If you were the President and had to fix the country, what would you do? I know what I would do:
1 - fire all the current ministers, deputy ministers, etc.
2 - scrap BEE, AA and all discriminatory and expensive laws. Make one law - employ the best man for the job, and allow NO discrimination on the basis of colour, religion, sex or sexual orientation.
3- appoint Trevor Manuel as the minister of finance, trade and industry. Privatise Eskom, SAA, Telkom and all other state indu...stries. Give Trevor the mandate - fix the economy. Do what you need to do.
4 - Appoint Johnathan Janssen as the minister of education. Tell him to fix our education. Ensure that EVERY child that has the potential gets an education for free. Even university/tech. No discrimination - everybody has an equal opportunity to a free education. Pay teachers more, but reduce holidays, and increase school hours. look at double shifts for school kids - morning shift and afternoon shift - same teachers, same school, double the kids....
5 - appoint Thuli Madonsela as the minister of police, justice and security. Tell her to root out corruption. give her powers to prosecute anybody. Get rid of corrupt cops, prosecuters, judges. Pay the cops more, incorporate the security companies in public policing, you can only be a security officer if you have a police clearance and have gone for 3 months training, but then you have powers of arrest.
This is my solution.
It may not be perfect, but it would be a hell of a lot better than the current shambles.
