[OPINION] South Africa's new struggles demand attention

I NOTE Mr Thomas is on his old bandwagon of saying his detractors protest too much!! He continually lives in the past.

I'm not saying apartheid wasn't heinous. It was and many of us fought against the Nats in the best way we knew. There were wonderful Progs such as Helen Suzman, Frederick Van Zyl Slabbert and Alex Boraine. Many others as well who fought as hard as they could to get rid of the Nationalist Government.

But that Struggle is now over Mr Thomas. We have a new struggle on our hands: corruption, failed municipalities, things not working, incompetence, bad audits etc. The list is endless. And while I have breath in my body I will continue to point out the present government's failings. I certainly don't feel fear, guilt and am not greedy as Mr Thomas states. I say it like it is.

Mr Thomas you need to watch the Devi show and Carte Blanche on a regular basis so you can see what the ANC have done and are still doing to our beautiful country. It is a crying shame. Mr Thomas goes on to say my views have nothing to do with the economic power balance in the country. I'm not sure what he means as everything I am pointing out has everything to do with what is going on in the country to date. I'm not going to point out again to Mr Thomas as he knows what is going on in South Africa today and until we change the status quo we are on a hiding to nothing.
