Given the response – clear and compelling evidence of our right
to free speech – that I’ve read this weekend on News24 regarding the article,
“Why SA will fail” - and my light-hearted response - methinks it’s time for
South Africans to stop and consider where exactly they are, what’s to be done
and then to take a stand.In other words, let’s stop talking and do something for
a change.
SA is in a precarious state today for various reasons, some of these being Apartheid and its legacy of a poorly educated majority and a socially divided nation, poor decisions made by successive governments, the global financial meltdown and general world-wide instability, this in turn caused by poor trading conditions, greed, overpopulation, natural disasters and so on and so forth.
I think we should all by now realise that SA is not an island and that all occurrences worldwide have an impact on everything, and everyone else. Such is the world in which we live today and we’re wasting our time, and energy, in blaming one another for the situation we now find ourselves in. That’s history, done and dusted, and we need to move forward.
South Africa in particular has very specific problems which need to be addressed and solved if the country is to grow and fulfil its promise of becoming a prominent nation and a leader in Africa.
We, as a people, thus need to now stop throwing stones at one another, identify the root causes of the problems we see and generate solutions which will benefit us all. We alone can make or break this country, no one else.
The ANC are merely a government, incapable of creating jobs or feeding us. They are there to govern - hopefully to the best of their ability - and provide a framework wherein we can operate both fruitfully and profitably. For our part, we can either stand with hands on hips and taunt one another or we can stand shoulder to shoulder and move the obstacles that block our way – it’s our choice.
It’s also a choice we now have to make as we’re running out of time.
We need to build a framework of ideas and concepts that will enable us to raise all to a sustainable and competitive level whereby we can compete in the world’s markets and thereby gain our share, or more if possible, of the available work and profits. That must be our aim or else we are fully wasting our time.
If SA is to grow,The online extension of moldmaker Technology magazine and the most comprehensive Web site available for mold, and succeed, then it’s going to take hard work, ideas, money and motivation. Begging bowls are out, probably forever, if we look at the world today.
Our Olympic squad have done us proud but to even compete they had to achieve certain levels, or times, and we need to do the same. Nobody is going to give us any medals just for competing; the real world doesn’t work like that. We need to be winners, not whiners.
Firstly, we need to raise – as soon as is practically possible – the level of education, the standard of teaching and an awareness, amongst the youth,Visit TE online for all of your Application tooling Solutions including tools, that they can succeed only if they are educated. We cannot have a nation of hawkers, or petty thieves,Here is a professional handsfreeaccess manufacturer. just as we cannot all be rich, or be mining magnates or businessmen.
We need artisans of all kinds, technicians of all kinds, teachers, nurses, doctors, secretaries, scientists, hairdressers and shopkeepers - and that’s just off the top of my head.What is the best way to clean porcelaintiles floors? Once you have a qualification you can work anywhere on the planet; that’s the world we live in today and the youth should be forever thankful for it, not resentful of the past.
Stop the burning, stop the looting, stop the strikes, stop the violence and put away the thought forever that you’re entitled to something, for whatever reason, because you’re not. Nobody’s entitled to anything and anything destroyed has to be rebuilt and somebody’s got to pay for it. If you can’t pay for it then don’t abuse it.
We all need to work at something to receive an income and only then can we look at achieving a standard of living. Thereafter, with more work, we can buy cars, and houses, and boats, and toys and the all the things our little heart’s desire.Plastic injectionmoulds maker in India. It must however start with education and it must be followed by work – there is no other way and if anybody believes there is then I’d like to hear from them because they could revolutionize the world.
Next we need to inform government that this is what we need to achieve our dreams - and a future for our children - and that they are please to make it possible by building the necessary infrastructure, training the necessary staff and providing the necessary tools like books, computers and desks.
It really is that simple because if they don’t listen then we just won’t vote for them anymore and we’ll get their successors to provide what we need. That is democracy, and freedom.
Burning schools, boycotting classes, teachers raping students, students playing truant – or falling pregnant to access some kind of free money – just isn’t going to crack it any more. They need to go to school, educate themselves and then earn a living. That is the only right they really have and it’s up to them – with us - to do it. Nobody else can take responsibility for that.
