Comments on: Poll: Is South Africa’s State Mining Company the start of Nationalization? https://www.sa-austin.com/blog/2011/03/is-south-africas-state-mining-company-the-start-of-nationalization-235.html A Resource for South Africans living in Austin, Texas Thu, 20 Jul 2017 16:56:16 +0000 hourly 1 By: Evil Kaneval https://www.sa-austin.com/blog/2011/03/is-south-africas-state-mining-company-the-start-of-nationalization-235.html#comments/972 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 14:43:10 +0000 http://www.sa-austin.com/blog/?p=235#comment-972 Im doing a mid paper on SA nationalizing the mines, and from reading all these forums, the general direction that all comments and opinions lead to is that we are being run by a hypo-critic government that is running in the footsteps of the Nazi leader Hitler – in a absurd way –

However, could this move from our government be beneficial for international markets considering, more international investments puts us in a stronger position for allies, with war happening where the crude oil lies (strongest commodity) and we having a country rich in gold, do we not need to team up with a super power such as China to have some pull in the world economy?
As far fetched and confusing as that sounds our South African moral will force us to say we should keep it in our country and develop SA to increase ability to trade, but as politics will have its about covering their personal ends in a monetary form for "the future" and not really fighting for cause for the well being of the country and its people who are effected the most by it.

But most likely this is the first steps of Totalitarianism within our country – there's something about greed and power that can consume people to forget about their responsibilities.

He is also encouraging his supporters to have more babies because, as he puts it, more babies will strengthen the economic revolution. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/Politics/Malema…

The hated the white man for making them "slaves" but they aint seen nothing yet when the Chinese take over — they are an insidious nation and will treat the blacks with the same contempt as they do their own people. Enough said. America is going to go the same way if the Americans dont take their heads out of the sand…

With Nicky Oppenheimer retiring from De Beers, and the nationalizing of the mininnig industry is the beginning of the communist/socialist take over of industry.
State owned entities, ie.Utilities and Rail services and roads etc. are collapsing. No forward planning and lack of qualified free enterprise companies will turn this into a maelstrom like the rest of Africa.
The Chinese are watching events unfold and once the ANC find out, like all the other vested interests will sell it to the Chinese at basement bargin prices and they will become the new owners handing out jobs to the masses for a mere pittance making the nation slaves to their Chinese bosses.
