South Africa Is In A DIRE Crisis. This Is Why - Vusi Thembekwayo

[@juliannaorgane4919]

We need more intelligent thinkers like Vusi in this country.

[@stuartpalmer3793]

Vusi seems like a man of intelligence & integrity, if only we had more of his calibre in our leadership .

[@danieldpa8484]

Vusi seems like a very smart and well spoken guy. Maybe it´s fair to say that he represents the leadership skill that the country is missing right now.

[@RicksPhatPharm-vw2lb]

Unless blacks sign 92 referendum land rights for whites and coloureds and honor THAT, nothing blacks do will fix anything. Currently the very people who voted for inclusion are 100% excluded and the masses don't have the right to pick and choose where everyone resides. Not after 30 years of complete oppression from them, the masses now need to ACCEPT that they must self determine and that liberal left communism isn't going to fly.without this mindshift of everyone not only blacks are relevant nothing will change.

[@nathanielkgobe427]

That's exactly hitting the nail on the head, the agenda of making sure that it is not fixed is exactly what we see happening in SAFRICA. My question then would be who are they, and why would they choose to suffer the entire SAFRICA are they captured or by doing this they've been promised to benefit much more than being honest allow things to flow as they should be? I can go on and on and on with questions bcs i really can't fathom the kind of Leadership we have, who would allow such a nonesencical nefarious thing to happen if they are truly compatriot.

[@brynstephens4624]

Vusi is a real gentelman and an example of what man aspires to become. I just wish he and his coleagues could get together to run this country.

[@billyork9588]

Vusi is a clear thinking individual who looks at the entire problem and is not blinded by anything. One of those rare individuals who can really think clearly and is articulate on the problem. As he points out the problems are multi faceted and not simple. He has really hit the nail on the head when he points to the failure of education as being one of the biggest problems we face. Very few students ( 1 in 300) seem to think of how they can utilize the information in a way to create a product that will empower them and create employment opportunity's for others. Most of these 'graduates' are not capable of innovative thinking and have never been encouraged to think in this manner - which is a failing on the part of the educational system. We need people and thinkers like Vusi so desperately in our education system to motivate our kids to be the very best that they can be - not for others so much as for themselves to generate that pride of their own self worth and capability and not to put up with incompetency. All the hurts and wrongs of the past need to be put aside, as must the hurts and wrongs of the present also need to be put aside and a concerted effort made to nurture our children into a bright capable generation that looks to the future with innovative and secure ability. Thank you Vusi for your valuable input. Keep well - I always enjoy your sharing of what you see and how clearly you put that information without any bias.

[@GiftTrevor]

Absolutely.👌 Vusi has a mind of his own. The way he sees and acts out is always with precision.

What Are We AS A COUNTRY GOING to Do ABOUT THIS GO SHOW Them. AT the polls 😮

[@Van_Wilder]

@@yusufkhan2116 I cannot give you a realistic answer as to what the solution is. My opinion, this country needs to shutdown (uprise) in unison (united), coming together in a way that stretches beyond colour, culture or social economic divide (I’m not convinced this will ever happen as we are far too divided as a nation. However, if we were able to do so, then we should have the power and momentum to make our voices heard and collectively say “enough is enough” and force the change that’s needed. That being said, it won’t solve Eskom or our energy crisis. I believe what other experts have said a while back and that is…it will take 8-10 years to fully restore Eskom to its glory days BUT ONLY from the point when corruption has been finally rooted out and stopped. Whilst corruption is still alive within Eskom, we will never recover and never make progress. With that in mind, do the maths. Every politician that tells us they have a plan to fix Eskom in a few months or few short years are talking absolute shite. The way that SOE has been looted, it will take that 8-10 years timeframe.

The kind of person South Africa deserves! I love the country! I left because my family passed away and others, reluctantly had to go and live abroad. Since always one thing is constant and that is the way that South Africa has always been portrayed. People left, then came back, then died, others gave up! Why is this? I went to other countries and EVERY time when I came back, reiterated what a stunning country it is! On earth my forefathers came upon it and there’s nothing like it! President Nelson Mandela was everything that represented the good we together, were. But he should have been a Foreign Affairs representative. He was a huge MAN but fell in to the category of the Dunning-Kruger classification with a dash of Peter’s Principle! Never the practical, savvy, experienced, in the actuality of problems and solutions. The rest, bad to worse. We’re left with too many pundits with too many interests to be validated. As a half -Portuguese, 6 generations born and bred in our Continent I have so much more to brag about my country! It’s a diamond. It’s potential outstanding! Gentlemen you can do it! Please please move on! Thank you.

He said the requirements to vote a J.C. certificate or own property. If the requirements for life were the ability to till the soil and read the Bible and did not meetowni g property because the Boer father controlled the property and reading the Bible did not cover the educational requirement.

[@insidiousantimason2025]

@@joan5856 you have no idea, do you? 😆 It’s not your grandparents who Jan Smuts sent to fight Europe’s war, right? In 1941 Jan Smuts ordered the destruction of hundreds historical buildings like the Wonderboom forts in an effort to erase the Boer. If not for the Boer the British would have wiped you and everyone else in Southern Africa off the map and from history. 1912 Bantu education laws was enforced by the British, not the Boer stupid. Racial Segregation was implemented by the British, not the Boer fool. The Bloukraans massacre, It was the Boer who stood between the Zulu war tribes and everyone else in South Africa. The battle of Bloodriver, the Boer didn’t attack the Zulu’s, did they? Even during apartheid it was Boer soldiers who protected everyone else from MK and the ANC when they were terrorizing South Africa, a Mandela Necklace was never used to burn a Boer alive, was it? Who do you think the ANC was targeting? Do you think Jan Smuts gave a Fock about you or any other South African? You truly have no idea...

If not for these, white ppl are perfectly happy to enjoy the best this country has, and black ppl relegated to the outskirts The only way for the black man to get ahead is through tenders and politics, because the private sector puts a ceiling above them and sidelines them. This is WHY they keep voting for the ANC. White ppl still own most of the prime land and are happy to see blacks far from the economic hubs. The racism in Cpt. These things all play a role...

I agree with Vusi. I think one of the reasons we do not have proper leadership is because of our ancient electoral system. In particular our gangster / mafia style political party system. In my view no political party member - or anyone affiliated to any political party in any way - should be allowed into public office. Populism should be replaced by quality. Cabinet ministers should be elected by members of the particular fraternity, based on qualifications and experience. Parliament should consist of representatives geographically elected. No political parties involved. Local government should be local. The President should be elected by the entire population.
