South Africa: A Dark Country

South Africa: A Dark Country

The South African power Giant Eskom has turned South Africa into a dark country. The failure to supply electricity to the country and implementation of load-shedding is ruining the economy. It is not only the supply of power, but the corruption and other crimes have given South Africa the appearance of a dark country.

There is a clear indication the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party is under collapse and must stop corruption as indicated by Transparency International (TI). TI announced that South Africa scored 44 percent for fighting crime while countries Oman and Rwanda rated better than South Africa.

The numerous alleged scandals engulfing President Jacob Zuma and the ANC administration have affected South Africa’s perception in the eyes of the world. South Africa is perceived to be a corrupt country. The Nkandla scandal, the Spy satellite and tapes saga, the Gupta scandal, and the Arms deal are examples of high-profile and embarrassing state of affairs for South Africa. The devastating death of South African soldiers in Central African Republic (CAR) remains an unresolved mystery. The reputation of a democratic country is tarnished, and the international standing as a state for stable investment is volatile.

It is estimated that South Africa loses over ZAR30 billion a year to fraud and corruption. This loss has an adverse affect on the ordinary people in the country. Fewer hospitals, insufficient schools, and unstable power supplies stagnates the economy while the ANC government lose billions to fraud and corruption.

Eskom, the power giant of South Africa, continues to boast of huge profits for the end of the financial year in March 2014. Eskom generated a net profit of R7.1 billion and although this figure is R5.2 billion more than the previous year, and under the R12.2billion confirmed for the six months ending September 2013. That is hefty amounts of profit for the state-owned sector to achieve and assumed credit given to management for successful administration.

The sustainable development is a commitment made by Eskom for the entire country and on their website is the following, “Eskom has integrated sustainable development issues into decision-making for many years. Given that our sector is long-term in nature and that many decisions have implications for decades, it is vital that we take robust and responsible decisions.”

It is a comforting thought to know that the Eskom power supply makes “robust and reliable decisions.” However, it may not be the case, given the fact that load shedding is popping up repeatedly. Eskom, the power giant of South Africa, has implemented the following growth over the past twenty years.

During 1994, Eskom operates 37,636MK of generating capacity. In 2000, over two million government built homes received electricity and saw a significant change in management balancing racial equity. During 2003, the Klipheuvel wind farms were commissioned and a decision to service the unproductive Camden, Komati and Camden power stations.

In 2005, spending was over ZAR10 billion on black economic empowerment (BEE) and in 2007, the construction of Medupi and Kusile power stations started. The demand factor placed the country’s power grid under severe pressure during 2008 and Eskom implements load shedding in South Africa. During 2009, Eskom completed five open-cycle gas turbines. In 2011, Eskom raised USD1.75 billion by issuing a US dollar bond. The Camden power station ceased operation in 2013. A total amount of ZAR119.4 million was spent on BEE compliant suppliers. Eskom spent a total of R132.9 million on corporate social investment projects. Since 1991 more that 4.5 million homes in South Africa received electricity.

Impressive decision-making by the Eskom top-dogs and considering that in 1994, all power stations were operational. The supply and demand have increased significantly since 1994 with a population growth increasing from 39 million people to 53 million in 2013. Available statistics reveal that operational powers stations were fully functional in 1994 and that numerous new power plants have been commissioned but not completed.

Eskom had increased its employment capacity and contributed to job growth to expand the power supply. Eskom employees have agreed the company offers significant benefits, in the form of social security progress, free lunches, medical aid, and pension funds. Governed by the Solidarity, and National Union of Mine Workers unions, employees often turn to these representatives for leadership and guidance. The unions often raise impossible demands for management to accomplish, and most staff agrees that Eskom is a good company; many have vented their frustration at bad management and contractual work.

There is a no power thanks to Eskom’s prerogative. Every senior manager is entitled to a substantial salary. Prior to 1994, under the apartheid government, there were no blackouts (politically incorrect to say blackouts should be previously lit up). Load shedding, continual blackouts continue and Eskom will always have a reason for the recurring happening. The most surprising excuse was the story about the torrential rain wetting the coal reserves. The rain, according to Eskom is responsible for the coal being wet. It is assumed that Eskom would have facilities to ensure that the coal bed for combustion was dried prior to loading.

