Why South Africa is crap and the sky is blue

The violence in South Africa doesn't need to be curbed - it needs to be focused on and targeted, and stood up against. But as with everything in life, there are two sides to every story. The only way you can get people to hear both sides of the argument, is to have an argument with two sides. Only then can you see the underlying reasons, the cause to the effect, and perhaps even a solution.
Every country has it's problems. South Africa is not uniquely South African in this.It might not be a completely 1:1 ratio, but we do have good things happening. Corruption and death occur everywhere - South Africa is just... more diversified in its main aspects of corrupt organisations.

Even if every report is accurate, which it might be (it might also be exaggerated or false), the real point is that the people have a reason to be like this.
There is an old South African saying 'die appel val nie ver van die boom af nie'. And in this case, you have to look at the forefathers of our great country, and our present benefactors, to understand that truly, the sons will take after their fathers, and the daughters their mothers.

The Real Realist of Blogspot is to be applauded for his astute ability to recognise disaster and herald it loudly. But he is a cut and paste doomsayer. Every nation has it's drawbacks, it's downfalls, it's sins and shame.

Let's not let forget that just as children grow up imperfectly and in fits and starts, we will also grow past this time.
