Our Country

The problem in South Africa i believe is mainly embedded on education and professionalism. We have lack of engineers on our ministers and the cabinets. In our rural communities, there would be tenders handed out worth 2 million or so, either to construct roads or a community hall. The money would be spent however what was supposed to be would be incomplete. This is clear indication of incompetent personnel an act of unprofessionalism. One possible reason that comes out is that whoever was responsible to employing the contractors lacked the expertise in the area and probably believed all the feasibility results presented to them. Hence the common excuse, "the money was not enough". Another possible reason that i am not interested in entertaining is, people who are only eager to enrich themselves. For the sake of the well being of this country i will like to disbelieve the later reason however ever though tempted. We need well trained professionals i propose mainly engineers within our ministers, the measure of election should not be based on how the other one performed during the struggle against apartheid, such a measure is outdated and primitive. Look at China 90 % of the ministers are engineers and just look at how that country's economy is a danger to other economies. South Africans let us wake up, and put more value in education than politics.
