RuudVanNisteroy:
You proved to the world you have strong institutions by jailing former President Jacob Zuma. South Africa is on it's way to greatness.

Thanks bro. It's been a loooong journey (as being witnessed right now) to get us where we are and, much more to do to get to greatness but yes, our institutions are the pillars of our democracy.

Violent protest has been a part of our legacy and has little place in our modern democracy. What we're witnessing is the death throes of a dying (apartheid-era) horse by the marginalised minority. This is an inevitable step to a better nation where the rule of law does not discriminate, even against former presidents.

I appreciate that to an extent you balanced your submission. But, let me present these facts to Nigerians who do not know the situation of things in South Africa. Close to
80 percent of South Africans are black people.
The remaning 20 percent are mixed race called coloured people, white and minority Indian south African. The later is around 3 percent. While, white and coloured are all below 12 million. The total population of South Africans are 56 million people.
The real cause of xenophobia hatred for fellow black africans is because black South Africans cannot compete favourably in their mainstream economy.
As at 1991 least than 1 in 7 black south Africa finished secondary school. I am a member of South African Council of Educators. As I speak least than 30 percent of Black South Africans finished secondary school. Despite that government schools are free, foods are provided in schools, school uniforms are free, school shoes are provided and books are provided. Some even get Ipad for free to study. These children get child supports from government over 15k naira every month. Hospital is free. Most live in free government houses called RDP. Majority dont pay electricity and water because they are categorised at poor people.
I can list these numerous things universities students get for free. But, from what I have listed for secondary school students you should know what can be obtainable in universities environments yet less than 35 percent finish at the right time or ever finish at all.
Black South Africans's major problem is lack of discipline, laziness and lack of focuse. Do you know more than 75 percent children are born out of wedlock in South Africa? 87 percent of black ladies that are 27 years old are single mothers. Apart of South Africans been the country with the largest number of people living with HIV and Aids.
SA government is doing alot. The black folks are the one drawing the country back with their high crime rates, unfriendly attitudes to tourists and corruption in government.
How dare you say majority of Nigeria are doing illegal activities?
Your policemen and policewomen should be blame just as the few Nigerians buying drugs because they both share the proceeds of these ilegal activities.
Less I forget more than 15 percent of South Africans smokes drugs higher to marijuana.
I dont really need to give these information. But, some situations calls for it.
Black South Africans should take their place in their economy and stop blaming others they cannot compete with for their incompetence.

TMKsouth, this is HIS response to what he and I agree was your "balanced" response: very interesting

It's still cordoned off so I haven't seen the state-of-the-art bits they are talking about, but it's not a bad design at all. I was just disputing the size.

Hmmm, very interesting points about waiting for the next boom.

I read last week of a delay due to alleged non-payment to independent contractors, it was supposed to have opened officially last week..

I've seen it up-close. Hard to believe it's the largest in Africa - I guess the standards are really low on the continen[/b]t.

Aerial shots look cool though. I remember there was a [b]plan to cover all the train tracks with overhanging parks and sidewalks. Wonder what happened to that.

hahahaha This development could have been much better designed but it's a big development for the CBD

Covering the tracks and freeing up all that prime real estate will happen during the next boom; we need to grow at least 5-6% for a few years for that to become a reality.

Lionessza6:
Stick to the travel section buddy,or come here with a proper counter . The whole " 9 wasted years " narrative is old,it is only believed by dummies. Now if you have some documents ,records and published reports to support the narrative, please post here ( not " alleged " articles )

Nah, I've got limited bandwidth sis and not enough space left on my laptop. I'll leave you in the capable hand of TMKsouth

Lionessza6 you are attempting to defend the indefensible. 9 years in the Zuma abyss will take almost equal time to crawl out of.
