Sad that the very people who need to read this piece will not or would not care in any way. Why would they? The masses don't read that much and depend on the corrupt politicians to spin stories for them. No wonder SA is fertile ground for spin stories such as WMC, white media, land expropriation without compensation - as though that would magically solve all our problems, etc. And with the level of education as poor as it is for the average South African (and with plans afoot to drop the standard even more), the future is very bleak indeed.  I'm no pessimist by nature but even I have a steadily escalating sense of foreboding  that things are gonna get really ugly before they start improving. JZ and his ilk are still gonna haunt us for a long while. Changing the characters in charge won't help - the culture of looting runs very deep.
