Economies of Africa

As I woke up this morning with an anxious feeling. The vacant bleeding of the African economy with so much potential. I spent the last couple of days analysing Africa, looking at the allocation of resources, and the state of the country, disappointing I may say. It angers me that the leaders fail to acknowledge and efficiently allocate those resources to satisfy the needs of the people. For decades, people have suffered, been through the most severe poverty and no leader has been enable to drive them to safety and my question is why?

Are the leaders capable of leading? Is it the need to define a leader and not classify them as ones?

Is it the greed for power and financial benefits more direct than the million lives at their hands?

Is it the rule and control by the world economies forcing them to ignore the plight of Africans?

If one man could be favoured by many in the world, why is it impossibles for these masses to do the same? Follow in the foot-step of the World Icon Nelson Mandela?

Spiritual I am disturbed, emotionally I am wounded, being an African without the passion to help fellow Africans is an image depicted in the faces of African leaders.

Why is Africa the most suffering continent in the world? Why are we Africans so much cruel to fellow Africans? We murder our own and divide our own, exploit at maxim leaving nothing for the poor.

I spent my last hours of Friday 27th July, 2012 thinking about the number of cars I saw parked at a local municipality, new vehicles for the municipality and just metres away from the municipality, a hole in the 25 year old tar road. Travelling further you will be met by a running sewing from a blocked drainage system, further up the town, a big hole that drivers duck and dive to save the last of the remains of their cars ruined by the badly maintained road and I asked, is this the way the tax money is used, to enrich the managers, mayors, ministers, holder of high offices and give nothing to the people who empty their pockets every year threatened by SARS that they will be fined, jailed should they fail to pay up.

Today, we can all say, God never neglected Africa, Africans neglected Africa and today we are all subject to poverty and shame and we listen to the world as if we do not have the ability to speak for ourselves. This is not the Africa we are according to God, this is the Africa that we turned to be through forgetting who we were, who we are and why are we Africans not others.

Drug trade, the Dead Government

Combined article by the Decrinds


In 1976, the youth blamed the live government for the dead education
Blood spilled, childred died and through their blood, the world intervened
Silence wasn't a solution, deadly actions were so vocal that their concerns were heard
Streets were paved red, the white lanes were covered with the blood of the black
The elders watched as sons and daughters waved goodbyes to their souls
Through the struggle and pain, united they stood and the rulers had to give in
Through the blood of the youth of 1976, the rules were stripped of power


Plus 30 years later, the blood of the youth paints the muddy roads of this nation
With democracy advanced, they are disdvantage, to a state that drug dealing becomes the only way
Don't blame the girl jailed in Bangkok, the government failed her
Drug trade became the only way of life, some say, she had means, better education
Daily rapes and murders in this nation, wouldn't agree to the life we claim
Many duck for cover from the youth robbing, stealing and hijacking cars
Blame the government for the stress, that they end up living to disregard human life
They struggle to live, breath, educated or not, employment is a myth in this land

Blame the government for the bank robberies and rapes, stealing is the new life in this nation
When women are treated like sex objects, look at the media, the adverts and magazines
Yet you expect the uneducated men on the streets to look at it with a clear eye
Blame the government for all the chaos, riots, that many die in, in this country
The poor are deprived of education, books don't get delivered
Schools are shut down, teachers fired, in the excuse that there is no money to pay them
Yet money in spent building toll-gates, billions going down to wasteland, 
Parastatals bailed out, yet you hear excuses that learners can't get scholar transport
Funds are diverted where not needed the most, for all the stress and shame
Blame the government

The black shadow

Dreams fade, when death strikes, tears flow
Young girls dying, murdered for beauty
Raped and robbed, everybody is watching
My story is metal, heavy as an elephant hug, you can’t take it
Days passing by, nights flying low, everybody still talking
Dark shadows shading the fading black nations
Jesus died on the cross, to liberate us from these oppressions
 Black people killing each other, dangerous on the outside
Evil on the inside, street bangers to daylight murders
There’s a black shadow over the black man
He don’t want to better but a bad man
We fighting war over the same skin,
Prisons congested with the black man
 

It hurts worse when a black man kill a black child
Even worse when an African kills another African
I wonder if we ever be free, with so much hate in the land

