The author and commentators above are waisting time insulting each other, beacuse of other peoples opinion.Business school has tought me never to argue with peoples opinion because you can never change it, even though they influence are day 2 day life.

I would like to invite you to our branch meeting for orientantion on the character and culture of this great movement the ANC.It is not our norm to be passive and take what ever we receive as correct, but we are trained to be assertive, inovative get involves with the day 2 day community issues.

Issues raised by JM are collectively owned by the leadership of the youth movement.As madelakhufa of the ANC,we will continue to build the organisation in all corners of the country and defend the gains achieved. JM and the leadership of the Youth League are indeed role models for the SA.

Other organisation even want to contribute in the nationalisation document to be presented to NEC of the ANC.

Don’t count JM and his leadership out of SA’s democratic debates.ANCYL is part of the force for change in SA.This is not theory,because I’m walking the talk as former student leadership at CPUT.Aluta!!!

It a fact that Europeans are racist. Look at Africa, China, America and Austria you will get what I’m talking about. Look at the history and you will see that they run for resources and go back to their countries.

Due to the fact that we have a this history which I believe hinders the good communication pattern let our leaders as Mandela and De-Clark does called the free South African without race because we are preparing our future and our generations.

Now wouldn’t it have been better to say hey, we need each other lets respect each other and work together to make this country work, not “screw you we don’t need you now piss off to Australia”?

agreed, this goverment is indeed corrupt, ineffectual in reducing poverty and has practically made no dent in INEQUALITY in this country…

They are trying hard to de-racialize the bourgeoisie so that capitalism can in fact be legitimized ..which of course is silly, the black bourgeoisie act no different from their white counterparts…In my opinion Malema is calling for nationalization to legitimize capitalism even more, not for the people “to share is wealth of the country”…He wants reform, not real change and is playing oN racial feelings and racial identification to spur things up a bit..

All agreed, please dont keep quite for the fear that you might be called a racist..

However the paradigm through which you view and criticize the issue is problematic:

1)Racism is a system of oppression (based on race)…In order to oppress you must have the power to oppress and to materialize your sentiments!There might be a black government, however when i walk around in my (former, but still) white suburb, from time to time the patrolling police/ADT gurads ask me ‘where do you live, the address please’…if a wallet goes missing at a house party, chances are the black dude would be suspected first..thats racism mike, no ugly name calling, just structural and institutional frameworks that OPPRESS!

2)Indicating White folk reaction to the issue will be to leave(with their skills)/separate is basically a (white) threat, thats why we wonder, what informs your thinkingmike?

The sad part is that those unreformed souls simply take their prejudices to countries such as Nigeria, Malawi, DRC etc under a misguided belief that they are indespensible, and the authorities in those countries will overlook how they illtreat locals in the quest to keep their so-called skills. I have news for anyone harbouring any such naive ideas: YOU ARE TOLD TO EITHER REFORM OR BE DEPORTED.

In terms of the imbalance and as part of my pre-election comment I said “vote ANC” and retain BEE and affirmative action.

They are necessary to address the very imbalances you talk about.

While the ANC has many problems – which I point out daily – they are a black government who will look after the masses before a white government as history has shown.

However where certain elite get all the plum positions and corruption reduces the effect of the above (in the tens of billions) then people have to speak up.

All of the above is on record just scroll back.

Quite a point of departure for a supremacist, racist.

That said I see white professors, doctors, sportsmen, businessmen, engineers and the like earning kudos for their new countries.

As such I am making the point that I do not want to add to that number.

I accept that I’m a populist – I support Mbeki in the Zuma era, Affirmative Action and BEE PLUS accelerated land redistribution which are very popular among whites.

But let me do one piece standing up for the whites and I’m a racist.

If I’m a racist God help us.

The people who hold political power are overwhelmingly black, however the people who hold economical power are overwhelmingly white..If we agree that economic power pulls the most weight throughout/in the world today, it naturally follows that whites hold the larger portion of power in this country…As is simply illustrated by the fact that approx 80% of the land in country is in white hands..

So Mike, you rightly indicate that the white folk have the economic power, but that’s exactly why us black folk stand firm in our contempt of white privilege and abundance..thats exactly why whites leaving is kind of not that bad you know – I’d like the power in the country of my ancestors thank you very much!

Now, a white exodus is something white folk fear for obvious reasons, seriously where will you go? you have other home. Stop projecting that fear onto us!!We dont fear that Mike, seriously we dont..even Zim. will improve in 10 years time, countries rise and fall and it wouldn’t be any different, If all those (monopolizing)white capitalists& white supremacists left it would actually be exciting to start an inclusive country afresh, dont you think?
