In present South Africa - What has happened to all the ANC´s (ex) MK fighters?

Question

What has become of all the thousands of comrades who received training in guerilla warfare and terrorism in Russia, the middle East and other African countries?

OK, I know a lot do have top government positions, but what about the rest, did they settle down to 9 to 5 jobs?

And how easy is it to find a job in the new South Africa when all that your C.V. can say is that you have training in terrorism and warfare?

What do you think, is there a link between a lot of the crime happening in South Africa today, and the (ex)-terrorists or self named freedom fighters.

Moloi we expect no less (or more) from you.
If someone questions the ANC or it´s members or we talk about the crime, you use the racist attack - that´s hardly original but standard operating procedure.

What I would like to know is do you think this is a common mindset amongst some semi-educated black male South Africans or just your own mindless drivvel?

Additionally, if you do have something constructive to contribute, although I won´t hold my breath, why don´t you post a question?
Alternatively you can continue along the well trodden path of your government - insult and deconstruct.

Answer 1

I saw on Carte Blanche a few years ago that some of these guys came back to South Africa with the promise of great jobs, but instead got nothing. Some of the pictures showed them sitting on "farms" the size of outhouses. And they were very bitter about the situation as can be expected. If you are a subscriber to KuduClub, you can watch or download the documentary from them. (I think.)

These days you can't even find a job as a garbage man in South Africa without some kind of degree, hahaha!

There is most definitely a link to them and crime in South Africa. I would be pi$$ed off too if I fought for freedom all those years in a foreign country and came back to a toilet and a couple of rands!

Edit: This is what a former MK member had to say, "The former cadres turned armed robbers were driven by frustration with government for forgetting about them after 1994. There are many of us out there and we are poor and angry. The rise in the use of machine guns in South Africa will continue because there is supply of the arms when you really need them."

Answer 2

Some were absorbed into the defense farce, the rest were abandoned by their leaders," a empty stomach has no ears"
hence crime.
Moloi good for you do you feel better now that you have got it off your chest, now you will also be able to understand what is going on in our "country" and we are not longing for the past that was wrong we want everybody to have a place under the sun in "our country" and before you have another wet one all of us that is black ,white and everyone that is South African.

UA knows the truth.

Answer 3

You disregarded quantity 6. the government will set up a committee (alongside with ANC loyalists), and use taxpayers money to pay their salaries, to talk talk talk talk talk talk correct to the form for years, on the tip of which they'll come to the tip that crime would not truly exist in SA, so it in no way truly exceeded off.

Answer 4

it was a long walk to freedom for them, but an equally long walk off a short pier when the ANC dropped them.

these poor saps were dropped like hot potatoes when the new regime took power.

the anc promised them jobs, homes, incomes.

none of these were ever forthcoming.

a good friend of mine, whose father was one such "freedom fighter" told me recently his father will be returning to england to work there, because he was promised a job here in SA 9 years back, but has been unemployed since the day he returned.

many of these folks are very disillusioned with the government, and have subsequently gone back to where they were originaly sent, because they are more accepted there than the country of their birth.

Answer 5

I'd say the majority are unemployed and starving - and of course not actually employable because they are largely from the generation that was not educated. The children the ANC used to fight their fight for them.

Taught them how to use an AK 47 but not how to support themselves for the rest of their lives.

So they resort to the only thing they have been taught to support themselves and their families. I don't really blame them - I blame the ANC for not retraining them.

What are these people thinking?

Answer 6

They have all been incorporated into the defense force or made government ministers, mayors etc. where they can leach off the taxpayer while providing no service whatsoever.

True story - An acquaintance of mine was forced to retire from the defense force after 20 years recently, he was told to train a black recruit to replace him, he walked in on this recruit making photocopies of a blank piece of paper, when he asked her what she was doing, her reply was simple, Ehhhhhh.......I'm making paper.
This is a true story and is a reflection of the quality of our defense and police force.

Answer 7

Porgie is correct, at least those are the sentiments of family members who were in exile in Russia, bought homes for underground activities and risked their lives. Most of them are now in regular 9 to 5 jobs and they all said they would do it all over again if they had to. (yes, none of them are whinging).

Answer 8

Still in training or give training, only in unidentified camps in S.A. , Zimbabwe, Mozambique etc.

Answer 9

Nothing will change. South Africa will never agin be in the hands of your terrorist trained white minorities who masquaraded as christians. So, you and your band of racist hooligans can keep howling - nothing will bring back your apartheid government. You have to accept that or live a dream and die a druken death of racial prejudice.

Ja, finally I ranted, and you guys must like it!

Answer 10

Who do you think is responsible for the murder, rape etc...?
