I am a Xhosa man some how i've never found this man offensive to anything i've heard him say. South Africa need us all to stand up and fight for what is good. I don't need handouts i am smart, i need a working South Africa with its people, those people are all skin colours in this country.
It is so refreshing to hear you say that. Be careful that other backs don't paint you with a "brainwashed" brush. Everyone that don't agree with the anc, zuma and malema get painted with that brush.
Be a major non-nato allie a country with liberal economic policies capitalist system and federalism with states 👍 (you can be a major non-nato allie but still do business with russia and china look at the gulf states in the middle east) 👍
Don't get me wrong, I'm not out to attack your stand point of "South Africa needs us all...", then how about first if all imprisson Julius Malema and the other hot shots of the EFF for Life and crush the organisation and do the same with Anyone involved with the boer morde (spelling?). I do know and understand that the Apparteid era was a shitty thing, I'm not advocating for it in Any way... but "The sins of the father" and all that. And Then hopefully South Africa can start healing and coming together properly. That's just My own take on it.
"It's much easier to hold people accountable if they are closer to the people they are governing." A great argument for decentralized government, and the main reason why we're not going to get it.
@@MmetxaRuth-sp7km Sounds about right yes. Russia is considered to be part of Europe. If you add the other chommie, China, you can say Rectumzania is governed from Eurasia.
When Thomas Jefferson said “The government closest to the people serves the people best”, he was referring to form-of-government closeness and not to ethnicity. However, it is of the very nature of life that, for the most part, people are closer to their own kin.
I read somewhere, that it was proposed during the independence discussions with the British after the second Boer war, but the British rejected it, and insisted we have a central government that governs all the land in a uniform way.
We have an overabundance of idiots in this country with a lot of anger and hatred. Even if individuals get voted for the priorities of the people are wrong.
Sounds like the genuinely good people are waking up to the fact that they don't have to swollow the evil being feed to them 🤷🏼♀️ About Bloody Time 🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼

"What happens after South Africa has fallen?" We must be ready when this happens otherwise we might suffer horrible consequences. The only people who will survive and be better off will be the Oranians.
South Africa will only fall because of the corrupt and inept central government. It can be saved by sweeping reforms that ensure free market economics as well as governing autonomy to cultural and linguistic ethnic groups.
@@humanbeing4841 "governing autonomy to cultural and linguistic ethnic groups" Here is the problem, the "central government" is not interested in it and is calling it apartheid. We MUST organize ourselves into self-sufficient communities where we provide services to our people so that we can become independent.
@@nedor64 The irony of calling such a structure "apartheid", is that apartheid is fundamentally an authoritarian ideology that requires a central government to be instituted. Under a federal model, no apartheid can exist because there is not monopoly of state control to enforce such an policy. Organizing into self-sufficient communities is merely de-jure federalism however I am arguing for a de-facto federalism.
@humanbeing4841 agree, a federal system should have been strived for from the beginning. The NP negotiators were out of their depth during Codesa. They basically told us what a good job they've done, then wiped the dirt of their hands and disappeared. Leaving us to live under a yoke of tyranny, corruption, incompetence and malicious governance.
As someone who was born post 1994, I believe SA should've always been a federation of provinces based primarily upon the historic ethnic and linguistic demarcations of the country's territory united around the idea of governing autonomy within those demarcations while maintaining union on a national level. A top-down centralized government has NEVER been a good thing for South Africa and has always resulted in greater nationalistic and racial tensions within the territory because of one tribe trying to impose itself on all the others. A federated model would ensure that no single ethnic group driven by an authoritarian ideology could ever dominate and oppress another ethnic group residing within the country ever again. We are one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse countries on the planet and yet for some nonsensical reason we are forced to be governed as a unitary state. Unitary states only make sense when the inhabitants have a common ethnic, cultural, liguistic and religious heritage. A highly centralized South African state will ALWAYS result in the country being governed by a corrupt, authoritarian, nepotist or racially bigoted oligarchy. The implementation of "Unity in Diversity" can only exist within the framework of a governing system that truly acknowledges such diversity and is willing to provide autonomy to those diverse communities within the country; only a federal model can ensure this framework.
I'm older than you, and so I could vote in the '94 elections. I remember serious discussions at the time around a having a decentralized federalist system copied directly from the successful Swiss system of cantons. Unfortunately the ANC was (and is still) married to the old Soviet model of highly centralized authority where all serious decisions are made at the national level. So the ANC negotiators torpedoed the federalist idea in the pre-election constitutional negotiations. We missed the one opportunity we had to write federalism into our constitution. If we had done that we wouldn't be having talk of Cape succession today.
Absolutely .. A dedicated group of far seeing people lobbied hard and long to the CODESA negotiating delegates, under the banner of Groundswell.. We came close to achieving a truly decentralised “bottom up” Swiss Canton Confederation model. But hidden agendas on both sides of the political and business elites proved more powerful than good sense.
