   I have recently received the following most insightful and superbly   
   analysed edition of the TLU/TAU (SA)'s Intenational Bulletin, which   
   illustrates expertly the current appalling situation in the "new" South   
   Africa, putting it in full historical context :-

   WE REPEAT OURSELVES ENDLESSLY, BUT THEY ARE NOT LISTENING. DOES THE   
   AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS CARE? AN EMPHATIC NO!   
      
      
      
      
      
   How does a citiz enry handle a government that is impervious to   
   criticism, cavalier in its actions and totally unable to understand   
   cause and effect? The African National Congress’ (ANC) thinking   
   processes are foreign to rationality, as understood throughout the sane   
   world of successful nations. Failed states are many, and the reasons are   
   varied, and obvious. Ideology, whether modern or based on the twisted   
   ramblings of historical ideologues, is the cat among the pigeons. Where   
   ideology cannot produce food for the people, or fix a tap, or manage an   
   economy, rationality should eventually triumph. In 1989, communism self   
   destructed, with the help of sanity. It was a monumental failure that   
   cost millions of lives. But there are those who stick to a failure like   
   gravy to rice, and the ANC takes the cake in this regard.  Against all   
   factual proof, the ANC continues on a path of continual bungles.(They   
   call these  fiascos “challenges”). This attitude, to be kind, is lunacy.   
   It is Myanmar, it is North Korea and others of this ilk.   
      
      
      
   The ANC government’s thinking moments are infused not by ways to improve   
   our land but by ways to grab what is not theirs, to sabotage that which   
   they did not create, and to hold on to power at all costs. President   
   Ramaphosa is busy with his umpteenth plan for progress and prosperity –   
   this time he offers 3.5% growth by 2029 under his “30 Key Reforms”   
   project.  This is meaningless humbug of course because his party’s   
   previous plans and predictions have resulted in a country without basic   
   water provision, endemic corruption (nothing escapes the ANC’s cookie   
   jar pilfering), no food or medicine at large public hospitals, the   
   infrastructural collapse of South Africa’s biggest city, persistent   
   illegal electricity connections throughout the country, and more and   
   more BEE seizures because the ANC cannot successfully grow a potato or   
   mend a pipe, never mind run a country.   
      
      
      
   Moody’s rating agency has downgraded South Africa to a (hopeful) 1.5%   
   growth, lower than that of the country’s National Treasury at   
   (hopefully)1,9%.   
      
      
      
   CAUSE AND EFFECT   
      
      
      
   Consequence appears to be a foreign concept in these parts. Cause and   
   effect as a process is an unassailable fact of history, yet it appears   
   to be entirely absent within the mindset of the ANC. It has its roots in   
   DNA and history. What is sown eventually reaps. Reflecting on the   
   history of the sub Saharan sector of this large continent, little if   
   anything was created to last, nothing was planned, and much was   
   destroyed. In Dr. Andrew Smith’s “Journal of his expedition into the   
   interior of South Africa 1834/6” , described as “an authentic narrative   
   of travels and discoveries, the manners and customs of the Native tribes   
   and the physical nature of the country”, Smith wrote and sketched what   
   he saw.   
      
      
      
   It is a masterpiece whose counterpart would rarely be seen today, given   
   our instant news, the plethora of social opinions and the almost   
   suffocating barrage of information and just plain noise to which   
   contemporary citizenry is exposed. Smith’s book is an eye opener. It   
   explains a lot and why South Africa today is being undermined from   
   within, by destroyers of monumental efficacy. Their historical roots   
   should have been taken into account before handing over the country to   
   the crushingly inept ANC.   
      
      
      
   ANDREW SMITH   
      
      
      
   Trained as a doctor, Smith arrived in South Africa in 1821 and stayed   
   until 1837. He recorded for a government 6 000 miles away what he saw   
   and to whom he spoke, and his illustrator Charles Davidson Bell (a   
   surveyor on the staff of the Cape Town Surveyor General’s department)   
   sketched hundreds if not thousands of pictures of what he also saw.   
   These included native kraals (as described in the book), cattle on the   
   hoof, game hunting with spears, medicine men administering their   
   potions, warriors dressed in fighting regalia, women grinding corn,   
   grass and adobe huts, and dancing with spears. He talked with various   
   chiefs of minor tribes who sometimes sought protection from other tribal   
   marauders .   
      
      
      
   He visited some parts of the country “in times of turmoil”. He refers to   
   the Mfecane and “the depredations and massacres initiated by the Zulus   
   in their wars of expansion.” He met Chief Mzilikazi who founded the   
   powerful Ndebele kingdom.   
      
      
      
   This was what Smith encountered in the early part of the nineteenth   
   century with reference to the “native tribes” for which he was given a   
   mandate on which to report. At the same time, millions in the rest of   
   the world were building railways, high rise buildings, roads, factories,   
   cars. They were setting up modern sanitation structures and   
   experimenting with communications systems. The commercial steam engine   
   was already more than 100 years old. Naturally Smith also wrote of the
