If someone wants work there should be simple work available - planting sweet potatoes or whatever. How do we know how many would accept a simple job if no job is offered? If the blacks survived before we arrived on corn they grew etc why could they not do it now on a small piece of land?

Why must they be given farms that they cannot run,can't they develop their own farms,that could create jobs for them and keep them off our necks.I don't think they are willing or capable.

Who says they can't shoot straight - they killed nine of their own with an anti-aircraft gun in the Freestate in 2007. These are highly trained individuals as you can imagine. Did you see how they leopard crawled over the Union building grounds when Police fired rubber bullets at them. Be afraid, be varrry afraid.

It might be due to the undeveloped limbic system in the brain of some people. It is the primary area of the brain that deals with stress. As a result of undeveloped limbic systems some people dont care where theyl sleep tonight because they dont stress about it!

There could be a public works program to build houses on land so others could use them as farmhouses. I think over-regulation with minimum wages has hurt many people. People could work for food and a small amount of extra money if things were not so regulated. If people are not occupied there could be trouble. Communal farms is also a possibility

Well, prostitution will soon be legalised and with the 2010 SWC around the corner, you have to be fully prepared...surely nothing less is expected from our well trained and highly disciplined soldiers? Why look for a trick in a sleazy part of town when you can visit your nearest army base...and enjoy true african hospitality in safe surroundings!

Agree John we shouldn't tar all with the same brush, but majority rules. So at a ratio of about 1 to 18 it an uphill battle. Here most have 2 degrees and you meet fantastic people. But with zero intelligence and ambition, its like working with robots, they only do what you tell them. If they were taught to paint down and up they always paint down and up. Never experiment with left and right or using a larger brush. Had a problem with a painter (has a metallurgical degree but cant find work) trying to paint with thick paint (made a right cick up of the job) when I asked why he didn't increase the viscosity by adding thinners, he replied "nobody told me to do that, they said I must paint the handrails"

trust me, I know, I closed a factory because I simply could not put up with this kind of ***** one more day.... however have any of you considered the diffrence the african diet makes to their productivity..try eating millie pap for a week. I have done this experiment and you feel like ***** and you slow up and your brain stops working..now try it with rice and you are ok..

Agreed with Pap experimant (keep you full for longer but that about ti - you feel sluggish and almos zobie like) but try convince the majority to switch to rice..... aint gonna happen unless goverment hikes prices on maize and drops on rice.... the unforntunate deciding factor is 99% price related to what you eat or dont at that level of poverty.
