That might be why so many African countries fucked their economies up when the Europeans left in the 1950's and 1960's. They had no idea how they worked because they weren't shown how to because of how we Europeans treated them. Also, before we arrived they still lived in tribes mostly. Very different to how Europeans lived. 

 

(this is going off topic fast, so this is just me acknowledging the fact)

That's one explanation. But the question of how long it will take is one without any answer. My personal opinion seems steeped in skepticism. I have almost no faith in the people of this country. All I (ever) see is corruption, stupidity, incompetence and a complete and utter lack of foresight. I don't (ever) read the newspaper because it would turn me into one sad, bitter old man. Rather, I enjoy the amazingly beautiful country we have. It's just stunning.

FYI, South Africa is one of the most resource rich countries in the world. So fucking much minerals in our soil. We could be using it to create a sustainable future, instead it is squandered by the few (idiots) at the top.

Please tell me if I seem out of line.

I don't know that much about politics in South Africa, but with a guy like Jacob Zuma in power. This sounds about right. Unfortunately, society in general seems to disappoint like this, no matter what country it is. Many of us live in a so called democracy and yet we have little say in how it runs.
