    Wonderful thank you America, Germany, Britain, Netherlands and Switzerland, corruption is at the heart of South Africa's problem along with gross mismanagement.

    I bolded the part above where the official complain that the move was unprecedented and only used when governments violate their laws or commit human rights violations.

    Well I have news for them... The sewage flowing into river systems are a humanitarian disaster, a direct result of corruption and gross mismanagement. Not to lack of clean drinking water and sanitary living conditions a basic human rights, lack of security, health services and having to live with faeces flowing in the streets. Plenty human rights violated by the ANC's theft of government funds and mismanagement.

    ok so when you don't have clean water to drink and have to live with other people's faeces in your home... your backyard, your street... breathe it every day, your children play in it, your basic human rights violated.... we'll get China to write your government a letter

    I dont care who you get to write a letter, all im saying is that White Europeans calling South Africa corrupt is hypocritical. Your nations are in terminal debt and all that you have is fake and beyond your means even down to the fake money you have which doesnt exist. money doesnt grow on trees, one of the biggest white lies ever told. How about you show me your gold then we can start trading insults from a matter of perspective.

    There is no comparison between the scale of corruption around the world and the scale of corruption in South Africa. Within 20 years South Africans have gone from a good standard of living... even in poor areas there were warm running water for showers and clean toilets..... now living in absolute filth and sewage in their drinking water... some areas the taps have run dry. It's a catastrophe and when you find yourself in a similar situation due to corruption you can throw the hypocrisy claim around as much as you like,

    View the article to see how much money South African State owned Enterprises lose per second


    See how much money Eskom and SAA lose every second
    https://mybroadband.co.za/news/busi...ch-money-eskom-and-saa-lose-every-second.html

    Airline

    SAA – R5,670,000,000 loss yearly

    Electricity

    Eskom – R4,608,000,000 loss yearly

    Transport

    Prasa – R928,000,000 loss yearly

    Broadcaster

    SABC – R622,000,000 loss yearly

    Health services, water, sewage, are all completely run down... people are dying from a lack of healthcare, lack of water and lack of clean water and forced to live in faeces. There is no defending the African National Congress....and until that particular bullshit stops South Africans will continue to die and suffer.

    and meanwhile, america is in a $10 trillion debt to china THAT IT NEVER EVER INTENDS TO PAY. usa is the most corrupt nation in history and if it were a person it would be bankrupt and forced to live in a cardboard box.

    E... South Africa has stolen itself back into the stone age. You've never seen corruption like this... no one has. By even trying to compare this to any other... only demonstrate your incomprehension of the scale of corruption in South Africa. You need to steal a shitload of money... to bring an entire country to its knees.

    Honestly I don't blame you for not understanding... it's surreal

    ps Eskom is power utility supplier

    By 2030 the country will also be out of water

    maybe or maybe not, however, the white nations are even more corrupt and have no business lecturing SA unless they intend to reform their own wicked practices.

    Esau, you have no way of proving which nations by race are "more" corrupt.

    If you are saying mankind is corrupt by nature, I agree with you.

    given that the most corrupt nation on earth is america and america is run by white folk exclusively then id say its a fair bet to say that white folk are the most corrupt ppl. its not much of a stretch of the imagination really. i mean, who else has committed genocide on every continent? genocide is the pinnacle of corrupt behavior.

    We ship dollars, by the ton, to China. China ends up with lots and lots o' dollars. China would end up wih dollars coming out of their ears, if they didn't do something with them. They believe that the best thing for them to do is ship them back to us in exchange for promises.

    At the same time; if we didn't get those dollars back, we'd be reduced to checking under the sofa cushions to find more. Once all the furniture was upended, our only final recourse would be to print more dollars. This would result in more dollars in existence throughout the world.

    The result of that would be a reduced value of each individual dollar. That would lower the value of China's dollar holdings and the value of our debt that they hold. It would also cause the price of their products to rise in the US and the price of our products to fall throughout the world. This, from China's perspective, would be bad for business.

    China has no plans to cash in their chips, anytime soon.

    See: "balance of payments".

    Yes, but we don't believe in witchdoctors nor slice body parts off of the bodies of babies and children with blunted razor blades?
