Easier said than done. The ANC preached that they would educate the rural previously downtrodden masses. All they have done is keep them poor, uneducated and downtrodden, but give them empty promises, a free t-shirt and a crappy concert every 5 years and they are voted in again. They also play racial politics to keep the uneducated majority in check.

This is how they've managed to keep a hold onto power. It is slipping gradually, but not before they take the country down with them.

Thanks mfungu, if they carry on allowing Russia and china to drain the country of resources they will find themselves as poor as the people they keep down trodden that's for sure.

In some ways I wish that would happen to those corrupt elites, but sadly that would come at the cost of the masses.
