This thing you're doing, calling the ANC communists, that's an apartheid era white Afrikaner thing.
Yeah maybe, but please enlighten me then what their current leaning is towards, state controlled monopoly or free market.
I also do not see any critical take on any of the points I am mentioning, just boiling my point to an apartheid white Afrikaner thing. 32 years since the end of apartheid and 30 since the first democratic elections (ANC has been in government since) and all failings of the current government they still blame on apartheid, not the state capture and infrastructure they let go to ruin through kickbacks and corruption. Fuck look at our Energy, we have daily blackouts called loadshedding, been that way since 2007. Government has known about it since the 1998 white paper detailing the looming energy shortage. They sat on their hands and blocked any private company to build or create a powerplant because government should be the only one controlling power (state owned monopoly). When they built the two biggest coal fired power stations in the world, both have never been fully functional due to the corruption where the ANC party's Chancellor House (their parties private investment vehicle) along with Hitachi lead to cutting corners and stealing the difference. Heck the project ballooned in cost and Eskoms dept is like a chain around this country's fiscal neck. Only a bit more than 2 years ago did government allow permits for the private market to enter the electricity generation market with severe limits like the 100MW generation (luckily a year ago they removed this limit).
