Is anyone else aware that certain soldiers in the South African National Defence Force have now set their sights on the right to unionise and strike/protest. Their argument is that they get paid a salary and thus qualify for these rights. Absolute ignorance toward crime at government level, constant strikes and protests due to gross missmanagement of funds, top officials befriending murderous criminals & not understanding how this could be seen as wrong"finished & klaar", complete dissregard for the public voice, turmoil on our nations streets as our government enters a "power struggle", DISGUSTING incompitence in most senior management and local government posts! Lately I am of the opinion that we are living in a country and on a continent that the first world is laughing at. Any feedback guys?

Let's start a culture/society/rebellion and do something about it then. What have we got to loose? Let’s build a network that will take on whatever is keeping our country from "being", as we've all envisioned. All South Africans with computers or access to e-mail against all those who are corrupt? We spent so much time on the net posting our complaints, would it hurt if we spent it fighting our rotten system- and it is our system. We can fight this system (not by killing and harming others)...Is anyone interested? I've got a few suggestions of how we can do this, who wants in?

Every picture tells a story and you have painted it true to reality.
The tragedy is that those who voted this bunch into power did so on the back of Madiba's reputation and what he had achieved.
The further tragedy is they will be like our erstwhile Nationalist Party supporters and do it all again. Some folks just don't get it.

What's most wrong with this picture is that this government has been elected to be there. About 70% of South African voters said:" These are the people we prefer above anyone else to be in charge of our country".
It baffles the mind...

you see dude, almost every 2nd and 3rd world country on the planet is like this, but no one ever hears about it, so dont freak. anyway, the reason for this is that while us americans live in our nice little penthouse suites and get on Yahoo answers for fun, the rest of the world is paying for our luxury. the world is whacked up.

You have to be kidding me, that is the last straw, if the present government allows this then it's game over no extra time.
