      That's only because the country has no way to leverage their resources and convert it into wealth. Mining bosses are usually politically connected individuals who got it that way (The State Capture Commission revealed that a mine even went to one of the state capture entities), the people who are supposed to monitor all of this have no academic or practical background in the industry (some Ministerial appointments are truly bizarre) and the amount of corruption and leakage that occurs is pretty well-known (RUMOR: the thieves who stole gold and other resources from the mines during afterhours periods were even APPROACHED by the government to mine for them).
      There's also the issue that foreign ownership being the only groups that can actually bankroll such an operation, and the fact that it leaves local workers in a weird spot.

Utterly plagued with inflation and dysfunctional corruption.
      The fact that Chile is the only first world country left in Latin America isn't an accident. When everyone else was going crazy with insular far left economic policies driven by military dictatorships busy nationalizing every damn thing they could (so that those in power could easily & quietly rob said industries wealth), they brought in the free market-stan Chicago Boys to liberalize the FUCK out of the Chilean economy. (Yes, this inevitably increased wealth inequality BUT the overall level of wealth inside of the country exploded SOOOOOO GOD DAMN MUCH that even Chile's poorest were/are WAAAAAAAY better off than they'd be in Mexico or Brazil.)

The state I live in, we seldom see power cuts at all. And despite that I make use of the app whenever an unplanned cut happens due to some minor incident of some transformer going out or breaker tripping. Even though the power is restored within one hour. Point is, such apps are useful even when you seldom see power cuts like me.

      Its not Africanization on Africans that is the problem but when Marxists/socialists get to power. In Kenya we also have a great battle with a highly Marxist/Socialist opposition that has been giving us problems for the past 40 years. Its not the black people but the ruling party ideology that puts aside pragmatism and fronts socialism.
      Otherwise countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Botswana and Ghana are doing well despite not having a White minority rule for long like SA.

South Africa is actually in a death spiral. There is absolutely nothing that you can think of that is not broken. ANC continue now to sow racial division with employment race quotas and now race quotas for water. You cannot make this sh%t up. Any idea the strain load shedding has on mortuaries, hospitals, clinics, water purification plants and many other essential services. Now the ANC want to nationalize the health sector. A good friend of mine had a hernia operation last week and had to recover lying on the hospital floor. All of this so the ANC can control the money, contracts and tenders - that all go to family and cadres. Really, really bad! Crime is at levels never seen before, like a war zone. For your own safety DO NOT travel here until and only if things turn around for the better.

In that time period and just in the small, 150,000 population town I live in, around a hundred white South Africans were in the process of applying for UK citizenship. Anyone who had the slightest chance of legitimately entering the UK was doing so. All of them without exception were people who were lucky enough to be able to afford to drop everything and go. Either people who had successful businesses, or high-end skills such as computer programmers. Skills and businesses that will be sorely missed by South Africa. Three years down the line I know many of them personally and they all say that RSA is an irredeemable wreck. It is totally corrupt. Incredibly violent with a third-world Police force. Responsible jobs are being given to incompetent people. Nothing ever gets done. South Africa is returning to its sub-Saharan roots it seems. Welcome to South Africa, the new Congo.

    Having gone through being homeless, then going from the country/Bush to Jo'berg..you really see what poverty and homeless is. "They know what they're doing"..they havnt got a clue. It's a shame as I loved SA when I was a nipper. Now I'm very glad to be in country that's going to war..again..and its raining, again! But its better than facing that everyday. I remember the dark days under a certain government where power was off every night. My mother would light candles and we'd sit by the fire place, had to cook in a pot without an oven if it was late.

    Few years ago, I had the crazy idea to open a Joburg company as a Swiss. After one year I gave up due to bureaucracy, black empowerment, crime, having always large capital blocked in VAT and constant, mutual racism. The ANC, a combination of free loaders, corrupt officials and total incompetence. I came with the intention to create something good and jobs, but left totally frustrated and without hope for that beautiful country.

