Africa is ill!

From controlling dictators to people attacking others while they are down. Africa is sick, and it seems to be getting worse. To some extent I'd like to blame globalisation and this notion of the individual. It's a simple concept for Europeans and the Americas because they founded the idea, they lived it long before Africans even thought of the self as more important than the individual.

Now it's backfiring, greed is taking over. Everybody wants to take care of their own interests and wants to grab as much as possible that is why it's a common trend for a young black South African who has just started working to buy a flashy car, it's a status symbol. That person would rather live on water in a flat sharing 2 rooms, with 5 other people whilst paying car bills for the next few years just so his peers can think he's got it all or is at least getting there.

Immigrants work for far less than the locals, and so let them work. I still don't understand the concept of I'd rather not work than work for R400 a month. If you have nothing, don't you try and get something? Besides somebody has to do the work and Thank you globalisation because the world is a global village now....we are one?

I wonder how African leaders were planning on working their "United States of Africa" idea, clearly we cannot get along. Clearly lots of South Africans who don't want to work for R400 a month won't be happy when the flood gates open.
