We in South Africa have many problems,especially of a racial nature,waiting to boil over. Only by extremely good sense do we prevent this happening from every group,not only on a colour basis as we have nine different indigenous basic African tribes that not always on good terms with each other!
Therefore we should not take sides in the conflict of other nations declaring our support for one of the protagonists! This is what we have done when the ANC which is the main majority party in our government by fully supporting the structure of Gaza with the terrorist organisation Hamas ruling that territory.
We are a small nation which to take note of the saying "Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread !" At the moment we are on a knife edge what with major war looming ,which might break out at any moment.
The major position taken by our government is one of neutrality which is in dangerof breaking down,what with obvious support for Russia,China,Iran and other rogue states. At the same time we wish the capitalist world to invest in our economy,which they are now beginning to withdraw from!
Do remember that about eighty percent of our trade is with Western Democratic nations . If our rulers hold other veiws they should keep it to themselves as their first priority is to find work and a reasonable standard of living for all the peoples of South Africa. Viva!
