i feel you GVV. i think what you just said sits on the minds of millions of South Africans. however i think you have only scratched the surface of the problems we are facing now. i think we are heading for a serious chain reaction which will utterly collapse our entire economy. i also hate being pessimistic. but i think the one big problem nowadays is that noone are realists anymore, just optimists hoping for the better. did it get any better zimbabwe? if one looks at the oil prices, interest rates and our beloved eksdom for one, where will it lead us? look at the building industry and how many people in our country survive around the building industry. take the industry away and what is left? increase in unemployment, people losing their assets they worked so hard for, and probably still owe a ***** load to the bank, banks failing due to people not able to pay their bonds, lack of business confidence and the failure of businesses around this sector. i see it first hand everyday and speak to many who are directly hit by this. i wouldn't be surprised if this is linked or contributes to the latest xenophobic attacks. and for those of you that think a recession may be coming, i think we are already in it and to blinded by political garbage not to see it.