💯 Agree. South Africa does need to be looked at from a unique perspective given the magnitude of our diversity. Our biggest issue is that our current leaders seem to want copy the frameworks of countries where almost everyone is the same ie. Brazil, Russia, India, China etc. We should be looking more to Western countries and mimic their successes and improve upon their failures.
@@BrinleyPavitt All those countries you mentioned are among the most diverse developing nations on the planet especially India. We are unique in that we are just as diverse if not more diverse than those countries but are governed as a unitary state. There is more cultural unity within the entire European continent than there is within SA.
I don't understand why the ANC can't be disbanded and prevented from being on the ballot papers by the IEC... Surely the damage they've done to our country is enough to ban them from politics..
Unfortunately disbanding the ANC would only give votes to the EFF. In my opinion, the National Assembly needs to vote on disbanding the EFF instead as they are too dangerous and will ensure that SA descends into a genocidal, Maoist totalitarian hellscape.
South Africa is a very vibrant society. The mere fact that we can produce very articulate and well constructed arguments like this is testimony to us being an active civil community who by and large, try our best to tell truth to power out of a deep place of care. I would argue that the most marginalised, the most poor, the most desperate, which is the majority of South Africa is left out of the framing of the problems and the solutions in the video. If we leave South Africa to create another Bantustan to govern their own communities then we will end up with more disenfranchised communities. Great article and may we have more of these intelligent debates.
Indeed, South Africa should have been disbanded either to the pre 1910 states or something similar reflecting the demographics. However, white folk didn't want to relinquish the financial hub of Johannesburg.
Very well said .. thank you. And there are a number of worthwhile alternatives already well thought out to choose from. I would maintain that a practical assessment of the Swiss model as proposed by Leon and Frances book “South Africa, the Solution” pre 1994 bears serious consideration and public discussion. Had we adopted it then our country might be an example to the world today.
Return to GOD! and have honest people serving the people! Remember we REAP what we sow which most can't or won't see and inherit the sins of our fathers!
2 Chronicles 7:14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Thank you, Sir, for another excellent clip. Dr.Leon Louwe and Francis Kendal published, in the late '80s an.excellent book entitled South Africa, the solution (hope I got the title right!) in which they reviewed the history of South Africa, the bad choices made and the legislation involved and offered a practical example of how the country could have been (and could still be) re-organised to the general benefit. If you can find a copy (leant mine out - to whom???) it is really worth the read. More thanks for your presence and clear thinking!
Exactly .. I recently re-read my copy. Frances’s other two books laid out in detail the nuts and bolts of how it could work. Time to bring them both out of retirement .. perhaps this would be be the true meaning of a 🌈nation.
Imagine if the president were as intelligent, rational, and articulate as Ernst Roets. Unfortunately, the unsophisticated, gullible, subliterate majority would not vote for such a person.
Our president is actually quite intelligent. What he lacks is balls. He's standing by and watching the country burn around him. You almost see a tear in his eye when makes his speeches because he knows what he's saying is bs. Like when someone knocks their shin and pretends they're not in pain.
OHM is talking a complete revamp of politics in SA....making it for the people with the people....minus political parties that prone to corruption and no one held accountable.
I like your innovative thinking, thank you. I reckon that some of your views is likely to achieve real ownership from us as South Africans. Everything starts with a dream. We all need to contribute more for South Africa to reach its full potential. We need leaders that can lead us towards a vision of prosperity for all.
@@HeinRichKocHPretoria Mandela was instrumental to a peaceful transition and the avoidance of a civil war. During the Mbeki years there was still economic growth.
There is something to replace the ANC with..... The DA governs, it governs well, where it has a majority. It's manifesto is sound.... It has stood up the unions and where it governs, over time replaced ANC cadres with professional civil servants.
@@0761SibanThe DA can only do as much as the ANC allows them! Just remember that the ANC refuses to let the DA take control of the police in their metros hence the crime in DA run metros! You can't blame the DA for what the ANC forces on them!
Great analysis Mr Roets. I think Mandela's model of a central unitary state cannot work in South Africa, it is easy to capture a central government with very dire consequences for every citizen, than to capture a federal state that is close to the people.
Devolving power, authority and design to first, local, and then provincial regional development would be a better system, with a centralized overseeing body that can fulfill the roles that local and regional bodies cannot deliver, like foreign affairs and treasury.
I am a Christian, and I love South Africa. It is a beautiful country with so much diversity that the world has failed to comprehend, and I am proud of that. Unfortunately, we are being led by people who are corrupt and only care about their pockets instead of the quality of life for its citizens. We truly need to pray for South Africa for its prosperity. We need God's blessings through Christ Jesus. I pray that South Africa falls into the right government that will lead to everyone's success and prosperity. God does not know race, and does not care about race, for We are all one in Christ Jesus, Amen!
