@ZaWJBek @NelsAlmhere @PinkPiggieDan @Constitution_94 You sound stupid

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@NelsAlmhere @ZaWJBek @PinkPiggieDan @Constitution_94 Since the ANC took over the country South has developed more efficiently, without the luxury of spending 80% of the budget on 10% of the population

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@ZaWJBek @NelsAlmhere @PinkPiggieDan @Constitution_94 Private developments are ALL facilitated by government, they don't happen without a competent government - that's their role

Private developers always build the actual buildings - Most of them have the state as a shareholder too

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@1stMotho @Constitution_94 @phanuel188 Infact the state is usually a big shareholder of the private companies that develop those special economic zones

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@1stMotho @Constitution_94 @phanuel188 There are things called "edge cities" or special economic development zones/areas - Sandton, Umhlanga, Rosebank, Menlyn Maine, Waterfall City etc

All of these areas are planned, special infrusture is put it in and the state gives incentives for private developers to build there

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@NelsAlmhere @ZaWJBek @PinkPiggieDan @Constitution_94 This isn't failure

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@ZaWJBek @PinkPiggieDan @Constitution_94 These are all post apartheid/democracy developments

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@Idontknowmans20 @stats_wire All these places were developed after apartheid

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@MariaJacob49230 @Constitution_94 So the state is the biggest shareholder of the companies that build these cities

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@ZaWJBek @PinkPiggieDan @Constitution_94 He's right

Since democracy SA has developed way faster than during apartheid

I don't like them either, but that's the ANC's doing

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@1stMotho @Constitution_94 @phanuel188 Nonsense

These developments are largely private-public partnerships. The state plays a huge role in the planning and infrastructure before a single brick is laid

The state is also often a major shareholder of the private companies that build these developments

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@papyt14 @Constitution_94 @phanuel188 No infrastructure, services and town planning is provided by the government

The buildings are built by private companies, the biggest shareholder in most of those companies is the PIC (AKA 0the government)

[BigboyV @vbigboy1]

@phanuel188 @Constitution_94 Governments don't build cities, private companies do. That true for all major cities in the world

But the government provides the infrastructure, planning and stability for it to be possible

The government is also the biggest investor in those private companies through the PIC
