I guess smoky you are a politician, because those liars and manipulators always try to get something to say so they can sale their evil agendas. Who told you that South African government does not interested on improving the life of the South Africans by embarking on the Education?
I am not a South African government official or even a South African but if you look at the qualification registry of South Africa it has been growing accordingly since1994.
I just read someway here on the internet that even the government ministers are getting private studies by their own money on their free times, and they are registering themselves in place like the University of Cap town and other institutions around the country.
And always in their annually budget the education department get the biggest share. however one of the best and most important education a human being must get is a self-esteem as sister Nomindgames said, and I think South African government is on the process of asking for their kids to be taught by their mother tangs.
and if you well know that the time of the notorious Mr Jan van Riebeeck and his predecessors they were only worry and obligate to spend money and care for only the 13% of a country of 47 million you should understand that is not any easy task for a new and weak government to provide for the 87% who were all on dire need of everything.
Once in President Thabo Mbeki’s speech he pictured the imbalance life in South Africa and said “
the life in South Africa is just like a small island of rich whites surrounded by a big ocean of poorer blacks”.
if you use to follow the world news then you know how the suppose be South African citizens but turnout to be a piece of freaky and racists European loyals manipulated this and tried to show the world the hatred of Thabo Mbeki to whites by this statement.
You know that these who are extremely rich by exploiting the country in the last five-hundred years, all of them are whites and all or 99% of them don’t care or give damn about the low class citizens who happen to be Africans. Those rich don’t even want pay taxies of their wealth and they do whatever they can to avoid that.
The greediness & supremacy attitude does not end there but they do and talk whatever they want around the world to vandalize the good intention and hard work of the Africans who were told yesterday that freedom is only for the 13% but today say freedom for the 100%. All of this and more is just to keep up the old and silly mentality which always picks the colour first over any other valuable quality.
If you look at the worldly problem of ill moral behaviour of the youth and the problem of rape, teenager pregnancy and even crime, South Africa is not in the top ten of these ugly lists but yet the bios and resist media will always try the psychologically warfare. Sometimes they use Technical Science and engineers like the one who start this forum.
