Great show. I watched tonight for the first time.
Having only seen the one-on-one sessions on Xenophobia tonight I am not sure what was said with regard to policy r.e. Visa's and limiting the intake of foreigners at a time and the control thereof. As much as I agree with the judge in blue tonight about parliament not being able to control Xenophobia.I do believe that if immigration is policed more effectively Xenophobia would not be as much of a problem in South Africa. I must commend government for a job well done with regard to damage control by educating the country via the SABC when Xenophobia was a hot topic in South Africa.
Johan saying that South Africans should not be overlooked when in competition for work with foreigners opposite Ayanda's point that South Africans are lazy is something that should be looked into further. The work ethic of the South African population varies immensely. There has been an incredible undercurrent with regard to this fact in South African politics since we have lived in democracy. This needs to be addressed as the laziness Ayanda speaks of has been filtering down the pyramid for a long time.
The competition that both Zwelethu and Lesley spoke of would not be as much of an issue if there was better immigration control and people, both local and foreign, had a better work ethic.
In my opinion there are two solutions that could be discussed in more detail. The first being education. South African public education is the first big problem we have to contend with and there is so much that needs to be done to get the school system to where it should be. Inspections should be more detailed and there should be better control and harsher punishment for teachers who are not doing there jobs in allowing our children to reach their full potential. Secondly, I believe that there should be more support for small businesses. There is a lot being done, but there is always room for improvement. Government needs to focus on policy which supports people who are willing to take the initiative in being self-sufficient.
With these issues focused on government will not be bleeding itself dry as far as unnecessary aid is concerned and its citizens will learn the value of hard work. People will learn to respect others who do what they can to feed themselves and prosper. Peace is possible.
I'm looking forward to how the "Gender Inequality" episode will be tackled next week.
