As I said, it is not all South Africans that want destruction,
civil war, and calamity, it’s a few,
perhaps a million or so that continue to indoctrinate
others into believing they have the answers. As long as we have the
troublemakers, peace will never be achieved.
However, there are millions
of people who are annoyed, want change and the right to live in peace and it is
these people that try to maintain order but most are programmed into believing the
drivel preached by political parties. It is the millions who remain gullible
and keep the wrong party in power. We all know how the ruling African National
Congress (ANC) have lost the way and are clinging to power with empty promises,
it's nothing new.
Racism is used as a tool to incite violence. As long as
there are people who can spread malicious
rumors, and take the law into their own hands South Africa will never find
harmony. Taunting, protesting and rioting is the new flavor of the day. I would
like to know who instigates these demonstrations. It is big business for media when buildings are burnt, fights flare up
between different racial groups and damages occur. Is this entire racial episode
a tactic to cover up the real problems South Africa is facing? Political
parties are present at most of these incidents and I wonder if they stir up
tensions.
Sometimes the hatred expressed among racial groups is frightening.
We all know that the minority group remains the target of most attacks. The
fall of apartheid was not sufficient to appease the majority and today most
believe that the white minority are still in control. Of course, it is utter rubbish, considering that there are
approximately 3 million whites left in South Africa. We all know that the
affirmative action and Black Economic Empowerment legislation have caused more
poverty and unemployment among the few million whites. In the last few years,
there are more than 200 white squatter camps that have been erected around the
country by the few caring people to assist and house these unfortunate people
who lost their jobs, their homes, and their dignity.
The failure of the government to provide for the 50 million
or so is not the problem or cause of the
few white people yet the protesters need a scapegoat and the whites are the
target. From the killing of white farmers and burning of statues the racial
conflict continues. The land factor remains a delicate situation and political
parties play on the sentiment of potential voters by promising to take back the
land. Of course, this is a problem for
both government and investors and it will be interesting to follow the
developments of the land expropriation. Now it is the English and Afrikaans
language that the majority find offensive.
The protesters are calling for the abolishment of both languages and if they
get this right, I wonder what they will
call for next.
The amusing part of how determined some protesters remain is
the publishing of ways to get rid of white people. Recently on Social Media, an
Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) member
gave instructions on how to create a terrorist bomb to use against Afrikaans
people. It is shocking that no action is taken against this person and it is the
element of hatred that runs so deep that causes people to retaliate.
Oh, South Africa, will your blue skies shine for all once
again, or will the gray clouds keep the
land in darkness. Will the rich fertile land be turned into a barren waste and
will your people starve when there are no more farmers to feed the nation? South Africa,
will the people ever be able to roam the streets without fear? Will the people
be able to swim in the oceans and smile again?
Will the borders be protected and crime crushed? Will the government lead by
example and set the land free. Oh, South
Africa, you are indeed a land of misery.
