Gloom And Despondency Have Never Defeated Adversity.

You Can Say To This Unemployed Family, People Are Indigent, That They Must Pay For Water And This And That And Refuse Removal And So On. They Have No Money.

We Can't Treat The Matter Of Black Economic Empowerment As Just The Redistribution Of Existing Wealth. It Really Has To Focus On New Investment, On Growth, On Development Of Employment And So On And So On.

Clearly, There Needs To Be An Increase In The Capacity Of The Railway System. That's Why There Are These Projections Of Increasing The Capacity To Carry Freight On The Railways By 30% Over The Next Five Years Or So, Because The Volume Of Goods Moved Up And Down, Imports, Exports, And Within The Country, Has Grown Much Larger Than The Capacity. And This Is Part Of The Higher Costs To Business, Because Charges, For Instance, At The Ports Become Too High And They Put Up The Prices Of These Goods, Whether They Are Imports Or Exports. You Want To Reduce That.

I Think The Critical Point, Really, Is That We Need To Focus Black Economic Empowerment More On The Creation Of New Wealth Rather Than On These Big Deals That Have Been Characteristic Of This Process In The Past, Of People Going To Banks, Borrowing A Lot Of Money, Buying This And When The Shares Don't Perform Very Well, The Shares Go Back To The Banks, Because There's Other People Who Own This Anyway. I Think We Need To Re-focus It So That It Really Does Impact On Growth, New Investment, New Employment And A General, Better Spread Of Wealth In South Africa.

The Reports From The Scientific World Are That, There Is Very Sadly An Escalating Impact Of Hiv And Aids In South Africa.
