Blame Game in South Africa

There is a huge difference between playing the blame game and pointing out the truth.

The blame game is blaming apartheid for current problems and the truth is saying our politicians are corrupt, therefore the man on the street is worse off than they have ever been.

Being a realist does not mean being positive and bursting fruit flavours because it’s PC to do so. Sorry, the mark of a man is standing up and being counted for something that they believe in, not sitting meekly by because its easier.

If you think that this country is in good shape then I urge you to do some reading on what an democracy is supposed to be and also to have a hard think about the kind of country that you would like to leave to your children.

I doubt you would find much to be happy about if you did and, if you are anything like me, you’d be embarrassed to say to your kids ‘this is the best I could do for you, sorry’.
