Japan has a population that can be roughly compared to Nigeria and they are also cramped in a small area. So we shall consider Nigeria to be developed once it looks like Japan

hahahahaha

BlackLibya you are one funny person with misguided believes

Zuma like pleasing everyone. With that, I think he will send the bill to the Constitutional Court for review before signing it into law.

Horus:
This is exactly what I am saying, they doesn't even mention the black population % in the article. This article give you the impression that there is more whites now when in reality there is less whites now (After the 2011 Census). Even if some whites are coming back their % still going lower and lower (low natality level). (Check the result of the 2011 Census). The article was just written to encouraging whites to come back, knowing that they are more and more a smaller and smaller minority compare to the rising black population.

I think it's a balanced article that spoke mostly the truth

I’m not worried about being “butchered”.  South Africans aren’t a bunch of blood thirsty savages.  The vast majority just want to live together in peace and are proud of this country.[/quote]And the chicken run never stops badmouthing SA and predicting its doom. That's why I don't like them. But of cause there are many patriotic South Africans abroad, I hope its mainly them who are coming back

[quote author=sa_lassie link=topic=808385.msg9604850#msg9604850 date=1321914122]You know, there is even that feeling amongst whites about this.  There is a bit of resentment towards the chicken runners, because they didn't have the faith in SA to stay.  However, I am glad that people are bringing needed skills back into the country that can create even more opportunity for all of us.  Apart from that I never liked the idea of so many South Africans spread across the world.  Especially Afrikaner people, because of that part of our history where about 25 000 men where forcibly send away from here by the English.  But even if it were other races I would still feel the same.  I just feel that we are all a part of one another at the end of the day and I want us all to live in peace together.[/quote]Yes the English gave you guys a crap time the same way you Afrikaners gave us blacks crap times and now it's the blacks who are maltreating Zimbabweans, Somailians and other foreigners. What a vicious human cycle. And there's always some form of resentment down the whole chain except for the English of cause

If you consider yourself black then you are black. Others might not agree based on your skin tone and many other factors, but if you consider yourself to be black then you are black

You wont see Angloans writing about how Nigerian leaders pilfer oil revenue so why are you people seeing it fit to pass judgement on a country that is using it's oil revenue on investment. Angola is not going to donate money to Portugal. If they are helped out, Portugal will have to repay with interest.

Wow its jumped from its previous 5%. Wonder what ti was pre 1994?

When was it 5%? In the early 90s there were over 5 million whites but less than 30 million blacks so the percentage was higher

I think they should just stay were they are. We doing just fine without them

When was the last census?

www.news24.com/World/News/Adidas-to-launch-1-shoe-in-India-20111119

Berlin - Adidas, the German sportswear and equipment maker, is to launch a shoe costing $1 a pair in India, boss Herbert Hainer said, despite the failure of a similar venture in Bangladesh. He told the Sunday newspaper Die Welt am Sonntag that unlike in Bangladesh mass production would be possible to supply the growing Indian market. "The shoe will be sold in villages through a distribution network," Hainer said, adding, "We want the product to be self-funding." He gave no indication of when or where it would be launched. Adidas had announced plans to sell a $1 shoe in Bangladesh last year, but Hainer said it had not worked as expected. "We sold 5 000 pairs during a test phase but we made only losses," he said. "The shoes cost us $3 to make and we had to pay $3.50 in import duty." Earlier this month Adidas said it was raising its full-year earnings targets after a stronger-than-expected third quarter and first nine months. It was now pencilling in sales growth of close to 12% instead of 10% previously, while earnings per share were projected to rise by nearly 16%. "Our brands and products are resonating with consumers around the world like never before," Hainer boasted on November 3.

Waste of money

more supposed "knowledge" from the font of wisdom.

america remains powerful only because it has the most advanced and powerful military in the world - (which it uses to invade and hijack the resources of weaker nations), it is madness to say that  you dont have to manufacture anything to be powerful.

how did countries like america, britain, germany and japan  become wealthy? wasnt it due to the fact that they were leaders in the manufacture of finished products?

america has outsourced a huge chunk of its manufacturing jobs to the far east and the american people are paying for this in the form of rising unemployment.

is high uemployment a positive thing for any economy?

