financial crisis in south Africa
why cant South Africa develop its own industries to manufacture its raw materials? i do understand that it will not be easy, but Rome was not build in one day. it will take about 15 to 20 years for South Africa to build its own industries that but the painful part is that its not even trying to do that. moreover, i think its time for SA to stop playing games and see the truth to see that we need presidents like Thabo Mbeki people who are interested in raising the economy not the army, we need good leaders who are interested in changing the world for the better like Nelson Mandela not to people who bring back bad memories.
