Chart: FANTASTIC: South Africa irreparably damaged – Non-Stop decline – Collapse inevitable!

(005320.38-:E-003569.93:N-HO:R-SU:C-30:V)   

[It delights me that this rotten system which was foisted upon the Whites, who resisted it for all they were worth, is in irreparable decline. The communist ANC was our enemy. And these communists were supported mainly by Russia but also China. They were forced upon us by the Western world as well. This chart below, however, is fascinating. It shows clearly the incredible impact of the 2008 global banking meltdown, that really, in many ways may be marking the end of Globalism. The US Govt bailed out the banks, but the system cannot really recover. This chart is up to 2019, and we know the meltdown was greatly accelerated in 2020 and recovery will be even harder now. Now in South Africa's case the Jews were pushing the Blacks and there was a fake period during which the Blacks and the Jews and White Elite were all working together. A critical turning point in that partnership was 2009 when Zuma defeated Mbeki and became President. This was when the Blacks became radicalized even more. So the fake success of this New South Africa had its peak round about 2008. Thereafter, despite the arrival of the Black Jew Ramaphosa, the system is interminably sick. There are other articles and analyses recently, on subscriber only websites, where they are also talking about the collapse of South Africa that is coming. This is excellent. Let this rotten system fall apart. I am amazed at how easily this system collapsed, without ever even facing any real threat either internally or externally. South Africa as a nation may cease to exist and the future is the breakup of this nation. I look forward to that day with great eagerness, and so should all Whites. Hope springs anew. Wonderful possibilities lie ahead when this Jewish multicultural rubbish comes to a sticky end. The author of this article is a Black intellectual, so he is busy crying about this. Jan]

The saddening decline of South Africa

11 March 2021

It is heart-breaking. It really is heart-breaking to see South Africa, a country that once had huge potential, continuously in decline. Now you may think that I’m just being alarmist – or that I hate my country. No, I am not being alarmist, and do not hate my country of birth. The statistics, show that Nelson Mandela’s Rainbow Nation is declining.

Max Holloway, the American mixed martial artist, once said “Numbers don’t lie. Women lie, men lie, but numbers don’t lie.” Last year’s gross domestic product (GDP) figures released this week by Stats SA, and the recent unemployment figures released last month, by the same government agency, did not lie.

South Africa’s economy contracted by 7% in 2020 – it is the biggest deep in 100 years. Furthermore, on the bad news; when one adjusts for inflation, South Africa’s GDP per capita reached its zenith in 2014 – and has since then been on the decline. The economy has not grown by more than 2% since 2013. Now that is again, bad news. It’s a reminder that we were already on the decline before the COVID19 pandemic. People forget this – and we must remind them. The governing elite that shapes our public policy, must not invoke COVID19 as an excuse.

With the population growth exceeding economic growth, South Africans will become poorer in the upcoming years.

We are still stuck in the longest downward business cycle since World War II. Unemployment has shot up to 43% – which is staggering in contrast to other major emerging markets. As more young people leave high school, and enter the workforce, unemployment in this moribund economy will rise and that will exacerbate the crisis. Disheartening, right? And demonstrates that we have a long hilly journey ahead of us on economic development.

Eskom, the government-owned electricity supplier remains a complete joke, and the biggest risk to the economy. As usual, it is mired in managerial controversies. This time its white CEO, Andre de Ruyter, is accused of racism – and the allegations will be investigated. Surely this will distract the reform process that is desperately needed in that company. The organizational politics will cost the company and the general public. That is another bad news for South Africa.

Amongst South Africa’s biggest problems – that slows our economic productivity – is the government’s excessive spending. Our government spends the money it has and doesn’t have – continuously accumulating deficits and debt. How irresponsible! This high propensity to spend by politicians is not going anywhere anytime soon – as famed economist Mike Schussler wrote in his post-budget analysis last month.

Over the past decade the government has always missed its debt-to-GDP targets. The actual debt-to-GDP ratios were bigger than what they had initially projected. So, this history indicates that we would be naïve to believe that these African National Congress (ANC) politicians will meet their debt stabilization targets in the next four years, and beyond.

South Africa lags behind other major emerging markets on the key economic fundamentals. The very high unemployment numbers will slow our economic recovery post the COVID19 pandemic – which will prolong our economic crisis.

It is poor decision-making from the ruling party the ANC that got us here – and of course the people who vote for it. One gentleman who served in Thabo Mbeki’s administration once told me that the outcome of the ANC’s 52nd elective conference in Polokwane in December 2007, imposed great harm on South Africa’s democracy and post-1994 economic gains. It was hard to disagree with him.

Some though, see the Great Recession of 2008 as the cause of South Africa’s decline. But that argument is weak. Because before 2008, South Africa’s economic growth rates were almost the same as global growth rates. But then after, South Africa’s growth diverged from the world’s. The country underperformed the world drastically, and domestic policy under the ANC was instrumental in that underperformance.

It is hard to see South Africa’s economy bouncing back to roughly 4% economic growth under the ANC government. The party remains factional – cannot formulate coherent pro-market and pro-business policy. People accused of corruption still hold powerful seats, and Jacob Zuma remains a divisive figure in the party. The party is rotten to the core, that we are now witnessing its slow death.

There is nothing surprising about how decomposed the ANC has become in the last 26 years of its governance. Liberation movements across the African continent have evolved into corrupt, repressive machines over the past 60 years of Africa’s independence. This ANC reminds us of this African history.

The saddest news is that in this dark period of our economic times, more skilled professionals are leaving South Africa, emigrating to better countries. This is according to the recruiting firm, Induku Consulting Group. These professionals are emigrating to better countries. Countries that are better by corruption, economic advancement, crime, unemployment, and by opportunities.

We have a big problem, that only we voters can resolve with the power of our vote.
