As a visitor to SA for a relatively short couple of years and having arrived with no pre-concieved ideas I have to admit to becoming ever more dissillusioned with those in power. Apart from the fact that several of them are blatently certifiable their insistence on blaming there own obvious failings on long past political policies will lead only to the slow destruction of what is a wonderful country with an excellent infrastructure. The success or failure of SA will largely depend on having the right people at shop floor level... a strong work ethic and ability are essential if the country is not going to slide irrevocabley into the downward spiral that predominates in the rest of this sad continent.
