This is a very interesting thread... although I guess it has to be said...

Fact is that while there does seem to be clear commitment to doing something about an injustice, there is no will or support from the government we have in power. That being from the top down.

The South African government has shown that it has no willingness to protect the sovereignty of the country, its people, its laws and plain and simply what's right.

Frans, I feel for you, this whole mess must have created more than its fair share of nightmares. But quite frankly, we have a bunch of self serving fools in positions of power, and they are the majority. This is not a black white thing, because I am certain any legitimate black businessman would also be concerned, but the achilles heel of South Africa, is that we are inextricably linked to Africa. By both culture, thinking, physical boundaries, morals and ethics.

I fear that this may be a losing battle... and this is accepting that the corruption has beaten me long time ago... and yes, I have given up...

No Africa renaissance - no hope!