It is disturbing to note that the ANC is afraid of apartheid and blame a lot on it. in fact; it appears that the governments after 1994 have all been inhabited by pusillanimous leaders. The ANC does not to have the guts and pride to sort out this mess, and apartheid is being blamed.

During the apartheid heydays, the world was acquiring unusual profits on investment into apartheid. Rising expectations and increase in living standards became the norm from the accelerated profit growth. Production costs increase and profits decrease. South Africa has a vast treasure trove of mineral riches and Eskom the state-owned corporation is not exempt from indulging in the treasures.

Cornelia De Wet finally was allowed bail until the trial hearing. Cornelia De Wet remains determined to prove that the charges filed are false and without conviction. With the trial date set for early 2015, and after a grueling four years Cornelia De Wet hopes to get closure on this nightmare.

The failing justice system of South Africa, coupled with corruption indeed sparks a fear of unfairness and discrimination. The Leeuweg, Panzer Protection, and BBF groups have not stopped the harassment against Cornelia De Wet, creating doubt in a fair trial. Cornelia De Wet is hoping that the ending to the distress will stop. The state wants to convict Cornelia De Wet and hand down a prison term of 15 to 20 years if found guilty. Cornelia De Wet wants a fair trial and justice to prove that this debacle was a framed charge to humiliate the family.

SOUTH AFRICA – A FAILED STATE

This is one of a series of articles in order to establish as to whether South Africa is a failed state and if so, then why.

Everybody has been speaking about democracy. The right to vote, the right to a better living!

South Africa in 2014 is everything but. South Africa has all the hallmarks of a failed state. Let us begin from the latest working backwards.

In the Sunday Independent of 7 December 2014 an article                         “Found in SA ….Libya’s trillions”. The article deals with the fact that Pres Zuma got involved in moving Libya’s riches out of the country and into South Africa. According to the report, several complaints had been raised with the UN placing Pres Zuma and the RSA government on terms for charges at the International Criminal Court. These charges would be followed through if the Libyan assets were not returned promptly.

The charges, which would be brought, would include charges of theft. These charges might even make the Holocaust thefts seem like small change.

These assets were bought in on 62 flights. Landed at Waterkloof? In addition, the Gupta plane that landed at Waterkloof. Is there a link?

South Africa  since 1994 has steadily started losing its lustre, today criminals zoom in on South Africa as it would appear that criminality rules. The President had/was/ is facing more than 700 charges of fraud. This is a man who has been implicated in nearly every dark deed that has come to the fore. This is the man to whom the African National Congress (ANC) bows and all his friends, such as the Gupta receive preferential treatment.

The Courts are a pitiful mess. The South African dream has been shattered. Will the Libyans proceed with these charges? If so, what value will any South African diplomatic passport hold? Since when can criminals be absolved by using diplomatic passports? Will South Africa find itself under United Nations administration?

Who pays for all this? Referring to so-called 62 flights on which these assets were transported, who paid therefore? Whose planes were used? All this whilst Gaddafi’s money man , Bashir Saleh was living it up in Nkandla with Khulubushe Zuma. Who by the way had received more than USD 200 million from Gaddafi in order to buy oil concessions in the Congo (DRC) according to various allegations.

However, can one work through the courts in South Africa?

Good luck! The courts in South Africa do not instil confidence. Pres Zuma’s legal advisors pursued cases, which were brought against him. It was in the Highest Courts where the President’s legal team was shown up by not having a case. Yet, the Court’s time was wasted, justice delayed and who pays? The poor taxpayer! Despite Laws such  as the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999 as amended which spells out the issue of wasted coasts, nobody does a thing. The Office of the Auditor General does not seem to be able to comprehend  the fact of the wasted public moneys. The Auditor General himself has become the highest paid civil servant!

A failed state? What does it look like? There are no Constitutional guarantees and stealing, all the time. How does South Africa have 63 000 USD millionaires? What did they do to amass such wealth? On average more than USD 10 million each, this becomes a tidy sum.

Yet, they deem this to be a democracy? Like hell!!

This is legalized stealing, nothing else. Will Pres Zuma and his government be arrested on their overseas travels? Alternatively, will the Libyans send out death squads after them?

Next time, we look a bit deeper at the lack of democracy, the thieving shenanigans and the similarities to Pres Paul Kruger of the old ZAR.

