South Africa - A failing Democracy

Hello Everybody,

Trusting all is well.

Yes, its weekend time again, and as always fabulous. We are enjoying lovely hot summer weather. Clear blue skies, temperatures are high, and it's hot. It's time to enjoy swimming and water sports. We have had a lot of summer rain during the nights, and that is so welcome to reduce the heat of the day.
The other half of the world has winter now and some places snow. I think that must be beautiful to see. I have never experienced a 'white' Christmas, and can imagine it must be magical.

I have being writing a few articles on the failing democracy of South Africa over the past week, and I am inserting the links for you to read and a brief synopsis.

South Africa a Failing Democracy – The Introduction

This article is the introduction of the story about the South African Failing Democracy and briefly describes the different cultures and the first twenty years of democracy.

South Africa a Failing Democracy: Hendrik Verwoerd, Jeff Radebe and Pik Botha

The second article about the failing democracy takes a look at Verwoerd the prime minister who was assassinated and possible reasons. A brief discussion on Jeff Rabdebe and Pik Botha, who both seem to be colorful people.

South Africa A Failing Democracy – The ANC Governance

The third article describes the governance of the ANC and shows how it is certainly failing the citizens. A short story on the shack dwellers and their attack on government for decent housing, show how democracy is failing.

South Africa A Failing Democracy Spotlight on Fana Hlongwane and Vusi Pikoli

This article is about two characters that seem to have a direct link to the failing democracy of South Africa. Fana Holonwane, our own billionaire who lives like a rap star and does not hide the fact that he is mega rich. Vusi Pikoli is indeed a person that is linked to conspiracy and perhaps there is more to tell.

South Africa a Failing Democracy – The ANC and Spotlight on January Che Masilela

Again this article goes back to the ANC, the governing party and briefly looks at some of its policies. Then we spotlight on January Che Masilela who died in a tragic car accident and wonder if this was indeed a planned 'hit' because he knew to much.

South Africa A Failing Democracy – The Mining Community and Cyril Ramaphosa

This is the last article I had published but certainly not the end of the story. In this article, we look at Cyril Ramaphosa and his contribution to the unions of this country. The a quick look at the mining industry, starting with Welkom gold mines and the history, to the Auroro Mines, controlled by the Zuma and Mandela families, and how their workers are treated worse than dogs. A look at the extensively covered story of the Marikana massacre.

There are so many questions that need to be answered. I have so many more stories to tell and will continue posting new articles this week. The new articles will focus on the media, some of the defense force departments, the white billionaires of the defense force and the Zuma and Radebe camp. Are we for or against Zuma?

It is a sad fact that the democracy is indeed failing. Perhaps there is some hope for this country, perhaps not.

Have a super week
