When following the ‘science’ becomes a path to collapse

The Ramaphosa faction in the ANC and its radical allies attempted to change perceptions, emotions and realities in their quests to gain absolute power and wealth.

Despite exposed as a nefarious disinformation operation, Bell Pottinger’s claim of “white monopoly capital” to protect the Guptas and their political masters remains their driving call for action. Even President Cyril Ramaphosa admitted it was false until he needed to use it for his own purposes.

It has underwritten the greatest division and deepening racism in our country’s history.

It serves as a wonderful distraction to make people forget the government’s failures.

With the amount of looting and stealing that has been exposed, it can be safely assumed that black monopoly capital far exceeds white monopoly capital. The difference lies in how some of this the capital was obtained.

Perhaps the time has come for some honesty – such as the fact that South Africa is a perfect example of an ungoverned country led by self-entitled, non-leader leaders. They have led the charge to de-develop what once was a developed country.

Following their deindustrialisation programme, they believe that the greater the smouldering ruin of the country, the more it can be framed as “success”. Unemployment is viewed as acceptable collateral damage.

They deliberately and purposely killed the rainbow nation” to satisfy their own greed.

The majority of blacks, whites, coloureds and Indians have united to work together and drive our country into the future. It is, however, the government who tried to keep us living in a present that is worse than the past we left behind in 1994. To the government, national division and antagonism implies “progress”.

It was not the majority of the people who destroyed the economy. It was the elites that enforced a countrywide lockdown while following the deceptive “Covid science”. After all, didn’t they always remind us they were “following the science”? This “science” led us into doom.

And now we have a wrecked economy, an appalling educational collapse, untested vaccines that have resulted in countless medical problems, an increase in unemployment and more. But it enabled the elites to see what else they could wreck.

It is not the majority of blacks, whites, coloureds and Indians that have destroyed our national power grid. The government achieved this all on their own while overseeing a loss of R467 billion over the past two decades.

It is the government that since 1994, destroyed Iscor, Transnet, Spoornet, SABC and SAA – to name but a few. Yet it is the people that must suffer the consequences.

The government took a well-respected, internationally renowned national defence force and destroyed it – not the people.

SA was once an innovator, developer, manufacturer and exporter of state-of-the-art military equipment.

We have now become an importer of equipment we are unable to upkeep and maintain. As recently reported, former senior Denel executives are facing massive fraud and corruption changes.

This was not caused by the majority of people but allowed to happen under the watchful gaze of government.

Despite good rains and overflowing dams, we now have water shedding – a term that illustrates the gross incompetence of our leaders to develop and maintain water infrastructure, despite spending millions of rands on themselves. Perhaps, when this option has worn thin, we might find a new government policy on “air shedding”.

It is not the people that formulated a policy of criminal tolerance in conjunction with destroying the police. The perceived success by this government policy has elevated South Africa’s crime levels to exceed those of Mexico and Columbia.

This lack of security has catapulted violent attacks against minority groups and farmers into the world’s headlines.

It is not the majority of blacks, whites, coloureds and Indians that have bankrupted more than 80% of our once-thriving cities and municipalities. This claim to fame rests solely with those we entrusted with political power.

Obviously, we were wrong and must reconsider how we vote next time.
