I cannot agree MORE... Children should grow up in a SAFE environment with a MOM AND DAD!!!!
All we really need is electricity, good local governance and reduced tax burden. Provincial and national government are also services, you pay all that income tax and it gets you nothing and also helps nobody else. Probably 80% of national government is just bloat and black holes for money. I'd close half the ministries for a start.
Werner you are right. We have government workforce of 2 mill doing the work maby 50 000 the rest is just buying votes. Whites must leave for a future.
South Africa is a country with huge potential that's been let down by an awful government.
I agree with alot he said, but our constitution needs to change as well. Is written for businesses and government, and very little for the citizens of SA.
Read the Bill of Rights
FAMILY FORMATION is the cornerstone of economic health.
Phumlani Majozi is right that we need an environment where jobs are created and therefore reducing the number of social grant recipients. It is important to do so as in some countries that have this kind of social grants there is a tendency to have generational social grant recipients.
Great IDEA!!! BRING BACK BLACK PEOPLE'S PRIDE!!!! Everyone would be PROUD of his job, because it is NOT a hand-out!!!
Love what you guys are saying, bit the government is not interested.
You had me at BEE. Thank you.some very informative suggestions,can not overemphasize the importance of family security where government can it must contribute to create sustainable solution to provide stable upbringing for future generations.morality is a core necessity in a progressive society.5year plan to half SASsA grant dependincy .culture of responsibility and self-restraint.essential for functioning civilization.VAT +18%3years 20%in 5years .reduce fuel levies capital gains tax to 30% import 20% invest in local production .cut parliament budget 40% 5years . Accountability.Justice served . corruption heads need to start rolling.Sell the SOE s go Private .focus on renewable transformation A.S.A.P.
Damn, everything he said is exactly what I wrote about in my honours paper years back when I was in University.
😌😌😌 you are what our country needs
Well said!
We have to encourage and help the entrepreneurs to grow in their passion for bussinesses en encourage the young people and kids on school levels. Their is a big number of potential skills and willing pupils who wanted to do better in their lives.
As long as BBBEE is in place, there will be no change in this country! Poverty will increase and foreign investment will stay away!
How does bbbee affect poverty levels.. If we removed it how much will change
@@madimetjamahlatse9270 BBBEE discourages investment. Look at it as a massive tax. Forget about the word Black in there. It is used to enable corruption by eliminating competition. It is used by both white and black elite.
Sweetheart deals are made and everyone except for the participants lose.
@@madimetjamahlatse9270 No investment, no jobs, no money = poverty !
@@madimetjamahlatse9270 hiring according to merit and not according to race is how we build the economy. Or you can just keep hiring according to skin colour and get more of the last 28 years of failure.
It is a racist policy.
You are now arguing like a rational, intelligent and responsible person. Our ANC government doesn't think like that.
Well said @Phumlani
Fix SA, get rid if the politicians!
Great insights...wishing all could have similar insights.
Guy basically said what we've been saying for years. But it doesn't want to get through to the thick skulled majority who vote for all the wrong reasons.
I really enjoyed this and your views, whishing there were more people like you
I think that the first step to fixing South Africa would be to make all the businesses such as shopping malls, amusement parks etc, operate 24/7, this will reduce the unemployment rate. Secondly, increase the minimum wage to be about 12k per month so that every South African can pay their bills such as electricity, water and sanitation, etc. From this, get rid of loadshedding so that businesses operate 24/7. Fix roads and renovate RDP houses in townships into something like estates with security guards, thus creating more employment opportunities in our country. After executing all these plans, now that everyone will be earning atleast enough money to pay their bills, get rid off social grants except the disability grant. Adding more on social grants, I think that the retirement age should be 65 yrs. The renovated RDP houses should no longer be free, anyone who needs the house should buy one, each house sold at about at atleast 300k. Anyone who cannot buy a house in full amount should pay 5k for six years, if they don't pay for the house for about maybe two months after moving in, they sholud be kicked out and sentenced three years in prison. Furthermore, if anyone builds a shack anywhere, they should be fined or sent to prison. Again, since corruption is such a huge issue in South Africa, I believe the only solution to this is to replace the government and anyone who fails to deliver to South Africans, must be sentenced five years in jail. You cannot promise to deliver and never deliver to South Africans. Provide street vendors with carts so that shacks are removed on the sides of the road, keep the country clean by making sure that anyone who fails to clean up their living and working spaces are fined a certain amount of money, I am referring to our residential areas and business hubs. I believe that fixing roads and making sure that everyone is safe in the country, this will even make it possible for tourists to visit townships which will be much safer with easy access due to good infrastructure in all parts, street vendors will be able to make more money from selling their goods to locals and tourists.
