Yes it has to be one person at a time

I’m with you, my sister - together we will build this country, one person at a time!

Correct, incorrect, pc or un-pc, they are my opinions, which i believe at this point are affected by my observations and perceptions of what is happening around me - by what i am experiencing and what i am observing, as a member of the general public.

Firstly, it would be great if the National Lottery Board distributed the lotto funds efficiently and effectively, to eleviate the poverty and desperation you described and which we as individuals see. (I hope the NLB will prove me wrong in the near future). It is no good if people like you, Ngikwazi and Gidani are breaking your backs to provide a lucrative and successful lottery, when the funds made by the lottery do not get distributed properly or quickly enough by the NLB. Otherwise, it is ultimately about the rich gettiing richer - yes, it is very profitable to be the lottery provider of choice. Yes, i know that the running of the lottery does provide jobs for thousands of people who might not have jobs, and every week someone walks away a millionaire but it is not enough - the NLB has to get the money to where it counts quicker - to desperate people - yes, perhaps even the same ones that because of desperation rob, murder and beat the sh*t out of people. If in fact we can attribute all of those evils to desperation or as some have expressed and pinpointed the desperation caused by a horrid and torrid past - am am not sure.

Secondly, i have it on good authority that the ANC does have sufficient funds to build housing for the destitute at a faster rate (but it is stalled by the fact that there has been embeselment and corruption - so often the RDP houses go to the wrong people - those that can give officials money under the table get the houses faster, building contracts go to contractors who also give money under the table to win the contracts an then on top of that, they cant deliver, and so on…) It is a bit like stuffing your liver up through alcoholism and then jumping the queue for a liver transplant because you are a cabinet minister and you can!! Sorry for the six year old who has been on the list for a year to receive a liver and died the same day the said minister got her alcohol induced cerosised liver replaced by a new, much sort after, get in the queue liver transplant!

Many people who govern this country now, were 13 years ago the poverty stricken, deprived of spirit and virtue people that the qoute describes - and yes apartheid in my opinion is responsible. But i can’t help but feel 13 years down the line many of these exact peoples bags, who govern our country, are so bloody full and overflowing that they still can’t stand upright! These are the have nots (created by apartheid) who have become the haves(many through corruption) who still make sure that the have nots get sweet bugger all. 13 years down the line - you can’t blame that level of greediness and behaviour on a horrid and torrid past / apartheid. It is just pure greediness!
