Glimmy, I am glad you mentioned the Oppenheimers because of Motsepe made his billions in exactly the same way. They got their wealth through strong support by the white nationalist Nat. government back then. Motsepe got the same from a black nationalist ANC government.

I am sorry ro disabuse you about the notion of “ubuntu”. We always talk about it and even boast about it as a virtue yet we seldom walk the talk.

So few people actually live the concept which diminishes our whole nation.I am often ashamed at how our own black brothers exploit the most vulnerable poor black families in the Eastern cape for the sake of profit. How can you sell poisoned peanut butter to small children as part of the state sponsored feeding scheme knowing full well that the feedstock your purchased is contaminated.

The sexual violence against women, let alone babies and girls, is not “ubuntu.”

The reconciliatory talk and walk of Nelson Mandela has done more for this country than all the war, kill, and crush talk of the new leaders of the ANC. The ANC encourages its members to continue with the revolution and the struggle even though THEY are the government of this country. Blame for non-delivery is entirely in their hands. They do not need another 15 years in power. We cannot afford to have them in power for another 15 years if we want any chance at survival and growth for the benefit of all South Africans.

Come on man think about it. There are enough idiots dividing our rainbow nation with their populist exclusive rhetoric. Either we all win or we all lose. Simple as that.

There are many white racists in this country, there are also many other racists, black, Indian, whatever. There are also many Xenophobes, just another form of racism.

One thing I think people should learn from whites from the Apartheid Era. The majority of them had this blind loyalty to the Nats and believed everything they were told. Look where that got us.

Today, ANC supporters are exactly the same. Where will that get us?

The Nats used “The Swart Gevaar” to drive whites into the “Laager” to face the “total onslaught”.

The ANC uses the “Counter-Revolutionary Enemy” to drive people into a “Kraal” so the can continue the “Struggle”

No wonder Kortbroek van Schalkwyk is so happy in the ANC

“For evidence of this, look at the massive decline in the quality of the services delivered by the ANC regime, in terms of SAPS,health, housing, education,etc. Besides, the disenfranchised can be really creative in ******** those being favoured in ways you cannot begin to imagine”.

I am totally against crime towards everything natural.

You talk about services, we didn’t even have that until the ANC came into power. U dont know because u lived in the highly serviced(including patrolled)suburbs. I guess it was for the exclusive few hey1 not the all the citizens of South Africa

Maiphepi,
You know you speak for yourself when you say Eli lived in the serviced suburbs….how do you know??? Just because he speaks and types in a dignified, educated, qualified fashion does not tell us squat about where he lived and what he went through before to-day. You just don’t know it but Eli fought as hard as the next man for a better RSA, but of one thing I’m certain and that is he was never full of hate and deperate to spit on everyone.
We all went through that time period but maybe you were just too young to remember exactly what it was like, and you are now reacting to the fumes of those around you who are still singing songs of hate and of wars.
I would like to ask you what it is that keeps you from thinking with a free mind if you are a free citizen?? Why are you scared to think for yourself. We who blog here and show open minds and have no fear of being contradicted,we who try to blog sense, are all free thinking animals and you are able to distinquish us from the others by the non-militant,non-racist values of respectability which we offer. You may think otherwise, but there are some of us who do not try to draw the worste out of you, but if you bite us, we will retaliate with the type of results which you have already seen.
Now, let me ask you again, what prevents you from blogging with us in a non-racist, non-militant fashion??? Try us and see??

@ Maiphepi:

Again, Skodide is correct – you know nothing about me or my life story. I do not hav to enumerate what we did under the banner of the UDF or what the size of our individual contributions or hardships wer during the struggle. The Malemas of today have no clue what struggle means.

But to get back to your erroneous assertion when you wrote: “You talk about services, we didn’t even have that until the ANC came into power.”

Well I can tell you that even though life was tough in the black townships, people had quality of life through their communities. There was true ubuntu in action in our townships. People helped one another and took care of one another. Children belonged to everyone and were nutured by everyone. There was no child abuse and raping of week-old babies.

Culture, arts and music provided live entertainment and we did not have to watch TVs to know what was happening around us.

We could get message out to all and sundry faster than the internet or mobile phones becasue township dwellers were poor but committed to fighting for their own freedom. The ANC helped externally, but the actual fight was waged internally by ordinary members of the black and white communities. The UDF was never about black domination. This only happened after the exiles got back and they marginalized the UDF leadership to make sure that they would get all the top government posts after 1994.

This was the birth of black nationalist exclusivity as practiced by the ANC today. You must be black and comnected or your were nothing. The gravy train entrenched this view and when people realized that you could go from a security guard or shelf packer to a multi-millionaire overnight, the eternal fight at the feeding trough was on.

To claim that health services were introduced by the ANC would be a lie. Even with separate entrances to hospitals, black were given proper treatment and the medication that was needed. Today doctors give you a packet of generic Panado’s for any possible ailment because it is all that the hospitals have in stock. How do I know this? My eldest son is a medical doctor who works in these state hospitals where 100% of the patients are black.

Education today is one of the biggest crimes against our people. Wiyth all its faults Bantu Education was a thousand times better than the ***** that is being dished up today. Most “teachers” are too busy with furthering the aims of their unions or their personal careers. They spend more time completing their assignments or studying for their own exams so that they can graduate and look for a better job in the private sector than teaching our children.

I sometimes wonder if we took any 15 year block of time under the Nats and compared how many houses they built for blacks and compared this to the ANC’s performance in the last 15 years what the data will prove.

People could move around in the townships even if street were unlit or poorly lit without fear of being slaughtered. Unlike today, you could actually tell the difference between the cops and the robbers.

So Maiphepi, where were you when all these things were happening in South Africa?

Skodide Goodfella

Eli Goodfella,
You are showing more and more of that good person in you. Nice comments man, I really like that…
Maiphepi, come now give us some ubuntu feed-back. I did suggest that you try us, but this page is slowing down so maybe we will pick you up along the way.