SOUTH AFRICA: THE EVIL EMPIRE?

 http://dillydee.blogspot.com/2014/03/south-africa-evil-empire.html

Therefore, Gaddafi’s money had gone missing in the RSA. Various Ministers have been implicated in this issue. Allegations also are that a vast amount of Gaddafi’s moneys had found its way to the South African Reserve Bank and that a substantial amount thereof went missing from here. This is encapsulated in a different letter to Pres Zuma from a different source.

South Africa Living in Cuckoo Land Part 5

 http://dillydee.blogspot.com/2014/03/south-africa-living-in-cuckoo-land-part.html

These are the same people whose names appear concerning the fact that the Gaddafi moneys have been dispersed in South Africa. The Reserve Bank plays a pertinent role in this matter. How much Gaddafi money transited and ended up in South Africa? USD 100 billion? More? If so there are movements which can lead to these actions being spotlighted. It’s most compelling that the USA by way of the Rockefeller Foundation had routed vast amounts of money to the RSA for structural development. This happened during the time of Thabo Mbeki as president. 

These funds had disappeared !! It’s gone missing!!!

The name of the FIVE STAR TRUST HAD COME TO LIGHT AND AN AMOUNT OF USD 25 BILLION is mentioned. This money went missing. Apparently due to a syndicate in the SA Reserve Bank channeling the money away. This happened during the time of Thabo Mbeki as President? The same syndicate is implicated in the disappearance of the Gaddafi money. Yet, has President Zuma been informed? What action has been taken? Clearly, Pres Zuma is being manipulated. He and his clan were fed chicken feed, the Nkandla debacle, whilst the very big transactions were manipulated without his or his government’s knowledge. However, he is continuously being fed aspects in order to divert his attention. His own Ministers in his Cabinet are involved.

South Africa Living in Cuckoo Land - Part 4

http://dillydee.blogspot.com/2014/04/south-africa-living-in-cuckoo-land-part.html

There is the rumor that the road built toward Nkandla, Zuma’s homestead could have been financed by Gaddafi money. Nobody talks about this money and it was during 2010 when Zuma and Gaddafi arranged a meeting. Apparently Gaddafi’s money was sent to South Africa. This secretative operation was headed by Defense Intelligence (DI) General Shilobane, who acted promptly under the authority and control of the ruling party, the ANC. US Dollars, gold and diamonds were part of the consignment entrusted to South African government.

Gaddafi is linked to the financing of the oil exploration operations which culminated in viable oil deposits being found in the following places – Malawi –In the lake, Tanzania – off shore and in the lake bordering Malawi, Kenya – off shore, Mozambique – north of Beira, Namibia – off shore, Ghana – off shore and doubling their capacity. The moments these fields would come into production it would have an impact on the regional political and economical aspects but also in the international sphere. Gaddafi would have had an exceptionally strong standing.

SOUTH AFRICA – CUCKOO LAND: AN EVIL CESSPOOL?

http://dillydee.blogspot.com/2014/04/south-africa-living-in-cuckoo-land-part_28.html

In France at the time of the killing of Moumar Gaddafi, the local arms company in France belonging to the State, Nexter, gave then President Zarkouzy a Billion Euros in order to get rid of Gaddafi. The reason thereto that they would be in the forefront of new contracts with the new Libyan regime for massive orders. At this time, Gaddafi’s moneys were moved to the RSA, billions of dollars, hundreds of billions!!! Names such as Nissim Dangor, Jesse Duarte and her brother, as well as the Dockrats were mentioned, as to the truth thereto, who will know!! However, a certain Abrahams – working for the National Prosecuting Authority have been implicated assigning these moneys into South Africa, whence apparently a lot of it had gone missing. Allegations have surfaced that some of this money was used to build a highway to Pres Zuma’s compound at Nkandla in Kwazulu Natal. Also, an agent of the State Security Agency (SSA), a alleged Intelligence establishment of a decidedly dubious character whereby a majority of them has been compromised by foreign services or otherwise just sold their allegiance to whoever would give them money.

SOUTH AFRICA: THE SINS OF THE FATHERS – PART I
Despair

http://dillydee.blogspot.com/2014/05/south-africa-part-1-sins-of-fathers.html

The same people are also alleged to have been involved to a larger or a lesser degree in the vanishing of the Gaddafi money. The Gaddafi money was apparently handled under the AU’s (African Union) auspices. Personnel and consultants were provided with diplomatic cover from the AU according to reliable sources.

