I’m from Zimbabwe.. 10 years ago when I was in highschool I told my SA friends that they needed to vote the ANC out or they’ll become like Zim. They laughed and told me SA could never become like Zim. A gross underestimation of what institutional incompetence can do to a country
@FOHguy
I worked at a private concert event in Johannesburg. We stayed in a walled compound and were told that under no circumstances could they be responsible for our safety if we left after dark. To go to and from the venue, we traveled by convoy with heavily armed guards. It was surreal.

Putting idiots in charge yields piss poor results ...... (shocker)

As a South African who doesn’t want to ever leave this place, this video makes me so sad and so angry. The absolute and complete incompetence and astounding corruption of the past and present president and other ANC leaders has royally screwed us all, no matter what colour we are
@gagenott
I'm a South African. My dad's a primary school teacher. He spent years unable to get a stable teaching position here - something this video didn't discuss is how rampant and extreme the unemployment situation has gotten throughout the country, in every industry. My mother has been stuck in a job she hates for over a decade, with no room for promotion or growth and a salary that barely puts food on the table for all of us. The unemployment situation means looking for another job has simply never been feasible. The odds of finding anything else are slim at best. My dad finally found a job offer from Malaysia and took it. There teachers are well-paid and sought-after. We saved enough that he was able to bring my teenage sister along too. The situation in this country has torn my family apart. But if he stayed, they'd just be stuck in the same trap of desperation and poverty, with never enough money to contribute towards pension/retirement. For the people who can't afford to live in secured, gated communities, have private generators/solar panels, buy purified water, etc, who don't have high-paying and secure jobs and can handle the ever-increasing cost of living, the situation seems so hopeless.

As a South African living currently in Johannesburg I'm not exaggerating when I say this is just the tip of the iceberg we have a lot more social issues. The collapse is unavoidable at this stage ANC has done too much damage.
@JohnDeNom
SA has been a slow rolling Zimbabwe. In Zim, they disenfranchised their entire white population immediately. SA has been doing the same thing, but by increments. The ANC started stealing from day 1. When you push out the competent of the wrong color to install your loyal but incompetent cronies at industrial levels, you get the situation you see in SA where the most basic of services cannot be provisioned. The wealthy and the competent have been leaving SA continually since the 90's.
@malbirrell
A mate of mine was a farmer in Zimbabwe and left with nothing but his life. He told me years ago that SA was going to end up exactly the same as Zim
@Jin-Ro
I work for one of the biggest Corporations in the world with a presence in SA. We employ thousands there in two locations. We're almost certainly going to close them and relocate them to the Middle East and UK. The constant thefts of copper which takes down the network in the area, the load shedding, the pilfering by staff is unsustainable. We're not the only Corp that is leaving or considering it. SA is a failed State, and there's no getting around that fact.
@egregiousdave
I spent three months in South Africa, seeing the whole country as a backpacker in 2002. People kept telling me it would be another Zimbabwe in 20 years. I wouldn't dream of going back - which is sad, as it's one of the world's most beautiful countries.

A friend of mine was involved in the construction of Kusile power station. Kusile had a timeline of about 18 months and was supposed to be completed in time for the 2010 World Cup. It was finally finished in 2021. It was a source of many South African jobs and essentially the contractor was happy to take their cost plus and the government was happy to have a big employer and a perpetual source of bribes and nobody cared if it was ever finished. Periodically, anonymous vandals would come in and destroy months of construction and they rebuilt it over and over again. It was a 13 year makework jobs program. South African government in a nutshell.
@BobfromSydney
The ANC is the real load that South Africa needs to shed. It's a shame they have not policed their own internal corruption.
@sophrapsune
The regression of South Africa is ultimately just a symptom of the ANC’s epic levels of corruption and misgovernance.
@Aldo-d6z
What did South Africans expect to happen? Just look at Zimbabwe to see your futures. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.
@WingS1403
I am a South African now living abroad. My entire family left SA one by one. My 5 siblings and I all left to different countries, wherever we found opportunities. last to leave was my parents 4 years ago. I miss SA so much but I know I have no future there, and without my parents there it doesn’t even feel like home anymore. I’m very fortunate to have the means to emigrate and start a new life, but I don’t personally enjoy being a foreigner everywhere I go. But most of all I’m terribly sad that my family is scattered across the globe. This happens to a lot of South Africans. If you are lucky enough to live near family don’t take it for granted.
@PietSkiet-nf7jl
I grew up in South Africa. The reason for the collapse and immanent implosion of South Africa is the corrupt ANC. The energy problem is just one of many.
@Codyray17ify
My nephew did part of his internship, to become a doctor in South Africa.....he said an ER doctor in Canada could go his entire career without ever seeing a stab wound to the heart.....In South Africa....you'll see one...every day!
