No Free Lunch

It seems no country is an island on its own, and what is happening in the USA in terms of people getting themselves hopelessly into debt and struggling to get out of it, is also starting to play itself out in South Africa. And this at a time when SA is battling with other social evils like hyper crime, corruption and increasing poverty. Definitely enough reason for people who are able to do it, to emigrate and look for better opportunities elsewhere.

Death penalty in South Africa.

It has been a long time since 1994 in South Africa when the ANC took over the government of this country, and a lot has happened in this time, especially when one thinks of the abnormally high rate of violent crime that seems to be spiraling out of control. Now somebody none other than the President of the ANC says that bringing back the death penalty is something that can be looked at again. SA is experiencing a crisis. Thank you Mr Zuma!