In this regard, it must be borne in mind that the British MI6 had always been extremely well entrenched in Libya. Many Libyans had been recruited as MI6 agents. Especially during the time of the Afghans fighting against the Russian invaders.

It is alleged that the rise of Gaddafi was due to the role of MI6. MI6 was also involved in the movement of the Gaddafi moneys as well as the financing of the oil explorations of the African continent. The Tar sands project in Canada is another project that was financed by Gaddafi. All of these investments were routed via British companies.

CORNELIA DE WET – THE TRUE STORY

Cornelia De Wet of Caroline, Mpumalanga, South Africa is a political prisoner on trial for possession of explosives. The nightmare began in April 2010 when De Wet joined the Leeuwag group, an operation that offered protection to farmers or anybody who needed such services. Before joining the Leeuwag group, De Wet and her family suffered several farm attacks and traumatized by the ordeal found peace knowing that the Leeuwag group offered protection.

De Wet undertook administration work for the group and as a caring patriot became involved in a school feeding scheme. The good work attracted people who wanted to contribute and a donation of R40,000 was received to expand the feeding project. De Wet was mysteriously banished from the group, without explanations. The persecution began and members of the Leeuwag group continue to terrify her into believing that the farm attacks were not ‘black’ South African. It is a known fact that most farm attacks have created the phenomenon known as “White Genocide.”

Instead, De Wet came to believe that the members of the Leeuwag, Panzer Protection, and BBF were responsible for the farm attacks. The group carried out farm attacks in the event of securing contracts for protection. A despicable and ruthless business terrorizing farmers to obtain protection contracts. De Wet, Johan Lubbe, and others belonging to these groups admitted the theory of members attacking farms and offering protection for a fee was real. According the Jan De Wet, brother of Cornelia, the South African Police refused to investigate these farm attacks.

An assault on the De Wet farm occurred on April 27, 2012. During this time, De Wet was continually threatened by members of the BBF, Panzer Protection, and Leeuwag groups. On May 20, 2012, Larry Swart (a member of the Leeuwag), threatened to kill De Wet, harassed her with phone calls and said that the arrest was imminent. Swart told De Wet to expect being assaulted while in prison and that the case to remove her children from their home would be implemented.

The South African Police raided the De Wet Farm on May 29, 2012. The police produced a warrant stating that four officers had the right to search the home, but ten officers undertook the task. Several different police units were involved in the raid, including the Hawks, Dog Unit, Bomb Unit and Task team. The farm consists of five houses and storerooms, but the invasion was apparently undertaken at the home that De Wet occupied. De Wet’s father asked the officers if they wanted to search the entire property and that stated that it was not necessary to do so. Many goods were removed from the De Wet home. It took almost eight hours for the officers, a total of fifty heavily armed to arrest De Wet. Apparently, there were only two white officers from the dog unit. The police did not read De Wet the rights and did not mention on what charges the arrest was made.

De Wet spent six months in prison and secured the services of an attorney who informed the distress De Wet that a charge of high treason and incitement were the two main accusations. Over 40 charges were drawn up against De Wet but were later thrown out of court. The Captain of the Hawks told De Wet that the children would be taken by the welfare if there were no co-operation. After one year and three months, the only charge against De Wet was possession of ammunition and explosives. Accordingly, the police did not have enough evidence to proceed with all other charges.

A certain Lt-Colonel Vregdenburg, a member of the South African Police, questioned De Wet and during the conversation mentioned that all right-wingers will go to jail for a long time. Vregdenburg said that he controlled the power to do so. A harassing time for De Wet by the captain and six other officers who made sure that De Wet would co-operate and answer all the questions raised.

Strikingly enough, De Wet was the only one arrested on that day and the members of the BBF. Leeuwag and Panzer Protection were not contacted by the South African police. It was noted that Frik Steenberg a member of the group indicated that there were plans to kill De Wet. Johan Lubbe, also a member of the group, implied that Steenberg was the snitch who reported De Wet to the police.

Life In a South African Prison

De Wet was transferred to a maximum security prison in Bethal on December 27, 2012. De Wet was placed into an overcrowded cell occupied by 25 blacks and was the only white person in the cell. The cell was full of insects including the beds. The cell had one toilet, one shower only. According to De Wet, it was hell being locked up in a crowded, dirty cell. It is expected to place women wardens on duty in the women section, but male guards were on duty during the night time shift.

