Whats is becoming of this country. Zimbabwe here we come.........

Trevor Emanual reinstated...it is NOT all Gloom and Doom,just our fears of change surfacing......{{{{{{{RELAX}}}}}}}

Despite all the 'trepidation' many felt in 1994, and the 'chicken run' that ensued, our country is still exists, flaws and all.
All citizens now have a voice and can participate in our country's present and future.
Although there have been failures so too much success.
So too with the Mbeki era.
Economy and investment has been pretty strong and we have been largely embraced by the world community.
Failures in the upliftment of our disadvantaged citizens, aids policy and Zimbabwe will also be part of Mbeki's legacy.
He is not the first head of state world-wide that has been forced out or resigned.
He is now gone and instead of joining the prophets of 'doom and gloom', we should try unite, put aside our political differences and try move forward.

Well said cuckoo - the glass in SA is most DEFINATELY half full - not half empty.

REspectfully, Jim.

I heard they all received new vehicles from the anc...............tata's
