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).

Exactly, but the ANC referers to each member still as comrade, they share power with the South African Communist Party. Last year South Africa held Naval games with the Chinese and Russians, where the Russians tested their then not used hypersonic missiles. Lady R boat was another controversy where the sanctioned ship secretly docked a naval base here and loaded and offloaded mysterious contents, which the then diplomat for the US here said he bets his life this was to exchange weapons and bypass sanctions. Government quickly sealed the investigating and findings afterwards.

Fuck ANC and their wish for the reunion of the USSR, embrace of communism and the toppling of the Western world.

Yeah South African here, no the government, the ANC (Nelson Mandela’s party) have long lost their moral standing internationally. They have a strong relationship with Russia due to their communist ideals. They lost there moral standing in failing to arrest Bashar Al Assad when he visited South Africa, this is after an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court(ICC) was issued and they full on knew they had a duty (even our highest court found afterwards they failed their duty), even though Nelson Mandela signed the to be part of the ICC. The ANC has tried and did apply to leave the ICC but backtracked on it, it came up again when Putin wanted to come visit South Africa for the BRICS summit, when they again complained about the ICC and it’s arrest warrants (Putin did not attend). No ANC has stayed quiet in wars like the Ukraine for example (look how the voted in the UN if you want to), saying the do not want to get involved… They have become morally bankrupt and are not the ANC of Nelson Mandela anymore and have lost any right now to criticise any war. They are only doing it due to Israel’s relationship with the USA and the big bad “West”. This is cheap shots they are taking.

But I do believe there needs to be pressure on the Isreal government to de-escalate the response, we understand they have a right to defend themselves, but the current response is like using a hammer to remove a brain tumor
