    The situation in South Africa can be explained using this analogy , Picture a troop of Baboons running through a maize field , as they run through they grab a corn cob with their left hand and stick it under their right arm , they then grab another using their right arm and shove it under their left arm, as they do this the cob under the right arm to falls to the ground , this continues until they finally reach the end of the field and at the end all they have is the one cob in their hand but the entire crop is destroyed.

    Gov policies, debt + its overall priorities are not aimed at economic growth. A growth rate of 1% should have told them to adjust their priorities to the purse.
    Add failed SOE's needing lots of money, with its triparthd alliances in violent strikes for salary increases higher than inflation + running out of money really shouldn't have come as a surprise.

    The deception is that without root causes analysis and factoring in all direct impact cause to the problems we face as South Africa, we will never address the problems. E.g., the problem of BORDERS and the destructive inflow illegals that RSA has had to grapple with is avoided. This is the biggest problem the Republic has to deal with, we ignore the affects of this at the continued peril to the very existence of this nation.

    S M Goodson's book on the SARB and the history of Central Banking explains how to stop the enslavement to debt. Get rid of the private SARB and bring the money supply back to the government and STOP usury. Stop charging interest on money that does not exist!!! When councils and companies do not have to pay interest upon interest then the money can work for the people.

    • @dannyarcher6370
      @dannyarcher6370 11 місяців тому +1

      I am against central banks in general, but the fact that the SARB is private is the only reason South Africa is still standing. If you think putting that in the hands of government is a good idea, then you have no clue about monetary history.

      @@dannyarcher6370 as you can gather, I'm not educated enough on the monetary system so I'm trying to find my way around the two books the Goodson wrote. I've read the SARB book and am busy with the History of Central Banking. Goodson actually wrote a proposal to bring the power back to the people although I suspect that for the reason you stated it might not be the best solution. Surely some clever people could come up with a solution that would remove the interest bearing money from the SARB? But I also suspect that the Rothschild bankers would not allow this to happen............. just like they destroyed Gaddafi and others.

    Government debt has grown from 23% to 73% in the last 15 years. 16% of government expenditure services only the interest on that debt. It is very clear that with shrinking revenue, rampant corruption, implementation of the NHI, a new National Social Security Fund and continuation of the SRD which has essentially become a permanent universal basic income will only have the debt pile growing in the future and a shrinking pool of taxpayers footing the bill. Let's not mention Postbank imminently becoming a state-owned bank with the VBS Mutual Bank saga still fresh in everyone's memory. South Africa is in a downward spiral with no end in sight.

    Efficacy of State spending has been our most crippling economic issue over last 2 presidencies. Far too much tax revenue is being spent on priorities that do not grow the scale, variety or quality of SA's economy (ie effective investment of positive return). How else does an economy grow? Such misspending can only be termed "consumption". SA government is now borrowing to fund consumption, whilst framing it "investment". Very few state infrastructure projects in SA have projects with GDP multiplier over 1, they should be 1,8-2,3. Returns of PIC, IDC and DBSA 'investment' now fall in this fold... they earn returns lower than inflation.
