Prof William Gumede laments how the ANC shut down technical and vocational colleges. This is true, the ANC did do that. What Prof Gumede doesn’t say is that the ANC did all of that because of neoliberals like him who wanted a small government and for the markets to lead the economy. How else was the ANC going to implement GEAR and its fiscal discipline policies without cutting public spending somewhere? Decade after decade, the expert analysts insisted the government was broke demanded that it meet the deficit targets required by global financial markets. So the ANC had to streamline the public sector, and closing or merging vocational colleges was an easy way to slash the budget🤷🏾‍♂️ Then there was the part about “the knowledge economy” trend which pushed university education and “white-collar” services. Again, the idea was that the market, not state-run colleges, should dictate skills training. By the time the government realised that a developing economy cannot survive without large numbers of plumbers, teachers, nurses and welders, the infrastructure for training them had already been gutted. Many intellectuals and advisors who now cry wolf about the “skills gap” or the “failure of the state” were the same architects and cheerleaders of the policies that dismantled the state’s capacity to train artisans.

In 1977, Johannesburg was just Britain in Africa, with Sunday lunches, manicured lawns, charity drives, elite English institutions like Roedean School for girls and King Edward VII School for boys. Of course, this entire ecosystem of suburban peace was entirely sustained by the Black labour force of Soweto and Alexandra, which had just experienced the world’s most brutal wave of State repression since the start of Apartheid. While White residents held charity drives for distressed dogs, South African police officially admitted to killing 229 Black people in the townships, though United Nations estimates placed the true toll at over 1000 dead...

Israel sold Iran weapons in the 1980s under the Ayatollah Khomeini. Israel wasn’t afraid of Iran in the 1980s as they saw Iraq as the greater threat. It was only when Iraq became weaker that they turned to saying Iran is the existential threat.

Not sure I’ve seen Dr Aaron Motsoaledi this...worked up before: Other countries, other countries don’t accept rascals. We are the only country that accepts rascals. Even the United Nations is angry with us. When we become strict, people call it xenophobia. Even the United Nations is angry that South Africa has got a tendency, because of something called democracy, to accept all the rascals of the world. When people do wrong things in their country, they run here. What do you say about that guy from Czechoslovakia called Radovan Krejcir? He ran all the way from Czechoslovakia to come and do nonsense here. Now the United Nations is looking for one guy from Rwanda. He has been given refugee status in South Africa. In Rwanda, he threw a hand grenade into a bus full of women and children and he ran to South Africa and welcomed him and said refugee. And we must keep on keeping quiet, for the scare of the word xenophobia. This must change. We can no longer allow our country to be a stomping ground for all the radicals and all the lowlifes of the world running here and saying they are using our democracy.