    I am sorry for these people. Their government fell into a trap fuelled by hatred and ignorance. If they could have set aside their feelings and moved with reason and logic, they might have made the leap from apartheid, to a free state, using "managers" and engineers from say, India, or Egypt or any other country where they have folks educated and trained to run their facilities. As they educated themselves, they would have phased out foreign help. I wonder that there might not have been many Americans to fill these roles. But they never understood that these things require maintenance, updating, educated employees...plans to handle loss of power when the reservoirs go dry (where possible). This makes me so sad for the people who waited centuries for autonomy, and then blew the opportunity with a toxic environment of governmental corruption. We have corruption too, lots of it. But an entire country's population is being affected. The ANC certainly does not sound "democratic." I wish South Africa the best while enduring this dangerous situation. Never mind the farmers being overrun and murdered, because, I guess, they are/were white. So much hatred will eat you up and poison your own children...I wish their people the best.

Another hassle are the bunches of keys we need to carry because of the many security gates we had to install at our house , factories and warehouses. The constant power outages regularly mess up the batteries in the alarm systems , gate motors , electric security gates , computers , generator start up , camera security systems etc... to survive under the present circumstances is a 24/7 exercise - no let up in sight.

    I work with some beautiful SA nurses here in Ireland, black as night it’s self and lovely in every way. Their first born children remained in SA due to the high cost of raising children, but three different families of the teenagers completed secondary school here (15-18yrs) and hated it. Upon completion of school, the kids all wanted to return, me thinking they grew up with grandparents/ friends in SA was the primary reason for returning. They were returning to professional jobs with zero experience or training, I asked how would this be possible. They honestly said, probably some bore will be kicked out of the job( I didn’t know what a bore was, white person) and hire them. Two of the kids returned to Ireland in their mid 20’s, because the rand collapsing, they couldn’t hold down a job, turn out just outsourcing your work is not work, in the end all they could get was minimum wage jobs, which they refused to do, so returned to SA, to get into “senior” posts. It’s almost like the jobs are made up, like if you work in IT you just have to be less shit than the last person and you got the job.

    on the topic of crime, as you've said, the crime has escalated a lot since loadshedding started because of the unemployment rate. however, the crime has also escalated because loadshedding makes the crimes easier to commit. my mother was murdered in 2020 during loadshedding in the very early hours of the morning and because all the cameras were out, and the security system was offline, there was nothing to work with. because her house was set on fire, the police basically ruled it out as accidental because maybe it was a "candle", completely ignoring the petrol (gas) streaks on the ground leading to the house and a few witnesses admitting to seeing a suspicious vehicle around the area at the time.
    because my mother was burnt so badly, nobody could visually identify her- a DNA sample was taken and a few months later, I was told the police had "lost" the DNA. it seems like an absolute sick joke, but this really happened. there have been no answers and no arrests, it's been swept under the rug with all the other murders that happen on a daily basis in this awful country.
    I met a fragile old lady at the shops recently, whose face was black and blue. I didn't ask what had happened, but she was sure to tell me because maybe she felt insecure about it, but it turns out this old lady and her husband had their home broken into during a powercut, the young man had a bat-like weapon with (nails?) or some sharp objects drilled in and begun hitting at her husband- she was attacked as well, but not as brutally. they both survived, but the husband was and apparently would be in hospital for a very long time due to his injuries, and it was absolutely shocking hearing this, especially knowing it happened right down the road from me, and I live in an area that is known to be the "safest" around. questionable, because right down the road from me, there have been reports of young girls like myself being kidnapped and held hostage in Nigerian apartments and sold for explicit work.
    I have been unemployed for years now, my depression has and is still destroying me. I have had severe anxiety since the death of my mother, and I feel really on edge every time there's a powercut at night time. I have many nightmares on myself and the people I love being attacked and killed brutally.
    there is nothing nice about living here, this country will continue to get worse and more dangerous.
    I really wish I could take your advice on just leaving this place, but I'm stuck here. it pains me to see this country go down so badly and so fast, I can only pray that it will cease one day, but at this rate, I don't think it will be possible.

      Easy, as stated in the video… corruption. Instead of using private companies with the skilled engineers, they give the government contracts to their family members private companies. The only way to fix this is to vote the ANC out of office. The problem is that they will ensure winning with voter fraud when needed. This brings us to the last solution, war against the government, which is something no one wants and is only seen as the very last option. I think the ANC corruptors don’t even care about that, as long as they can make themselves rich in the short run, they’ll keep on running the country into the ground. Hard times are on the horizon.
