Jimmy Manyi's comments about there being too many Coloureds in the Western Cape is a very bad sign for South Africa, as it shows that the ANC want to take the country in the same direction as Zimbabwe... This definately is not the same ANC that Nelson Mandela strived to lead when he came out of Victor Vorster Prison in the 1990s!
The recent comments by Jimmy Manyi that there are too many "Coloureds" in the Western Cape is racist to the extreme and puts the ANC as a party in the same category as the, now defunct, National Party, which they fought against to end Apartheid and which the whole world denounced! The facts behind the comment are that the ANC's Affirmative Action Policy is failing ludicrously and the ANC is trying to blame the "Coloureds" for the gross inefficiencies of this anachronistic policy... The comment (by Jimmy Manyi) is the equivalent of the Nazi's blaming the Jews for the economic problems in Germany before the start of WW2!
What is next for the ANC? Are they going to try and repartition South Africa like what happened to India and Pakistan in the 1940s & 1950s? Or are they going todevise their own version or brand of the Nazi's "Final Solution"? Or are they going to try and implement Mugabesque style ethnic cleansing that has driven millions of Zimbaweans from their native country?
One thing for sure is that the ANC will never be able to call themselves a "liberation movement" again, asthey are now the Neo-Aparthied government in South Africa! Already many people living in South Africa are saying that "The ANC didn't object to the reality of Apartheid South Africa, they just regretted not being the party controlling it!"; and many of these people are of African ethnicity!
The South African Planning Minister, Trevor Manuel (ex-Finance Minister) lambasted Jimmy Manyi for the comment, but other ANC leaders were quick to defend Manyi and even to praise his words! This included Gwede Mantashe and Julius Malema... The atrocity of the whole situation is that the "Coloureds" were too Black for the National Party's Apartheid South Africa and now they are too White for the ANC's Neo-Aparthied South Africa....
The difference is that the so-called "Coloured " citizens of South Africa are more than fed up with the ANC's bogus promises, statements and blatant racist behavior! The problem is that the once staunch allies of the African ethnic group's aspirations could very quickly turn to outrage and conflict... The "Coloureds" could start a rebellion of their own in the same fashion and style of the current civilian uprisings in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain and Iran!
It really is high time that the ANC is removed from power, as they no longer have the interests of all South Africans in mind!

The 2011 Budget & It's Benefits For The South African Citizen
So here is the long awaited Budget speech, which was so earnestly awaited, after President Zuma's State of the Nation Speech. But What does it actually mean for the average citizen and how will it effect us?
Well... Here are some of the facts:
Spending to support economic recovery and improve service delivery
R12.2 billion for grants, including the extension of the child support grant up to 18 years of age.
R2.7 billion to provide literacy and numeracy workbooks in all 11 official languages for learners in grades
R to 9, and R1 billion to increase subsidies for higher education institutions.
R15.1 billion for occupation-specific dispensations in education, health and correctional services.
R2.2 billion for a revised salary structure in the South African National Defence Force.
R8.4 billion to expand provision of antiretroviral therapy.
R2.5 billion to increase labour intensity in public works, R1.8 billion for clothing and textile production
incentives and R1.8 billion for the automotive production development programme.
R1 billion to the criminal justice sector for efforts to reduce crime and corruption.
R2.8 billion for public transport, roads and rail infrastructure.
R2.5 billion for municipal infrastructure to support universal access targets for water and sanitation, and
R6.7 billion to municipalities to cover the increased cost of providing free basic electricity.
R1 billion more for rural development, R1.2 billion for water and sanitation infrastructure for rural households
and R1.5 billion for the Land Bank to support rural development.
R1 billion to speed up provision of housing and R500 million for bulk water infrastructure.
The old age pension is increased by R70 a month to R1 080 and the child support grant is increased by
R10 a month. Which is actually atrocious, as no one especially an elderly person will be able to pay for housing, food and necessities with a measily R1080!
