Wrecked Economy: Perfect Example of an Ungoverned Country
The Ramaphosa faction in the ANC and its radical allies attempted to change perceptions, emotions and realities in their quests to gain absolute power and wealth.
Despite being exposed as a nefarious disinformation operation, Bell Pottinger's claim of "white monopoly capital" to protect the Guptas and their political masters remains their driving call for action. Even President Cyril Ramaphosa admitted it was false until he needed to use it for his own purposes.
It has underwritten the greatest division and deepening racism in our country's history.
It serves as a wonderful distraction to make people forget the government's failures.
With the amount of looting and stealing that has been exposed, it can be safely assumed that black monopoly capital far exceeds white monopoly capital.
The difference lies in how some of this capital was obtained.
Perhaps the time has come for some honesty – such as the fact that South Africa is a perfect example of an ungoverned country led by self-entitled, non-leader leaders.
They have led the charge to de-develop what once was a developed country.
Following their deindustrialisation programme, they believe that the greater the smouldering ruin of the country, the more it can be framed as "success".
