Leaders of our times and the systems in place

Where were you during this time? Life goes around a circle. We need strong leaders who will put South Africa before their needs. We really support whatever our leaders are doing. The only thing we need from them is that,"they must be strong and act within the constitution of our country."All is well and in place, we have to be strong and be active citizens. Let us master the numbers and work towards building a better nation amongst the nations of the earth.

• We always see things coming but we choose to ignore them.
• We always think that burning tyres and vandalising will solve our issues.
• We don't held our leaders accountable.
• We sell our vote with opinion.

 Must we say, we saw it coming? That won't help. The business of the day must go on. Education has to be improve so that people get to understand what is at stake if they don;t take part in the decisions of the country. Your vote is not only the best you can do to steer the country to the best places. You need to take part and be involve in the building of South Africa. Be an active citizen. What kind of South Africa do you want to see in 20 years from now? Are you taking part towards that?

Look at what happens to Gauteng. Good projects where initiated but they have failed. What went wrong? And who is to be blamed and take accountability?

• What are we going to do with the money(debts - in this case money invested) already been spend on e-tolls?
• What went wrong with free Wi-Fi? Money has been spend on infrastructure. Almost every school and park has connections but now they are white elephant. How much money was invested in this projects? Who has to be accountable?

The list goes on and on. Let us be good citizens and act within the constitution of the country.

Lets share what we know to be correct. Lets act and protect our collective interest. Lets initiate projects. We mustn't follow what was imposed on us and those who impose are not our friends. Let's show the world that we can act and live according to our words.

Learning about #VAT in South Africa

We all want progress in life. We are all after success. Things has been happening and they will continue happening.

I don't see any problem with #VAT going up. VAT - Value Added Tax was introduced in 1978 under the name GST - General Sales Tax.

• 03/07/1978 at 4%
• 01/03/1982 at 5%
• 01/09/1982 at 6%

In 1982 it was increased twice.

• 01/02/1984 at 7%
• 01/07/1984 at 10%

In 1984 it was increased twice by 3%? Was life expensive then?

• 25/03/1985 at 12%

2% increase in 1985

• 08/05/1989 at 13%
• 30/09/1991 at 10% now been called VAT
• 07/04/1993 at 14%

In 1993 we were used to 13% there is no problem.

25 years later #VAT goes up by 1% you want to complain? We want development.

Education will be free but it want finances.

Electricity was not offered to all.

School feeding schemes were not offered to all.

Government houses was not offered to all.

Those who complain about #VAT going up must really get there fact straight. I continue by saying they don't want development. In 1983 I use to buy loaf of bread at 0.35 cents now in 2018 is at R13,00. I think is the price they can complain about. Leave #VAT alone.
