I'm not going to voice too much of my opinion on this issue, except to say, that once again the government is doing things wrong, and here are the changes I would like to see.

My view on current affairs, locally and internationally. I’m not an expert, but feel I have to air my views now and then
A scary quote
This is just scary, was it foresight for our current situation, or for the situation at the time?
"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until debt becomes unbearable.
The unpaid debt will lead to the bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to Communism. "
Karl Marx, 1867.
Car manufacturers
Seth Godin has an interesting point of view on the bailout of the car manufacturers which I have to agree with. Our world is changing, and the way we do business is changing. I don't think we should be bailing out businesses that cannot keep up with the times. Yes, there will be large scale job losses, and it may impact the world economy in a very bad way.
Why we will never get rid of corruption at government level
This is the reason why we will not get rid of corruption at government level. These guys are very protective over their extra income…
Our shocking school system
The matric pass rates have just been released, and once again they are down. 62.7% passed matric (the passed used here is a bit of a farce as described later). And only 10% managed to get over 50% for maths.
This is the first group of matrics that have had Outcome Based Education from their first year in school, and it does not look like this system is working.
The comparison is laughable
Jacob Zuma's persecution compared to Jesus's persecution
You must be joking Ace Magashule!
You clearly did not think before making this connection. Oh hang on, it is not ANC policy to think before you talk, so you did well then.
Perpetuating corruption
I was watching Carte Blanche last night to see the piece about apocalypse 2012 (a subject for another post), and while waiting for that to come on, saw the piece about corruption in the various large Metro Police departments in our country.
