Dear Minister in order to make South Africans more financially responsibel I suggest that we need to re-introduce savings certificates for children (preprimary, primary and high school levels) as a means to create a saving culture

Dirkie, you say things as many see it, and also have empathy with your bitterness. Quote:
“Africa is ruled by the way the bones fall” Mostly true. You could have added:
“And ruled by ancestors sleeping in death.”

Quote:
“Sangoma…will give you some medicine to ensure you get away
with it.” (corruption) You could have added:
“And human body parts to make you invisible, bullet proof and
absolved in court.” (Just look at their ads n the newspapers)

While with a cop in the Gonubie squatter camp, searching for some of my stolen
property. I asked him, “Why don’t the ANC pay headmen to educate the masses
on the benefits of honesty and the uselessness of some of their beliefs.”

He said, “No man! The people here don’t want that kind of thing.”

lets hope they will be a different on the pass rate this year ( which i doubt) since more money will be heading towards the path of education

I feel the budget was more to the point this year, and more focused on education and jobs, which is not a bad thing. Does anyone know where I can find the comments from political leaders on the budget?

walter
I refuse to call the ruling party “elite”.. rather soemthing like “steal-it”

Nkutu William Moalosi,

There is nothing in the past that needs to be corrected..that’s a lot of english-bull…how come there were so many black millionaires from the apartheid era?
Clearly african people believe that a man-is a man- is a man- is a man- is a man etc. and can’t understand that business people will create jobs and folls will trun anything into a circus..think about eskom, the SAA, the SABC. you name it, it’s falling apart because africa believe a man is a man- is a man- is a man and everybody are just TRYING (I hate it to always hear how these fools are forever “trying”) their best….I call “trying” and gambling one and the same thing.

milkshake,
with kids comming out of varsity that can’t read or write, can you blame companies for not hiring somebody that did not have 4 years to show he can read and write? ( Wow, just think about this..acording to african views, you are now qualified to lecture all the subjects you just passed )
