After Mandela, mbeki was better..but since that strong head Zuma time. Corruption after corruption has been trailing their leaders.

Truth is something about the black generic that make it improper for them to lead themselves. Am sure if not for the whites there, south Africa will be like Tanzania or Rwanda by now

Palestinians are animals like ISIS and Boko Haram who are getting the punishment they deserve for their animal behaviour

God1000:
Do you have any idea what apartheid regime in south Africa was like back then?

Black south Africans were treated like animals by white minority

I agree that the current ANC government isn't doing well compared to the time of Mandela and Thabo Mbeki but at least they are free.

You see what Palestinians are facing, a disgusting spectacle of modern barbarism

ANC wasn't doing well under Zuma but Ramphosa as stabilized the country n steady it for further growth. Clowns like the Floky215yoi quote only talk down on SA because of Xenophobic n their clampdown on drug dealers.

Most talking down about South Africans are pain about xenophobic but SA can't keep accepting refugees from all over Africa due to poor governance.

For south Africa to sustain it growth it must implement immigration policies such as that of Canada or Australia one of the thoughest to those not bring fund into it economy, of not other Africans will ruin n overwhelm it sustain n still be talking trash about the country.

Just visit Joburg or Durban n see the stress Nigerians pile over it infrastructure without contributing or next to nothing in building the society n Nigeria is not even the most populous emigrant in the country.

All the Nigerian living in SA ask how much they contribute in taxes n I can tell you less than 1% of Nigeria population in SA pay any sort of taxes. Note I have first hand information on this.

The house ought to be converted into a National Monument by the South African Government after renovating it completely to befit the status of a National Icon like the late Madiba.

It can be handed over to the National Museum of South Africa to manage it for posterity as the house is a huge part of their national history of struggles and liberation.

In Excclesiastes, the wise king said something. Even if you acquire all the wealth and glory, you don't know whether the one coming after you is a fool.

In this case, Mandela has done all the work for them. But they can't do a simple job of managing the place. It's a shame.

Mandela's grandchildren are not entitled to free lunch any more than the average South African is.

Trengove said the trust had no legal responsibility to do so but had contributed towards the house's upkeep and municipal bills because the family "implored the trust to help. [That help] has, since March 2017, come to R1.4m."

He said the trust stopped paying the bills because they "shot up from about R15,000 per month to about R50,000 per month without any explanation".

"We resumed payment, and paid all the arrears, when the bills came down again to their former level.

"We stopped paying because we felt that we could not spend R50,000 per month of the trust's money, for which it had no liability, without any explanation for the inordinately high bills."

He said an "overwhelming" majority of Mandela family members had agreed the house should be sold "if and when" it is transferred to the trust.

Lies, Mandela initiated want to take back the wealth and got arrested. The deal he later made was detrimental to his people the whites kept the wealth.
What wealth exactly?
Do you mean Mandela wants to seize the money of the whites?
The only wealth that can be seized in such situation is the land/real estate.
Zimbabwe seized the wealth(land) alright and we see how it turned out for them.

There is absolutely no way a man without power can seize the wealth of those in power.
The wealth deal never existed.

The jihadist ottoman empire terrorist installation must be uprooted…

it’s not a threat, it’s a promise.. you jihadists can cry genocide all you want, Hamas is a terrorist organization and their supporters are human animals …. By the time we enter the 2nd phase of the war by February even Iran will be begging for Israel to have mercy…