People who think like you are what keep Africa from developing. Lets stop being stuck in the past and accept that development will come once our people are educated across the board and engage in innovation. Countries that invest in research and development are generally successful countries

cap28:
here is your earlier statement:
.

the above statement is borne out of pure ignorance and self hatred, you clearly have not researched your own history but have come on here bowing at the feet of white people as if they have a monopoly on knowledge and innovation.  I gave you clear example of how africans have always been innovative pace setters and instead of accepting this truth you decided to get defensive.

as a matter of fact africans did build pyramids outside of egypt - ever heard of nubia (present day sudan) ?  africans built pyramids there.

you appear to have no knowledge whatsoever - be it political or scientific.

Asians who have been historically as poor as Africans can now brag about things they are doing right now in modern times and here you are stuck in ancient Egypt where they built useless tombstone structures. Black people are not building useful things, making useful things, developing useful things because they don't know how to. We must first accept that as a race we don't have enough knowledge thereafter work on correcting that. But sitting back and claiming that black people where clever in ancient times does not mean that we are clever now in modern times. Which do you prefer: "I was rich and famous" or "I am rich and famous" or better "My forefathers who lived in ancient Egypt where clever, they built big buildings" or "My family members are clever, they are building high speed trains in Beijing"

globalisation

How many ''Made in America'' products do you use? You don't need to make things to be powerful, you just need to develop new things and then manufacture them at a cheap place like China. Apple develops the iphone in America and then they manufacture in Taiwan, it makes the Taiwanese people a little productive but most of the value belongs to America where the product is developed.

^^^^

africans had a civilisation which was far more advanced than anything that the europeans could ever muster - stop exhibiting your ignorance and read about ancient nubia - we were far ahead of the europeans in terms of civilisation.

who invented writing, irrigation the europeans or the ancient egyptians?

for your information - the so called skyscrapers you see in the western world today are all modelled after the pyramids which were built by black africans in egypt thousands of years ago - an engineering feat which europeans remain baffled by to date.

Do you have scientific knowledge of any kind? It doesn't seem so. You prefer to brag about ancient Egypt. Whites have managed to put skyscrapers all over the world including Africa, why have Africans failed to put pyrimads anywhere outside Egypt? As I said, black people have too much political knowledge and very little scientific knowledge.

Everything on earth is made of things that come from the earth. Black people must just learn how to manipulate these earthly resources and create things with them. That's where research and development comes in, for as long as whites research and develop new products and concepts they will be ahead. Black people lack scientific knowledge, we all have too much political knowledge but that wont help us as much as scientific knowledge would.

Many centuries ago white people figured out that if you take sand, stones and cement(lime at that time) and mix it with water you get a compound equal to and even stronger to a rock once cued. Throughout the many centuries they used these four free earth resources to create structures which still stand today. Over the years they have researched and developed new ways of using these four ingredients to create bigger and stronger structures and through that research they figured out that if they put iron bars in the mixture it makes the concrete even stronger which allows them to go very high and big. Why couldn't black people figure that out? You go to New York and you see many skycsrapers everywhere but you never know that those buildings are made of a mixture of sand, stone, cement and water with steel bars for reinforcement. Earthly resources found almost everywhere in the world.

UK government manages to collect revenue in excess of $1 trillion. This means that it's people and corporation are productive in their own way. American government collected over $4 trillion in taxes which means that they are also productive in their own way. Last year the Chinese government with its large working population and many corporations managed to collect the same revenue as Britain, the difference is that the Chinese are spending most of their revenue on improving and expanding infrastructure so that they make more money in the following years and the UK spends most of their revenue keeping their population alive and comfortable.

Where the UK government gets money from

ok, im done

All of that is waste of money. I would prefer it if you showcased South African scientist and engineering who help develop things that create money.

Don't you people have dealer service workshops whereby if your car gets broken you take it back to where you bought it so that they can fix it under the manufacture warranty
