Quote one instance wherein EroZA is talking about SA development,am not a fool....indeed healthy competition is good but believe you me my country sees other African countries as partners not competitors that's why our companies are all over the continent...apparently this thing of playing the giant on other people is a norm in your country ,we don't do it here that's why those who try to do it when they come here,they get some panelbeatings...remember I was only responding to your rubbish where you said your mighty military should invade SA...if you are indeed the giant,why can't you lead by example and stop crying foul about SA..

What is wrong in being young in mind though? I am almost twice as old as the number in your post and it doesn't mean I am reasoning like a child. I don't know what you are talking about when you brag about your development and expected to be worshiped.

Oh, please. Whenever you find the area South Africa is losing to Nigeria you will quickly take a defensive position yet emotional one. There is nothing wrong in competition just that most of ignorant South African blacks don't know the importance.

Go Nigeria, the true GIANT of Africa.

Do you understand that sentence or you just want to buy recognition?am saying south Africans don't see other Africans as competitors but see them as partners,if you are failing to understand that ,keep quiet...black and white SAns have been calling each other names since day one,we are used to that..just like the igbos and Yorubas in your country,black on black hatred.

You're still not making any sense.

South Africans are barely Africans, moreover an average South African sees "other" Africans as destitutes with no hope.

How can you compare the rift between the Igbos and Yorubas with the blek and white case(s) in south Africa... Illuminate more on that please.

You are very stupidd, you are just an angry young man who sees no future in his own country and tries to point the negatives innother country to feel much better. Are you happy now

Why are you pissed?

You're getting yourself worked up because you know I said the truth. South Africa and Usa are two different Nations.

There's a south Africa for the whites and a south Africa for the bleks.

I see you're indirectly trying to reduce the tension in south Africa just to calling names.

Like I said earlier, a typical blek south African sees "other" Africans as destitutes with no hope.

But when they're proved wrong in that "context", xenophobia comes in.

Are you in denial that there are no tensions between the whites and bleks in south Africa?

In as much as every blek south African is not xenophobic, I believe Y'all have an atom of xenophobia.

I've talked with many truthful blek south Africans, and they agreed with me that "disappointment" is also one of the many causes of xenophobia among blek south Africans.

Do you understand what I mean by "disappointment"?

What the hell are you on about undecided have you ever seen me talk about whites?

And what's the correlation between people (your fellows) who stink, even though they enjoy the best of what SA has to offer (clean water, electricity, proper sanitation) with a smelly environment? Huh, slum-boy?

[/s]


You're even dumber than I thought.

What proper sanitation are you talking about? Bucket toilet sanitation? You're making it look as if south Africa is heaven.

Toilet sanitation in south Africa

According to the World Health Organisation, a child under the age of five dies every 15 seconds due to diseases as a result of poor or no sanitation. It is estimated that nearly 1.5 million Children die every year of diarrhea (more) Approximately 133 million children under the age of five will die before the end of 2030. In 2007 the child mortality rate in South Africa accounted for more than 40 000 children or one child every 15 minutes.”

TODAY`S MARKET FOR SANITATION IS DYSFUNCTIONAL, MAINLY DUE TO MUTED DEMAND AND LOW PRIORITY AMONG INDIVIDUALS. MARKET BASED APPROACH IS REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AT GRASS ROOT LEVEL AND AT A LARGE SCALE… JACK SIM FOUNDER OF THE WORLD TOILET ORGANISATION

SATO is a non-profit organization committed to improving toilet and sanitation conditions on the African Continent. SATO is also one of the few organizations to focus on toilets instead of water, which receives more attention and resources under the common subject of sanitation. SATO was founded to work towards eliminating the toilet taboo and delivering sustainable sanitation to Africans.

Important Facts: The world is still on track for reaching the MDG drinking water target, but the trend appears to be deteriorating. On current trends, the world will miss the sanitation target by more than half a billion people.
Every year, unsafe water, coupled with a lack of basic sanitation, kills at least 1.6 million children under the age of five years more than eight times the number of people who died in the Asian tsunami of 2004.
At the beginning of the Water for Life decade, 1.1 billion people did not have access to an improved source of drinking water.
84% of the population without access to an improved source of drinking water live in rural areas.


water in crisis- south Africa


South Africa is a country located at the Southern Tip of Africa. About twice the size of Texas it is home to 49 million people. This country has been stricken by affects from the long standing apartheid to the devastation that diseases such as HIV/AIDS and TB have caused. Now another crisis looms in the distance: Water. As more and more people migrate into cities from rural villages the pressure for the city to meet the water demands is ever increasing.
There are many reasons that attribute to this growing water crisis in South Africa. Climate change has affected water supplies within the region. Rains that usually come and supply the country's water has come infrequently. For example in Durban the Dams are 20 percent lower than at the start of 2010. Due to this fact cities are looking to impose water restrictions on communities.
Another problem that Durban in particular faces is stolen water. According to one report 35 percent of the cities water is stolen or given out through illegal connections.
Also, preventative measures that were put in place such as the construction of dams in the area have not even started or are still in the process of being built and those structures that are in place now are slowly collapsing. Those in rural areas still lack access to water. One report stated that in 2008 about 5 million people lack access to water and 15 million lack access to basic sanitation. This number has improved greatly since the end of apartheid in 1994, however these numbers are still too high and not one person should ever lack access to the most basic necessity of life, which is water.
Interestingly enough South Africa boast one of the most clean water systems in the world, however due to the lack of sanitation and access in the country's rural communities the threat of water borne disease is steadily increasing. The Vaal River, the largest river in South Africa and popular tourist destination is becoming increasingly contaminated with fecal material due to the lack of sanitation supplies. It is so bad that the local water agency Rand Water issued a statement that contact with the river may lead to serious infection. Wildlife is also being affected from the raw sewage run off. A court-ordered mandate was issued to remove 20 tons of dead fish from the river after a local NGO SAVE (Save the Vaal River Environment) took the Emfuelni munincipilty to court for leaking raw sewage into the river. They blamed the reason for dumping sewage in the river on old pipes.
Overall, infrastructure is lacking, whether or not it is old pipes or ignorance the South Africa water crisis is here and affecting millions. There has been a backlog in services since the end of apartheid and that needs to change. The national and local governments of South Africa need to do a better job of offering services to their people. Supplies need to be given to those most in need. By taking care of the rural population the government will be helping the cities, because it is these rural communities where the damage to the water supply is beginning due to lack of access to sanitation supplies and clean water education.

As of last year, 30% of south Africans were still living without electricity.
