@siv_k@sekgari@Leon_Schreib@Carl_CE50@NathiMthethwaSA@taalmonument But there was not a 50% unemployment rate and all types of other crap. There was not state capture and pretty much money laundering on an international scale. The rand was actually stronger back then even with the sanctions against SA.
@siv_k@HermanHG@Leon_Schreib@NathiMthethwaSA@taalmonument Pocketing the money and putting it in China and the Guptas pockets, no one would have minded the flagpole. But why mist taxpayers who are already overburdened for 22mil for a flagpole?
@siv_k@HermanHG@Leon_Schreib@NathiMthethwaSA@taalmonument You can build a massive building with 22 Million. How does a flagpole cost 22mil. Especially while the country is bankrupt and 50% is unemployed. If they could have looked after the country, keep the schools, hospitals and other infrastructure maintained(e-e-e-eskom) instead...
@BellewActual @elonmusk Don't know where you get the emerald mine heir from. His father is a normal South African living in Langebaan and the 2 does not really see eye to eye
@Jiimmyyyyy@BabarinoVinnie@bonomi_a And Israel on the 4th booster? With 90% vax rate. Yet lockdowns continously imposed. Here in South Africa we have a 30% Vax rate with and estimated 80-90 % recovery from infection and we have of the lowest cases now in the world. Natural immunity has been proven many times
@Jiimmyyyyy@BabarinoVinnie@bonomi_a It does not help with spread. Look at the countries that are 90-100% vaxxed. Gibraltar is a good example of 100% vaxxed and they canceled their Xmas celebrations due to high numbers. Stop living woth your head in the sand
@gmalau32@Jonathan_Witt There is free healthcare at state hospitals. And that is not being managed right. Nhs will not make a difference. It would just be the same
