We have seen, time and again, that the government only listens to the voice of violence. It takes serious disruption to get their heads out of the trough long enough to see the unhappiness. I feel for the current mayor because he is reaping the whirlwind the ANC sowed. We all know that salvation for the South African economy lies in SMME business development, but all the initiatives from government - like the Small Business Development Department are only interested in helping BLACK entrepreneurs, prey to the same racism as the past. So many entrepreneurs are leaving SA because they are the wrong colour and get the message that there is no future for them here because of the actions of others decades and centuries ago. Ironically the best black graduates also leave these shores. Each that goes takes a fragment of the hope for jobs for the people in these backwaters of hopelessness. It is high tragedy.