On January 28, 2013, De Wet appeared in court on a bail application but was unable to testify as her personal documents were removed by the police officers. Bail was denied. With her hands handcuffed behind the back the police, attacked De Wet until blood ran down her body. De Wet was told that they will shoot her and tell the courts that she had tried to escape. With severe injuries, De Wet was placed in Intensive care at a government hospital and comatose for three days.

On February 11, 2013, De Wet was transferred to Pretoria Central Prison. Her family was not informed of the transfer. That day was a total nightmare for De Wet, who was handcuffed, chained from arms to the entire body and feet put in irons for the transfer.

De Wet was placed in section one, an isolated cell measuring 2.5 square meters by 3 meters. Locked up in solitary confinement for 24 hours a day with no rights, even disallowed from attending the church services. There was nothing, not a radio or television set, which apparently was supplied to other prisoners. During the night, there was no light only total darkness as wardens refused to switch on the light. For several days at a time, De Wet was denied the right to bath.

Spending time alone without the comfort of even a bible, De Wet began a hunger strike, refusing even liquids. Eventually, the police contacted De Wet’s family and told them that death was imminent. De Wet refused the medical help of the police and eventually was unable to walk. After a grueling nine days, De Wet’s family were allowed to visit and were informed by a prison doctor that De Wet could become comatose and die if no medical treatment were accepted. It was the crying of De Wet’s eldest daughter that brought the jailed mother to end the hunger strike. Weak and desperately ill, De Wet managed to survive the ordeal. Prison wardens showed some compassion toward De Wet and allowed a radio in her isolated cell.

March 15, 2013 De Wet was transferred back to Middelburg Prison. In only three months, De Wet had been transferred to different prisons six times.

What happens if you are white and arrested in South Africa

De Wet experienced traumatic times in prison and early one morning two black policemen opened the tiny cell door and found De Wet sitting on a cold cement floor. Commanded to stand up, and keep quiet or suffer the consequences of not listening. De Wet stood up and the one officer grabbed her hands while the other undressed her. Forcing her to lie down on the cold floor while one was holding her arms, the other officer raped her. Taking turns to rape De Wet, who was unable to mutter a word, but kept on praying that the nightmare would end and hoping to die. After ending the rape, the officers warned De Wet not to say a word and left her stretched out on the cold floor in tears. For several hours, De Wet remained on the ground crying unable to move, utterly convinced that life would never be more than enduring eternal suffering. Eventually, De Wet got up but unable to have access to water was unable to bath. De Wet got dressed and traumatized sat motionless trying to come to terms with the distress of being raped.

Life in a South African prison is hell for most, with a definite trend on traumatizing white prisoners. Black prisons have more options than their white counterparts do. Being allowed to keep money and use cell phones, deal with drugs and allowed certain luxuries are all part of their prison life. However, whites are not permitted these bonuses.

The prisons are overrun with rats and all types of bugs. Food often had rat droppings and dead flies on the plates. Whites were forced to take on cleaning work while black prisons were allowed the luxury of staying in their cells, listening to radios, watching television or simply doing drug deals.

During one night in the jail, De Wet was given heart medication that caused her to slump and unable to stand or walk. Feeling as if death was approaching De Wet asked to see a doctor and was refused and beaten by the wardens.

Cornelia victimized

June 19 De Wet had to reappear in court. It has been a traumatic two years. Most times a white prosecutor was assigned to the case but was replaced by a black prosecutor who had twenty people to testify on behalf of the state. The state is pushing for a twenty-year jail term. Twenty-three court appearances and each time the case was postponed.

De Wet is not the owner of the explosives and ammunition. Unknown to De Wet at the time, police informants planted these at her farm and then had her arrested. While a member of the Leeuwag, De Wet and Frik Steenberg (a prominent member of the group) started a relationship. De Wet fell pregnant and gave birth to a bonny little boy. The little baby was only five days old when the police raided the farm and arrested De Wet. Frik Steenberg has now become a state witness without having compassion on his own child.

Parted from a newborn baby was utter hell for De Wet. As De Wet said in her own words, “it was utter hell for me, as a mother, to be dragged away from my baby and children. I will never forget the suffering they had to endure for the two years I was in prison, fighting for my life.”

