Gulp!!! South Africa growth at 1,5 %

I am no economist , But having heard many of them speak makes me certain that my contribution is worth a shout..
SA's GDP has risen many a billion over the last years. Yet our economy has shrunk tremendously.
I am of the opinion that our extra rates and extra high electricity tariffs and sky high petrol prices have been the number 1 contributing factor to our yearly increasing GDP in SA.
The middle class has been so tightly squeezed in SA its not funny, Having a steak in Europe may be cheaper...
All our grocery stores pay E-Toll and have shoved that cost onto us straight away, even though they are permitted to spend billions advertising each day telling us how cheap they are...
Hearing about bricks being thrown onto moving cars and the frequent Mall robberies , High jacking and daily murders in SA are but all one thing we all must endure,
Then we have people in power that are unable to permit conditions in SA that favour growth. Why why why why ???
Why is Jacob  trying to unite our land with Africa?
Why does he not talk out against the daily murders and robberies ?
Why is he continually blaming apartheid and creating racial divides ? 
While petrol is at R 12 and cost of everything is sky high, where are we going to end up in a few more years ?
The last 8 years have been our least productive we have ever been.
Ballooned GDP must come from new business and from a growing work force, Not by doubling rates and electricity and food prices...
Come on Zuma ! You can change your course and help heal our land.
What are you planning on doing with all our university graduates ? When last years graduates are still unemployed ?
I dont care about Nkandla, Have it...
But please , change your tone...
Allow for growth in SA please. No true leader would have allowed miners to strike 5 full months , It is unheard of... It is sabotage..
As for pleading for a safer SA where brutality is at least spoken against ? It is a start ....
