banks in return keeps the cycle of debt and interest going so we stay poor and loyal to our masters - The Banks,...our financial, commercial, religious, judicial system is built on this system. Deception and exploitation. My sincere appreciation to Mr Mbeki for his boldness and honesty and integrity.

[@Coder-fz4gg]

You making valid points. Countries without the reserve bank are at war? I'm glad i discovered this truth when i was doing Economics in high school. I built my career around self-reliant, independent and personal liberties knowing that if i fail or self-delete, no one cares and that nobody is going to come and save me. The disappointment exist because some people put reliance to institutions like churches, courts, government , corporates etc about their own welfare/survival.

people with brains are targeted for the wealth they make, then they get taxed for the wealth they make, so many professionals with the brains leave. Many with brains that have made a success of themselves and are white are also targeted by bigotted people as you can see all over the comment section. Remember, a working economy automatically helps the poor. but expecting to solve all poverty immediately collapses economies, its a wish that crushes countries.