De Wet said the only consolation during her prison term was her children, spending nights crying and the trauma of visiting times. Seeing the children behind the glass, unable to hug them and pour out love was depressing. The children seeing their mother handcuffed at dragged as if a dog caused severe depressing and sadness within the family.

In Closing

De Wet has endured two years of utter hell appeared in court during October and November 2014 with a trial date set for January 2015 and again in March 2015. This case has now taken almost four years to reach a trial date and uncertainty surrounds the actual trial proceeding. Several witnesses have stated that they want to case to continue indefinitely and perhaps the reason for this is to ensure the suffering of De Wet carries on. Police informants, members of the BBF, Panzer Protection, and Leeuwag groups continue to harass De Wet, who constantly lives in fear.

Media reports have been negative for De Wet, who describes the mother as a public seeker who craves attention. These reports do not warrant any truth and rather create the wrong impression about the accused. While the trial does not appear to have an absolute end date, De Wet has secured the services of a high profile advocate ECHARD ROSEMANN with an instructing attorney to defend her.

Support groups have been set up to help De Wet through this traumatic time and the love and assistance have remained overwhelming.

Cornelia De Wet remains a strong and determined person who wants to live a normal life with her children and family. As a mother, De Wet wants to close this depressing chapter of her life and forget the trauma. However, the uncertainty of closure and the time it has taken to set final dates casts a shadow of gloom. We ask the question of whether South Africa does indeed have a failing justice system.

Cornelia De Wet wedged into a political triangle

http://dillydee.blogspot.com/2014/06/cornelia-de-wet-wedged-into-political.html

Vision for Africa

Vision for Africa

African History

Centuries ago, Africa remained a land unknown; the Europeans had a vague knowledge of this continent. Africa was always known as the dark, savage continent; a land unexplored. Africa, a continent ruled by indigenous tribes, scattered around the mainland. Africa derived the name from a tribe known as the Afri tribe.

Africans are mainly referred to as black, and this was a quick reference of describing dark skinned people. The Africans have a sense of pride of their skin color. Europeans were considered foreigners by the indigenous tribes. Modern times have changed this to a matter of personal preference.

Missionaries traveled to the unexplored land and described the inhabitants as beasts and savages, practicing human sacrifices. The engineering marvels of the pyramids of Egypt attracted foreigners seeking wealth and uncultivated land targeted for food supplies. In the early centuries, Rome captured North Africa for food and water.

Wars continued throughout the centuries; Arabs invaded countries, converting people to Islam. Rockets continue to blast Ethiopia in a bid to kill black Jewish people. Many indigenous people were defeated and are a lost civilization. Coastal cities were bombed violently with the direct intention of destroying the independence.

Africa consisted of kingdoms, and empires, the European amalgamation into colonies caused problems. Rivalry between ethnic groups began in earnest. European development remained slow in the early centuries, and the large entities built only began to rise at the beginning of the 1900s. After the second world war growth emerged industriously. Under the British and French rule, Africa had the potential of remaining one of the wealthiest continents.

During the 1905s and 1960s, many countries called for independence and this was structured to implement black rulers. Africa had huge foreign exchange reserves. New leaders were more interested in creating wealth for themselves than development. Political mismanagement and corruption caused a large drain on economic resources. It is estimated that 40 percent of wealth of Africa is held in foreign countries and not recycled back into Africa. Today Africa faces enormous problems.

Africa Today

The commodity boom of 1960 ended and instead of restricting the level of expenditure countries began borrowing money. The potential wealth of Africa has realized a sophisticated degree of development in Ghana while South Africa is a modern industrial country. The oil wealth of Nigeria, and Zambia rich in copper resources became the world’s third largest leader.

The overpowering debt of African countries caused problems, and debt relief measure was implements. During 2010, the debt was reduced.

Spotlight on Nigeria

Nigeria is one of the populous places in Africa, with the oil production causing the country to emerge as one of the largest economic base. One of the most major countries with potential of generating huge profits, Nigeria also has the highest number of poor citizens living below the breadline.

Political instability, drugs, corruption, terrorism and friction among religious groups are the causes of extreme poverty. The GDP of Nigeria continues to grow while the poverty level drops only a fraction.

