South Africa is in a FAR BETTER SITUATION than many African countries to the north of it. There were indigenous Africans, here, who were prepared to sit down with those who were white, indigenous, South Africans and hammer out a Constitution by which this country could be governed. Needless to say, we don't have "perfection" here, but it is a vast improvement compared to other African states that pulled down Colonial flags as fast as they could because the poorly informed and poorly educated masses were lead by the nose by those who were out to vastly enrich themselves and their often "financial backers" who were hell bent on taking what they could from those countries with virtually no benefit passing on to the indigenous populace. I have been putting forward another form of "foreign aid" because if one raises up the standard and level of education and living standards and basic infrastructure that actually benefits the indigenous population, then such an African state can also have the level and numbers of educated, trained and skilled BLACKS as we have here in South Africa. Once again, that's not to say that the ultimate has been achieved. However, we do have BLACK engineers of various disciplines, doctors, accountants, lawyers, electricians, plumbers, chemists, businessmen and women who own and run their own businesses and employ many hundreds of South Africans, etc, etc. And virtually all of these Black South Africans have obtained their university degrees and diplomas from our own Universities and Technical Colleges, most of which stand equal with any in the world. And when you get better educated and informed Africans, who can now live according to a higher standard of living, because of what they have achieved in terms of a Professional qualification, you can then also get the leader of your official Opposition in Parliament as being a Black man who takes the government to task when appropriate, and whose political party contains the largest number of White membership. So you ask me, "Do they work in South Africa ?" ... well I trust I've gone some way in answering your question. Maybe I can ask you a question or two ... "Have you been to South Africa to see and experience the country for yourself ? And if so, how long have you stayed here, and where ?" I have to be honest and say I haven't stayed in the Americas for any great length of time and wouldn't know, as maybe an indigenous American would know, what would or wouldn't work for that country. But who would have thought that someone of the calibre of a Donald Trump would find himself elected as the President of that nation. And if anyone could ensure Extraordinary Solutions could be achieved for his country than I suggest he could ..... so who can say what manner of solution, 'dream-wise' or not, will be achieved under his leadership ....
