@ZizinjaAbelungu@Sinawo_Thambo The existing economic model in South Africa is capitalism, if not semi- capitalism. The people voted for this. The 44 rands is higher than the minimum wage. If I were to open a company, I would pay them enough to avoid legal battles but little enough to make millions for myself.
South Africa is not worth 480B, it generates 480B per year from selling goods. Elon Musk is worth 700B but does not produce anything to that effect per year.
Gross domestic production = goods produced and sold per year.
@Abramjee My concern is not the altercation but the spectators watching without restraint.
If that man returns whatever is thrown at him, for what happens next might only be blame on him. We have normalized documenting events than interventing harm.
Let's do better!
Did you know that Britain established concentration camps across South Africa from 1899 to 1902, where both Boers and Black South Africans were kept in inhumane conditions?
This was the first time in history.
True, it is fake news but the state does not know how many foreigners are in South Africa, because the majority of them are not documented. The quagmire of South Africa's immigration is that both the state and the public are capable of misinforming the public on immigrationπ.
@YVaw123@Anunakin A submission to God, which God? The issue is not the submission to but the doctrinal theology that holds the entire idea of a God. Quran, Bible, Tora etc, these are not just books but an entire way of living determined solely by the idea of a supposed God 'spoken' word(s).
@penuelist_ This conversation is not difficult. We just argue in bad faith, Pro or Anti, I think the issue is not the stance but the justification therefrom - both can be expressed in the most extreme, at times illogically. I might be wrong!
There is a correlation between the city raising property taxes and landlords inflating rent prices. The housing market in CPT is overpriced (rigged) to benefit realtors and landlords, and the city is playing exactly the same dangerous game as its landlords and realtors.π΅

β55m2 flat.
R9.6M value (according to municipality).

@Simon_Sithole20 Though majority of your statement I find agreeable, I do not see why "native" is the best description for the youth in question. South African youth makes more sense to me than natives. Let us rationalise the statement even in its racialised context of unemployed African youth.
@travelingflying I am not sure about the veracity of these numbers.
But your conclusion should be, the percentage of white people in South Africa has been decreasing since 1950.