Democratic Africa

Democracy is proclaimed in most African countries, yet the turbulent rumblings of corruption, resistance and war continue to ravage the land. The corrupt African leaders continue to blatantly mislead the people. Education standard have zeroed out while people remain ignorant and accept poverty as a choice of freedom. Problems continue to torment Africa.

What do Africans Want?

Several people were interviewed in an attempt to discover what ordinary people really want and to understand their vision for Africa.

What should be done to bring all land together in unity peace and prosperity?

To bring peace and prosperity to Africa there is no such thing. Attaining both peace and prosperity is impossible while the sins of corruption, crime and poverty remain unresolved.

Africa has never had peace, and there is prosperity but it serves the dictatorship regimes.

Stats - how popular is US agenda and brand in Africa?

America is no good; it is their interference and determination to eliminate the Africans with their continuous wars. Ebola is another USA product. Africans see through the ruse of getting any vaccination from USA doctors. USA doctors, Merc, Sharp, Dohme, Sabina, and Salf make vaccinations in USA laboratories to spread diseases, sicknesses, and fatal conditions.

That is the product America brings to Africa.

Do Africans like Americans and would like to be lead by them based on mutual respect towards a better future?

The Michael Brown riots, 25 November 2014, should indicate how the world views the USA.

Democracy is subjective and a self-serving concept. Partners of the western powers who are not democratic are coping merely because they serve the interest of western countries under the leadership of the United States. America topples democratic elected governments and replaces them with their own vassals Libya and other countries are the new democracies.

Is there any common force on the ground in Africa that can be trusted and respected in the whole Land?
What kind of force that could be and what type of value and vision represents?

The only collective force to bring stability is the hangman and gallows back. Robert Mugabe should have been hanged. All leaders are corrupt, and there is nobody to trust. The value is set and cannot be undone; Africa belongs to the Africans, and the land is ours.

Africa - all Africa needs: -

Security: Security is the government’s responsibility. Protecting our family is a matter of owning a gun. We have no fear.

From violence, Violence is part of the history and culture, and there is no direct intention to stop.

From sickness: Sickness can be cured, the culture of tribal medicines are favored.

For the prosperity: Everybody wants wealth and assumes the government must make amends by giving back his or her land. The resources must be shared among the people.

France, along with the US have in the past overthrown democratically elected governments in Africa and elsewhere just for being too independent and protecting their resources, which westerners believe they have a god-given right to. This is the primary cause of the retardation of growth and progress in Africa. This, of course, does not let off the hook the silk tie wearing ignoramuses who call themselves African leaders

What do Africans like and who is the most trusted?

A firm favorite is music; everybody loves the soulfulness of music. Food is another enjoyable love.

Zimbabweans do not feel safe under the Mugabe leadership and do not trust anybody.

South Africans love the African National Congress (ANC) governing party for the freedom they gave to the majority. There are no particular individuals trusted and most accept the failures of leaders based on the young democracy.

What can be done to improve Africa?

Immediate:  Giveback the land (this is the view from South Africans only.)

Middle: All fight for our rights, to have our land back and rule without foreign intervention. The only need for Africa to progress is social development and political stability, in that order.

Long term range of time: Raise our country into an indigenous land. Foreigners invaded Africa and must be deported. Africa must return to the original people.

What Africans really would like to do like average in the future in terms?

- Jobs, - fun time, - what are their dreams about future?

All Africans can think about and do, is sex. Have as many children as possible as soon as possible to win the elections and get a majority vote. African males hate work. Women, dagga, hunting and getting drunk are their fun and livelihood, and their dream. African females just want to get revenge what males do to them.

Countries like china have achieved a stable economy today, and if the Africans forget about corruption and work very hard, they would be able to eliminate poverty.

Making the world safe for corporate plunder does not pave the way for democracy; it opens the door to economic exploitation and subjugation.

Is there any form of society they would favor like: communism, capitalism, etc.?

Communism and Capitalism is the same thing. Both end up working oneself into the ground. Africans reject both. Who does the work? African women do the work. Males are lazy or pretend to work to get benefits. They love rewards!

In closing

African leaders want to manage their affairs without interference. The leaders will only ask for help from the west when they do not have solutions, like Ebola relief.

Blaming colonialism and apartheid for the current situation in Africa does not stop, and most people believe these are the main reasons for the slow development and stability.

African democracy is a new term for dictatorship. Democracy should allow the people decide; dictatorship permits a few people agree that everybody should do.
