I am really passionate when it comes to politics and problems in the world. It just seems that I'm a pacifist when it comes to making changes. And then I do tend to become a bit racists when it comes to watching the news and hearing "Tshwane" instead of "Pretoria".
That being said, I received an e-mail called "The death of Johannesburg", and I wanted to cry. All the beautiful buildings that once were very classy, are all now filthy, burnt down, broken, and infested with low life, "I can't help myself" humans.
So, I have more plans in my future. I want to buy old, ran-down, broken houses and buildings, restore them to their historic glory, or make them modern.
I don't know the business of selling houses, nor have I studied architecture, but luckily you can hire people these days. So, fighting crime and making the world look better is hopefully in my destiny.
I truly think that if I can buy old houses and buildings, I can renovate them, make them safe, beautiful, and maybe, if there are 3 meter walls around a house, bring down crime.
Financing will be a problem... For now...
And then, the last thing I would really really really really like to buy is ESKOM. Researchers say that in 2012 there will be no electricity in South Africa, yet they have the resources to start building nuclear power stations. I don't know much about nuclear power stations, other than it is extremely expensive to build, and that it works on Uranium or something, which South Africa is rich in. Is it that hard to think?
Same goes for Sasol. Bio fuel has already been developed in South Africa, which is better for the environment, and your car... Although Bio fuel still has petrol in it, its a lot less. And if Sasol can pull their fingers out of their arses, maybe our country can be completely independent. It would be nice having not to import petrol from England and USA, which in effect can make us a richer country, and then maybe the government can start fixing municipal problems and build houses as promised for 16 years now.
And then when it comes to the farmers and their farms, I always get sad when I look at a satellite image of South Africa. It just seems that our Kalahari desert is eating its way into our flora populated areas. In Hermanus people have a water filter that filters salt water to drinkable water. If this can be done in a greater scale, we can fill up our dams and rivers and maybe try and get the desert a bit wetter.
Global warming is taking place, but I don't believe that the poles will completely melt and that we will all be killed in a big flood. That myth happened in the Bible already.
Maybe I should run for President one day, then I can make sure that something good happens in this country.
Carte Blanche had a story about the poisonous water in the Western Cape. People are getting sick from the water, one man even contracted a flesh eating virus and lost a leg. How is this not addressed?
The state of our hospitals are also gruesome. The municipality is pathetic. The police service is corrupt. Our education system is becoming a joke. The last thing that makes me rage is the fact that a South African citizen can't get a working holiday visa anywhere nice anymore. The USA is nice, but I think Europe and Australia might be better.
If only I could change everything for the best. Starting with nuclear power stations and bio fuel, then tackling poverty and social circumstances. If standards were set higher in this country, things might get better. For instance, if the municipality had a timed obligation to fix problems like after a pothole or broken light got reported, it has to be fixed within 24 hours, there would be a lot less problems.
If hospitals had standards for their staff members, our hospitals would look a lot better. That being said, I think all hospitals should have lower rates and they should all look the same and have high quality service. Because that's what they are, they ARE service providers.
When it comes to crime, maybe there should be a law that obligates all shops to ask for ID's for purchases. But then shops need scanners for ID's. It would be an easy way to catch wanted persons. The bad thing would be that if the power went out, controls would not be able to be maintained. So, the correct systems should be in place to do it manually, and then if a cashier authorises a transaction with a stolen credit or debit card, they should also be taken to court, just because they are aiding the criminals.
Aye!
All the outstanding work in the country... Unfortunately we can not depend on our president to see that our problems are sorted out.
