Are we approaching the end of our lifespan?
Since the late ' 90s to the early 2000s, we have seen an increasing number of churches and fake pastors who perform miracles to lure unsuspecting victims into their congregations . Many innocent people have lost exorbitant amounts of money to foreign scammers disguised as pastors .
We have observed a radical growth in traditional healers who manipulate and extort money from people.
Recently , foreign nationals have controlled and run township economies, leading to a significant rise in counterfeit products.
Drugs have become a daily commodity on the streets of our residential areas. We have noticed a rising number of addiction cases stemming from the availability and accessibility of drugs. People dealing in drugs are known.
Human trafficking has become commonplace in South Africa , and one can be quite sure that such criminality involves our law enforcement agencies.
The unemployment rate is continually increasing. Graduates are working in call centers for government officials who collaborate with international conglomerates.
Medical doctors are working in township tuck shops owned by illegal foreigners.
The Minister of Education alleges that the high rate of unemployment is due to prospective employees studying syllabi that are not market - oriented. Question: who is supposed to ensure that institutions of higher learning teach students a research- oriented syllabus?
Teachers are not being employed , yet we have schools that lack educators. The government does not hire people based on merit but deploys everywhere.
Now , what is the ANC doing in the government ?
Before 1994, we did not experience an uncontrollable influx of illegal miners. Our fathers were employed, and those with qualifications found jobs .
I'm not condoning the injustices of the past , perpetrated by the government of the white minority. However, my observations suggest that we are facing an uncertain future.
What I can confidently argue is that since the ANC took over the reins of authority , we have witnessed an ever - growing number of upscale restaurants where young girls are objectified. Almost all government officials and their relatives suddenly live large.
The question is: do we still have a government for the people and by the people , or do we have hyenas?
