2011 South African Census: The Long Overdue Update to the South African Statistical Reality Figures.

The envisioned 2011 Census of the South African population is a political powder-keg of potential information, as it will reveal the ANC's track record over the last 16 years in power and blow the lid off of the long contentious "National Unemployment Figure". As well as revealing the amount of foreign nationals living illegally in South Africa.

The National Census will be a critical judgement of the ANC's achievements to date (which is partly why the ANC has repeatedly refused to allow a new census to be carried out) and will reveal the magnitude of the ANC's success or failure on the giant screen of the national and interantional media. Some of these issues are: Housing (failed); Education (barely passed); Job Creation (failed); Economic Strategy (passed); Fiscal Competance (barely passed); Insitutional Transparency & Accountability (failed); Crime Fighting & General Law Enforcement (failed); Anti-Corruption Stance (failed); and Racial Reintergration & Reconciliation (barely passed).

For nearly ten years now the ANC has been putting the political spin on the media about the Real Unemployment Figure in South Africa and this has allowed them to dodge a ton load of bricks in regard to political accountability. For nearly ten years now, the opposition has been saying that the Unemployment Figure is a lot higher than or even double that which is officially accepted by the government. Some have even suggested that the figure is more likely to be between 35 and 60 percent of the national population, which is completely astounding but believable.

The other increasingly vexing issue for the ANC is the presence and effect of the Illegal Immigrants living within South Africa's borders and their effect on the South African economy. Even by conservative estimates, there are roughly 10 to 15 million foreign nationals residing in South Africa, which isthe equivalent of one quarter (25%) of the natural citizens within its populations. This is an astounding concept to understand, in that South Africa is one of the only countries in the world that has elected to accept, support and assimilate foreign nationals equivalent to one-quater of its natural inhabitants. The presence of these illegal immigrants puts an enormous strain on the South African economy and on its social infrastructure, as well as severely limiting the already strained resources (Land, Water, Food, Jobs, Housing & Health Provision).

The presence and social effects of the illegal immigrants on the citizens of South Africa has caused an outcry, becuase South Africa can not provide for its own population, as it is (in any logical analysis of the issue), and is grossly falling behind and short of its obligations to its citizens and voter demographics.

One can only hope that with the completion of the 2011 National Census, the government of South Africa will accept the rsponsibilities arising from it and pull this country out of its quagmire or otherwise someone else will have to do it for them...