A young girl snatched from a loving family
Sent to the world of the dead by the black men
Friends crying over her last memories,
such a young soul losing life in such a young age, the pain is endless
Her memories be forever, I’ll never forget the way she left us
I feel like there’s so much hate in the world
Cruel man rule with violence and hatred, the poor and the young suffer
Even the unborn and the dead feel the pain in this universe
Who would have so much hate to kill an innocent child
Just a little girl, with dreams, visions of a better future
Life cut short by a greed of a man with no love for the black child
 

My mother is black, my sister is black, my brother is black
My blood is black, so is my father,
there’s a shadow of a black cloud
Clowns make fun of us, I don’t blame em,
it’s funny we don’t know what love is
A black neighbour is like a curse,
its either you are hated for being rich or for being a criminal

Black children kill the elderly black, The black elderly curse the black child
The rich black oppress the poor black, the black leaders lie to the black voters
Nobody wants a black child, he walks and dress like a criminal, everybody hates blacks
Asians walk in unity, in business they grow with dignity,
Blacks still from the black man, you give em a job they break your jaws
They hold you hostage to demand ransom for being handsome
If I wasn’t black they would call me racist for being point on
Blacks don’t feel safe in places where only black men live
Black women rape black men, black men murder black women
Its like there’s a black shadow over the black name. I wonder why we called blacks

The Mind and mentality of a South African

 A message to all the permanent or temporal residents of South Africa.

A decade to democracy still we aren't free
Years of struggle to become where we are today but still we are struggling to be part of this nation
This is not one of those favoured speeches made by those who like pleasing the masses
My life depends on the rights practised in this democracy, we are desperate for a change
We are desperate for a difference, from oppression to depression, we are no longer free in this nation
The words that follow will explain my concern regaring the minds of South Africans

The government has failed us all, today we mourn the loss of a friend.
A young girl, a child, a lover and she has no future in life in this world again.
When we voted, we voted for crime and violence, we voted for sorrow and pain.
We are certain that whoever killed her has been arrested before.
Criminals have more rights that you do, they sleep and watch tv's all day and night
While you work, to find your home burglared, worse, your children raped and murdered.

This government does not serve us but subject us to slaverly and suffering.
In broad day light we are afraid of criminils, murders and rappists.
Look at the headlines, how many children get rapped a day?
A disabled child was gang rapped by five men recently and we have a government.
What do we get from this current government, what are we waiting for?

For more people to be killed, for more children to be rapped and murdered?
Who have not be mugged in South Africa? who's house have not be burglared?
You South African's promote violence, you keep silent, you keep quiet
We are all the same, what difference is there that we are making?
The police are not helping us, education has failed, hospitals do not help us.
How many times have you heard the leaders, reshaping, renaming education policies
When will we get going, go forward, have a progress in this country?
We standing on sinking boat if I may say, this whole nation is filled with hunger for love
for peace, for unity, for knowledge, for health, for work, for freedom.
Am I free? Who has the ability to answer that difficult question?
We can no longer blame the past, blame the while leaded government for our failure
Every year we pay taxes, millions to billions of Rands, we can no longer complain
We have the means to rectify, to change, to improve but no we are destroying the
Only resources left from the foundation built by your oppressors
Infrastructure failing, the roads, water and sanitation, energy and communication.
For that I can say, this government has failed and we will vote again
For the same promises, for the same crimes, for same causes, for the same violence.
We will vote for Government employees to be dismissed on grounds of no confidence than work they do.
We will vote again for people to provide us with leaders filled with corrupt minds and ideas.


I am in sorrow, I am in pain, I am in loss, my friends in education are hopeless.
My colleges at work are in constant fear, of being victimised by this government.
Law does no longer protect us, law does no longer serve to help us bring peace.
What happened to "Together United We Can Stand"?
I am losing my dignity as a citizen of South Africa, I am losing my passion as a youth of this nation.
Mandela spend 29 years to help us shape this nation and currently, five years is enough for any leader
to mess up, what the likes of Sisulu, Mandela, Mbeki, Biko and other brave passionate soldiers of South Africa worked for. Is this my country? Is this my South Africa? Is this my beloved land?

The question is, do we have a government that qualifies to be called a government.

So many have been lost already, maybe tomorrow will be one from your family
When we will stop living in fear?

