About 80% of manufacured products in South African shopping malls are imported made in China. Go count them inside Shoprite and stop fooling yourself. Chinese president orders Jacob Zuma not to allow Dalai Lama visit South Africa and your president obeyed the command from China. Stop fooling yourself, China is 1,000 times a greater nation than South Africa, you can compare RSA to Zimbabwe, not China.


In your dreams. We are not called industrialized. Country for Nothing. If such of your claims happen in Naija don't think it is equally the same situation in SA.

SANDF pays each Cuban army mechanic 360,000 Rands per year plus benefits of free house, free transport, free mobile phone.....show us which Zulu motor mechanic earns that much....total package of salary plus benefits totalling about half a million Rands per year for one single mechanic, show us the salary scale of a Zulu mechanic to compare to what you pay a Cuban army mechanic
.

A simple army captain is earning over R360 000.

That money is little and I am even earning way more than that.

Many Zulus are doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, Bank managers, Chartered Accountants and are earning over over million rand.

And yet we still dont buy military equipment from China


Unlike Nigeria... all you can afford is cheap knock-offs with your pathetic military budget


Pooh pooh !!!

You bought Gripen jets you cannot afford to maintain, half your jets are in frozen cold long term storage.

You bought 4 so called frigates but could not afford to buy a single torpedo for them.

You bought those four Valour 'frigates' you bought have been officially downgraded to VALOUR PATROL CORVETTES by your own navy because you cannot afford to buy the standard 32 Exocet missiles for them, you could only afford half missiles and no torpedo at all.

You bought 3 submarines, you could not afford the cost, so you paid with bank loans and interest piles up everyday.

You bought only 5 Badger IFVs because you cannot afford to pay for the 238 units you planned to have, 15 years to buy only 5 IFV.

You bought NOTHING on project Biro after 23 years because you cannot afford one single IPV or OPV on that paper plan that is gathering dust in your defence procurement office.

AUGUSTUS NO AMOUNT OF NEGATIVE PROPAGANDA AND ENVY WOULD WISH SOUTH AFRICA AWAY. NIGERIA IS THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO OFFER AFRICA.


South Africa is a 3rd world country too.

Nigeria has absolutely nothing to offer Africa, go ask Congo-Zaire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Dafur-Sudan, Somalia.

Nigeria offers satellite services to European countries who depend on our satellite technology, not to mention African countries that use Nigerian satellites.

It's South Africa that has nothing to offer except xenophobia, killing fellow Africans in cold blood on your streets just because they are immigrant workers doing jobs and paying tax to your governement that feeds you lazy Zulu, Xhosa, Bantu parasites who refuse to work for a living.

The real reason why South Africa is partnering with China
mobile facebook mobile twitter mobile googleplus mobile email

David Shapiro, director and deputy chairman at Sasfin Securities, said that the reason South Africa is looking at China and the East as economic partners is because they tolerate our incompetence and corruption.

“The reason we go that way [East instead of West] is because they tolerate us. They tolerate our incompetence. They tolerate our corruption and our bad governance,” said Shapiro."

South Africa settled all the loans of 1999 biggest arms deal in the African history.

The budget documents show there has been a significant drop in transfer payments at the department because the 1999 arms deal has finally been paid off.

JOHANNESBURG: ArcelorMittal South Africa Ltd on Friday posted a full-year loss that was 23 times wider than its loss of a year earlier, as the steelmaker grappled with cheap imports from China and rising labour and electricity costs. The ArcelorMittal SA unit, which is reviewing operations at its major export-focused plant in Saldanha on South Africa's west coast, reported a headline loss of 1,338 cents per share for the year ended Dec. 31, compared with 57 cents the previous year. Headline earnings per share is the main measure of profitability in South Africa and strips out certain one-off items. "The local steel industry is under severe threat due to the economic meltdown and the glut of oversupply driven by China," the company said in a statement. South Africa's government in August last year agreed to a 10 percent steel import tariff, but ArcelorMittal is pushing for more intervention which could see custom duties on other steel products.

I still do not believe that in 2016 there are still a number of people who think backward like those two little mountains on their backs. People whose mentality is still stuck to a colonial era kind of outdated geography where South Africa was highlighted as part of a third world country. Those elements fails to move with times to come to the realisation that the world is not static. We are living in a dynamic world, hence we have seen SA officially promoted to join first world countries as a Newly Industrialised Nation. That kind of new development, Agaugust will not take because he is already programmed by Nigeria's colonial based education that SA is a third world country.
