@ cristalz
me thinks the vuvusela-blowing passengers were nigerians employed by MTN. Reckon they know which side their bread is buttered on

you people are missing the point, all obama was saying was dont believe evrything u hear. he just used 419 as an example to clarify his point

hi rhymz

i agree with u, south africans need to stop blaming foreigners for our woes. the post-94 government has put measures and policies in place to improve the life of the black man on the street, these measures and policies still need a lot of refining and polishing as many blacks are still to benefit from them.

for starters, the department of education has a National student financial aid scheme (it provides bursaries/affordable loans at a low interest to financially needy, academically deserving university students. I would know, i used the scheme myself in my student days).
Then there's the national youth development agency, previously called umsobomvu. its aim is to fund young enterpreneurs who have sound business proposals. then there's the land redistribution programme, where the government bought back farms from whites and are leasing it to blacks, who have the responsibility to make the farm profitable within a pecific time, or risk losing the land. many blacks who were forcefully removed from their ancestral lands by the apartheid govt have gotten their lands back.

then there's affirmative action and black economic empowerment, here corporations are "forced" to give opportunities to deserving blacks who would previously not been given a chance becoz of skin colour. the aim is to gradually introduce blacks into large corporation top managemnt, then ownership (as u correctly pointed out wealth is still in hands of whites).

recently large corporations have put up a percentage of their shares on the market, to be bought specifically by blacks (indians, coloureds and chinese too), examples are sasol, vodacom, nedbank, fnb bank.

as u imagine some of the above measures have brought unwanted results, eg few elite people getting enriched. a lot of work still needs to be done, the systems are not perfect.
as Mandela said: "the struggle is not over, it just changed shape". blacks south africans still have to change our mindsets, change the blame and finger-pointing culture, do something about crime, HIV and hopefully we'll get there.

Genievive is a beautiful dark skinned girl, all of u who vote for Omo, is it becoz she's light-skinned? i think Omo is just ok

come on people, go easy on the guy

me too tomishow, i can never have enough of gladiator

@ onenaija

I'm a black south african, and I do not support xenophobia; my own people's activities shame and pain me.

Having said that, why are u always the one reporting evry crime story that takes place in SA
GET A LIFE MAN, surely there's more to your life than sitting all day googling and reporting SA crime on nairaland I can just imagine that the grosser the crime, the wider your grin. The whole world knows knows SA is crime-riddled so your exposes are not telling anyone anything new. Whats with the SA obsession, do we threaten Nigeria in any way? is that why u so hellbent on exposing us??
