Poverty In The Land Of Riches - South Africa

Before 1994 South Africa practiced a vicious system of oppression. The divisions
were clear and vivid. The enemy of the people was well defi ned and clear.
Now let us look back at the history of our people from 1994. We are today in the
democratic reign of the fourth democratic president of RSA.
But still the great majority of our people has hardship and continues to suffer in agony.
There is no apartheid and so who should we blame? People are unhappy and angry.
This in our time is danger.
People blame and hate each other as they compete for scarce government resources.
People blame foreigners as the cause of their current state of suffering. People are
misled to blame and attack our Councillors and other government offi cials. They are
confused by the results and causes and by the causes and results. The time is now for
you and me to make an attempt in defi ning the enemy of the people.
