We have educated people who worked as ministers for the last 30 years, but their education did nothing positive for us but destroyed everything that existed during the apartheid and established and developed nothing. Me I can say my confidence is in those who have a vision for our country than those who qualified in their professions which have nothing to do with the ministries of parliament like Angie Motshekga, I was going to appoint General Bantu Holomisa for that ministry not because of qualifications but the experience he has.We dont need qualifications here, just tell me now which university where people taught being presidents and ministers? So I don't see any reson why we have to be worried about education.

How many of those Tertiary qualifications were just “given” after years at a university in the new ZA? I wonder!? Most of them are not worth the paper they are written on. Give me my old std 8 or matric prior to 1990 - I have more common sense than these “newly” University qualified ministers. Bullshit baffles brains!

It amazes me that they are putting so much emphasis on education. Education is important but do you know what, with all their education they have messed up a once thriving country, into a less than junk status. So much for their degrees. They have no heart for the incredible suffering of the black people as long as they are sitting high and dry. No problem with electricity , no worry about the increase of electricity, or petrol or water shortage.

[@darylsearle189]

Very interesting info. Lets get your results based feedback in a year from now and then every year after that. And then tell us what consequences they face for failure. Up to now , they've all given themselves fat increases for no effective production. Degrees mean nothing without positive action. The anc has proved that to everyone. So much so that they should be ashamed of themselves and if they had any honour many should have resigned by now. One of the guys with "only" matric has already kicked off with a bang. Good for him, lets hope it wakes up the rest of the "learned group" to use their esteemed degrees to up lift and serve our people. So far , it appears to me, the degrees have only assisted themselves in their looting and self enrichment.

[@sandilendzuzo5419]

Education especially colonial education does not make those educated in it to think outside the box. It does not make an educated African to think that Africa can be self reliant and self sufficient and do away with exploitative western system. lt rubs in a mind of an African that the Europeans are supreme and their ideas must always be followed. Today the most educated African politicians are the most puppets of the west. Yes education whether colonial or non colonial is conditio sine qua non for leadership because it enhanced logical thinking and lateral thinking. But if one's education does not relate to the problems that you have on the ground, then what is the use to be educated. It if cannot end the filth black South Africans live in what is the use to be educated.? lf it cannot end information shanty settlements millions of black South Africans live in what is it's use,?lf it cannot end crime and grime that our millions of fellow country men live what is it's use? What is a use of education that cannot produce productive skilled youth force that can upswing our economy without relying to foreign exploitative investors. Our government run to lMF World bank for loans when we have minerals to defend us from economic shortfalls but because of systems we have opted for in pleasing the west, we are bound to go to these condansenting counter economic lending schemed that are calculated to keep Africa down, tell me what is the use of claiming our education.
