‘Good morning ladies and gentlemen – or should I say good morning to the brave few who still have the backbone to think for themselves in a world drowning in a sea of mediocrity, corruption, and let’s be trustworthy, utter stupidity.
‘You see, I have a few things to say about our beloved South Africa, and if you’re simply offended, effectively that’s too dangerous.
‘You’ve had 30 years to cry about it whereas the nation burns.
‘Our South Africa is without doubt one of the wealthiest, most resource-rich nations on the earth.
‘We sit on gold, platinum and diamonds.
‘We ought to be the Switzerland of Africa and but, right here we’re, a bankrupt, crime-infested, socialist experiment gone horribly flawed.
‘Sound acquainted?
‘Well, it ought to, as a result of Argentina was in the identical boat, a as soon as nice financial system obliterated by authorities incompetence, rampant corruption and that impossible to resist siren track of socialism: Redistribute wealth, hand out freebies, punish the productive and have a good time the lazy.
‘And similar to Argentina, South Africa has spent a long time getting all of it flawed – three a long time primarily.
‘We’ve constructed nothing, mounted nothing and now the lights barely work.
‘And here’s the kicker, similar to Argentina’s new President Javier Milei identified to the world, we did this to ourselves.
‘Now in Argentina, Milei got here in a mere 12 months and a bit in the past and worn out the deficit.
‘Inflation is dropping, they’re clawing again their financial system from the abyss.
‘And here in South Africa? We’re nonetheless listening to Marxist relics in authorities who couldn’t run a spaza store, not to mention an financial system, not to mention a rustic.
‘We have the ANC, a bunch of corrupt, thieving, economy-destroying imbeciles whose only qualification is their ability to say ‘APARTHEID’ in each speech.
‘They’ve turned the nation right into a buffet of incompetence.
‘Load shedding, crime, unemployment: ‘Don’t fear!’
‘The ANC’s reply to every part is ‘more government’ and the worst half, they promote it to you beneath the nice and cozy, fuzzy, blanket of transformation, social justice and fairness.
‘Sound acquainted?
‘It’s the identical nonsense Milei ripped aside at Davos when he referred to as out the west’s obsession with wokeism.
‘The most cancers that destroyed Argentina and is consuming away on the west, is identical illness killing South Africa.
‘It’s referred to as woke socialism and it is available in many kinds.
‘Let’s simply run via a number of of them.
‘Radical feminism that tells women they’re perpetual victims whereas ignoring that almost all crime victims right here in South Africa are males.
‘Climate lunacy that forces us to take a seat at midnight whereas we export coal to China.
‘Diversity and inclusion insanity that replaces advantage with quotas as a result of God-forbid we rent competent folks to run Transnet our rail service.
‘And race-based policies that make doing business here impossible because we’re too busy ticking transformation packing containers as an alternative of constructing an financial system – and we’re massively overregulated.
‘Milei was proper when he referred to as out wokeism as a poison, a handy excuse to increase the ability of the state, regulate every part, kill productiveness and punish those that truly create jobs and wealth.
‘The west has constructed a bureaucratic monster to implement these ridiculous insurance policies.
‘And here in South Africa we didn’t even want an exterior drive to do that – we did it to ourselves!
‘Our ANC government’s total enterprise mannequin is incompetence, wrapped in victimhood, enforced by race baiting populists.
‘And Argentina just isn’t alone in watching mass immigration turn into an open wound.
‘Europe is being invaded by individuals who don’t have any intention of integrating.
‘And here in South Africa we don’t also have a border anymore.
‘Millions flood into our nation unchecked, overwhelming our hospitals, our colleges and our cities and as an alternative of implementing immigration legal guidelines, the federal government celebrates it.
‘Ubuntu they are saying. Pan-Africanism.
‘It’s not Ubuntu, it’s financial suicide and when South Africans, black, white, colored, Indian, totally different sizes and styles, dare to complain that their jobs are being taken, that crime is spiraling, that providers are collapsing beneath the burden, what does the ANC authorities say?
‘You’re xenophobic. Crime isn’t an issue in South Africa.
‘No crime is an industry. If you’re not being robbed, hijacked or murdered, are you even a South African?
‘And the police?
‘HA, what police?
‘Half of them are criminals, the other half – and I’m taking out the small minority doing a job – the opposite half are too busy taking bribes or sleeping of their automobiles.
‘And the ANC loves it as a result of it retains folks too scared, too determined and too depending on their pretend guarantees each election cycle.
‘And whereas criminals roam free, law-abiding enterprise homeowners making an attempt to guard themselves with firearms, are handled like the issue.
‘The ANC authorities would quite disarm residents than take care of the actual menace themselves.
‘While Argentina’s clawing its method out of the grave, Javier Milei has slashed authorities waste, embraced free markets and informed the socialists to shove it.
‘South Africa should do the same, but we won’t as a result of, right here’s the reality.
‘Our ANC government doesn’t need the nation to work.
‘If South Africa was functional, the ANC couldn’t steal anymore.
‘If Transnet was fixed, the ANC couldn’t award one other BEEE contract to their cousins shell firm.
‘If we had actual management the entire of the ANC could be in jail.
‘So let’s be trustworthy about our choices.
‘ONE: wait for the ANC to fix itself. I mean that’s hilarious.
‘TWO: Vote them out. It’s potential, but it surely may take one other 10 years and so they’ve rigged the system.
‘THREE: Leave the nation. Many folks I do know have, however only a few can afford to.
‘FOUR: Build a parallel financial system, non-public safety, non-public electrical energy, non-public schooling, as a result of the state has failed us and that is state proofing.
‘Or here’s a radical thought, what if we fought again?
‘What if we stopped apologising for demanding competence?
‘What if we rejected each single ounce of woke socialist corrupt nonsense spewed at us?
‘What if we embraced meritocracy capitalism and the uncooked unfiltered fact?
‘Milei informed the world to get up.
‘Will South Africa?
‘Probably not, because let’s face it, we’re the Titanic and the ANC is taking part in the violin whereas stealing from the lifeboats.
‘But to those of you still awake, still fighting, still refusing to go down with a ship, the battle isn’t over but.
‘And that my friends is the only reason I haven’t packed my baggage and left.
‘I’m staying right here to struggle for South Africa.
‘Long live freedom, long live capitalism and let’s struggle for a South Africa that really works.
‘So I’m not on social media. I’ve by no means been on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn a mere month or so in the past I opened an X account – respect to Elon Musk.
‘And I don’t submit very frequently on it, I submit hardly ever the interviews that I do, however I’ve determined I’m going to launch a YouTube channel and I’m going to submit feedback and I’d like a ‘thumbs up’ and ‘subscribe’.
‘It’s free simply give us a thumbs up and please subscribe and let’s get the numbers up as a result of I want to talk to the worldwide viewers and I want extra of you to face up and do the identical, let’s save South Africa.
