@GvanOnselen I can't believe that this question is still being asked. Look at the work of Dr. Anthea Jeffery. "Thriving Communism" is an oxymoron.
The NDR blueprint for Socialism in SA will not abide Capitalist success. SA must not succeed, because then the NDR loses.
@KanthanPillay on a recent Overton Pod with @Jonathan_Witt you said that SA were the first to develop commercial Small modular Reactors, but have now lost the advantage. How so? And why?
Has development / "production" been shipped to other international players?
โif solar and wind are actually cheaper, why is China overwhelmingly using coal? Did they not get the memoโฆ Did they not read the Lazard study? No, they know the Lazard study is trash.โ

@lusanduh@SundayTimesZA Does not mean what you think it does. A nanny state, or nanny culture refers to a government which is overprotective and interferes in one's personal behaviour.
@IvoVegter Point taken. You have written quite extensively when I follow that link.
And yes, Anthea is the "go to" on the NDR. I bought my daughters (late 20's) The Countdown to Socialism for xmas last year. It's tough though, trying to show that generation what awaits them ... unless ...
@Richard_Spoor Your words dripping with sarcasm, Richard. But they could well be accurate, devoid of sarcasm.
In terms of the NDR (heard of it?) Gordhan has absolutely succeeded. Indeed, his work IS done.
The MO? Drive the economy into a hole so you can deliver a Socialist utopia.

@KanthanPillay "Teenage pregnancy won't be allowed by law".
Setting aside the fact that biology doesn't obey the statute, this comes from a man who has one hundred and eleventy four children
IT'S HAPPENING ๐ ๐ฌ๐ท
The people of Greece are lining the streets to show support for the farmers protest.
SHARE - You won't see this video on the news ๐
@OUTASA@GovernmentZA ARE proud of this. It aligns perfectly with the NDR, the road to socialism and then communism.
Employment opportunity is the OPPOSITE of the NDR.
@EvaVlaar Fake problems.
Two simple words that sum up governments "justifications" for their anti-human actions.
No fancy rationalisation. No beating around the bush. Excellent ๐