This is what I have been thinking of and I strongly agree with Phumlani Majozi. Give black people their pride back, stop spoon feeding them, making them more poor.
Applause!!
I like phumlani 😌
A SADC report claimed that for every middle class family that emigrates from South Africa, 10 local jobs are lost. About 1 500 000 people (mostly middle class) have emigrated since 1994, so that's about 300 000 families, which equates to about 3 million jobs....
Merit.
If you also gave me a stake in your company, or convinced me the orders coming into my new business are legit then yeah I'd be your phumalani😋😇
Top comments say it all.
The solution depends on the desired goal. If the goal is a first world capitalist economy then :
ENCOURAGE AS MUCH PRIVATE INVESTMENT AS POSSIBLE.
This could be low taxes, incentives, red tape, minimum wage, BEE, local manufacturing requirements. None of that makes lasting meaningful economic change (employment) to an increasing number of people, they're once off events that have a one time time ROI. You want everything you do to have limitless potential in order to have the greatest long term impact.
A lot is said about HNW individuals as well. Remember that a HNWI does not keep their money under their mattress. It sits in..... An investment.
They want their money to work and grow and they will put it wherever it will deliver ROI. Noone is talking about this.
Make SA as attractive to HNWI as possible and encourage people to be and get paid as much as possible. CEOs being paid millions a year is NOT a problem. Their money is INVESTED and powers GROWTH in doesn't sit in their pockets. Sure, some might go on a spending spree, but.. that goes into an economy as tax on purchases. Get the money FLOWING. The more that is moving around the better. Encourage the AMOUNT that is moving to be as high as possible.
Short answer: Play SIM CITY to understand what encourages growth and what retards it. Everything anyone needs to know is literally in that game.
replace the goverment.
SA will only start the fixing once there's nothing left to break.
Phumlani if you ever wake up and find that you are president of this country I would suggest that you take your phone and ask Johan Rupert to come and help you.
Hmm.I wonder what the problem could be now, let me think, Go back to what it used to be
We need fishing rods not fish. Seed and not food, or free lunch. There is no success in that. The old Zimbabwe and Ukraine are two simple examples of food success.
You cannot fix South Africa without first and foremost addressing Foreign Intelligence Agencies influencing Government Decision-Making in crucial sectors such as Energy exploration, Power Plant construction, Land Reform, Foreign Policy, Language policy, Family units (household asset holding and legacy), Intra-African trade.
In South Africa, this is especially difficult because the NIA is in cohorts with the former Apartheid Security Agents and Mi6 in directing the news / perception in the Media, the Judicial Court judgments and who gets investigated.
For example, South Africa did not build the Pebble Bed Nuclear Reactor, did not do Shale Gas fracking in the Karoo, did not build Nuclear Power Plants, abandoned NEPAD (Intra African trade) and is being coersed to leave BRICS with the present President Ramaphosa a functional Agent of SA White business.
The very labels given to our people "Black" or "White" may be what is keeping racism alive. We are all gods children.
FIX Corruption say no more
Mention crime please.
Crime will naturally fall as governance gets cleaned up and economic growth occurs.
South Africa and the whole of Africa can never be fixed - it is doomed for ever. Corruption to the core is the way of all African countries and was so since the begining of intellectual existense. So dream on maybe you will wake-up some day.
Had the Cape settlers of the 1800's not persuaded Adderley to get the British 'convicts' sent to Australia instead of South Africa as originally intended we might have been ok.
Stupid question we all know the answer.
Turn your back on God failure is guaranteed.
This channel is like the covid narrative, you will interview a thousand people who believe we should have a different implementation of BEE but only air the one view that agrees with you...but hey, David Ansara, that fool from the IRR, Bill Gates all in the same club😂
You are all delusional if you all think this trainwreck is fixable.