-12 Wealth Distribution

I heard off these words from a stranger
Education is a permanent solution to independency and freedom
Dedication to hard work is a skill well mastered over hardship. Laziness is a disease that permanent disable visions and dreams of a man. Everyone has a dream, but not everyone aims with both eyes at what he is intending to catch. Sadly opportunities exist but not everyone is wise and will to realise them when presented. South Africa has wide range of opportunities, from super skills to God given talents. The educated occupy offices and earn a living and the gifted entertain the educated and earn a living but the management of the available resources leaves a gap between the educated and the non-educated.

A soccer player might earn R20 000 per month while a bookkeeper might earn R8000 a month. But the bookkeeper will have a balanced life, affordable car, insurance policies, educate his children and live a good life, while the soccer player might live a fast life and have nothing at the end. Education is important and the answer to equal distribution of wealth is get all of them education then this country will be free of poverty.

South African society

Things have changed, South African society is different from what it used to be
From oppression to depression, from jail times to failed times
The law is no longer in favour of the poor but those who can afford
Bails differ with wealth, the poor die in holding cells, this is getting worse
But my concern is not the changes with the country but the dying caring from the ones who lead us. I spent the first days of January researching in Eastern Cape. The education system has failed dismally and nobody is willing to help these poor children. 33% passed Mathematics: The subject is a main requirement to University, an intelligent person would ask. What does this mean? It means only 33% will be admitted to degrees and diplomas, the rest will need to go back to high school and study again. Are these children failing or the system of education has failed the children? Maths was made a compulsory subject for high school, even those who can't cope need to do it. The question is. Can they do it? When the results are released, we all smile but we never ever think of the difficulties yet to be faced by these learners. I am afraid, education is the main result of poverty, oppression and depression. We cannot go on with this, it is destroying those with no resources, those who cannot cope, those who are disadvantage. Why do we keep on pushing these young men and women to poverty? why?

What's the rush?

This is a motivational article from DECRIND, explaining the reasons why many people fail.
 This is based on the perfomance of the South African economy, leadership and the failure in society. As from 1994 the South African society never intergrated nor got united, the events of the past still have an impact to all, not necessarly that they have, only because the past is being abused to attaint different agendas. In 2000's the society has lost sense to any meaningful living environment, the society has lost touch in itselt, there let me say why we are this society.

Rush: Many lives have been lost through the RUSH.


In the 90's many lives got lost through the rush, criminals who are rushing to attain their wealth, banks, businesses, even individuals are robbed on daily basis, only because of the rush. These people are not patient, they are not willing to wait hence they are always in a rush, and in every occassion that is planned through a rush it always lead to a rusty life, hence criminals never survive to live to see their wealth, they also rush to their graves.
Businesses who are operated through a rush, owners borrow huge sums of capital, because they are not patient enough for their own companies to grow and generate these funds hence business managers are forced to be part of that RUSHING Entrepreneurship. Many and many more will fail and will be unable to live up to the debts they have generated, as we know, a business that grows its customer base is unlikely to fail.

Politics and the rush: Now many wonder how is this part of this RUSH. Our economy has failed, is failing and not developing. In 1994 the nation saw the birth of democracy but the rush ruined our freedom, we rushed to make laws that were in appropriate, laws that serve no purpose to society. There was not reason to set the new born baby free, because we were in a rush to see everyone free, so our laws were drafted to fulfil the rush.

Death penulty, got banned - now we have murderes, people who do not even fear to say "I will kill you". My question is, wasn't that ban drafted through a rush, if there was no rush, people would have researched, study the consequences of a death penalty free nation. Now every citizen is living in fear because many are in a rush. The education system is a mess, because we are rushing to something we only envision. Why the rush, we need to slow down and plan properly so that the will never be needs to rush.

Accidents & death: many people die daily on car accidents, ask and I will say, because of the rush, private cars, to minibuses, luxury buses and even trains. All these are happening because we just can't stop rushing. What is the rush, where are we running to, what is it that we will miss if we become normal for a second. Many young women have babies, some even end up HIV. Why all of this? because the society is in a rush, these young women want to be old, they want to bonk, bend and be bold, hence the consequences are more vital than any other punishment. That is one reason, many South African's are depressed, discouraged and have no hope or see no value in relationships, because they got involved in wrong times, when they were not physical fit to be, ending up being beaten by life and losing the meaning to it, no no no no it is not that, it is the RUSH

I can write a book about this, but for now let me close it here and say. "Why the RUSH?"