Where and on which platform do we open the conversation surrounding the need to design a better system to take our political dispensation forward? Afriforum and others need to recognize that some of the sharpest minds are among those either previously or more lately impoverished / disadvantaged, if you will. We cannot pay to speak OUR MINDS.
It hurts me to break up South Africa, but The Cape Party - Independence for The Cape, separation of the Western Cape combined with the Northern Cape from the rest of South Africa is really the only option for that region.
Agree, thanks Ernst. SA direly needs a proper government and governing structure / system, but this time it should work for the benefit of SA and All SAens. Not an easy feat indeed. Step 1 is to Educate the voter masses, just to rid SA of the current looters .......... Not easy either.......... You need to 1st stop the bleeding before any treatment is possible.
Ngl, I was initially hesitant to watch this video because most of the videos that talk about the fall of the ANC and government were so biased. But now, having listened to your analysis, I'm impressed and grateful to have come across your video. You gave a holistic view of the real problem we have.
from the position of the leader in Africa to the fall to the third world level in only 30 years, the worst thing is to disagree, the whites built a strong country and after the blacks took over power, everything fell at lightning speed, it's a tragedy and very sad, everywhere there is neglect, people steal tracks and cables and the police do nothing there, schools, army, power plants, railways everything is in a state of decay, how it can be , ruin something that was good so quickly, it's unimaginable
Every employment contract with Government must come up with a warning that if that person do corruption,automatic prison sentence. They should be warned from the beginning. Every bank acc must be checked , so in future if leave Job ,recheck bank acc to make sure that money match salary. If there is so much money more than expected, investigate
About 5 years ago while I was praying for the SA government and asking for the Lord's help, He showed me a vision. I was looking down onto a field. There was a big circular trail in the field and a small dot of open area in the middle of the circle. From the dot there were 12 paths to the outer circle and all the Lord said to me was: "Like an orange." I immediately looked up what orange means spiritually, it means: An orange has 12 sections, which point to permanency, unity and completeness. Perfect government, a nation. (12 tribes, 12 apostles). I knew this is what the Lord has in stall for the SA government. A Godly structure with 12 Godly representatives for each tribe in SA.
South Africa and Haiti both need a benevolent dictator ..... like Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew. As South Africa and Haiti, and add Venezuela and Cuba, .... have proven inept at self-governance.
South Africa was a thriving country and very wealthy until the ANC took the reins. Corruption is rampant and as long as you have incompetent leadership it will continue. Too many tribal leaders that think they are better. Need to get rid of the inbuilt tribal structures otherwise it will continue to fail. To fix this beautiful country it needs a coalition of the best black and white leaders.
@@Expose_bankers_and_auctioneers Yup remember they had their own areas also. As afar as the Indians there it was mainly their choice to be and work there and could leave if they felt they wanted to. Are they better off today under the ANC that’s questionable.
...S.Africa is heading for decimation The issue is, who will rebuild it from total ruins New infrastructure, new institutions, housing, honest govt etc That calls for skills, which these noisy quasi leaders lack.
I have been in africa all my 62 yrs. From Rhodesia to South Africa. we can talk about the of morality of the previous sa government or the further imorality of the present anc led dispensation I believe in africa it has everything to do with Race. The majority of blacks in this part of Africa do not want whites here at all but they are stuck with us. Keep pushing Ernst, maybe you will penetrate the resistant mindset.
This country must split into the different tribes, each governing themselves as God had split the peoples at Babel. There must also be a split between the Boere and the Afrikaners, as we definitely do not have the same values and longing for freedom. Borders will bring piece. I think this will be the eventual outcome, no matter how you try to keep us together, this is how the world works.
You just want to see division in Africa...how many European countries are split by tribes??...talking about afrikaaners and boers all these never showed compassion over in the injustice they were doing here and these were all so called Christians
You are correct that South Africa cannot be held together because this is how the world works. The people living in South Africa do not constitute a single nation and have different cultures and identities. Identity, as the great English Parliamentarian, Enoch Powell, once said is the ultimate stuff of politics since it poses the most fundamental question of all "Who do you think you are"? The Jewish people have clung to their identity for over 2,000 years and after centuries of persecution and hardship have now returned to their ancient homeland of Israel. And as Aristotle pointed out no State can survive without "philia" the sense of fellow citizenship that binds a society together in a common bond of identity and patriotism. It is as clear as day that South Africa, as a whole, lacks the quality of philia found in abundance in Orania where everyone strives for the common good and violent crime and corruption is more or less non-existent. A crucial issue to consider is that as nothing has been resolved in South Africa in the past 30 years why does anyone think that anything will be resolved in the next 30 years under the current dispensation? One ironic feature of the map showing the various European countries superimposed on the land mass of South Africa is that each of them represents individual nation states with their distinct culture and identity. In other words, "apartheid", the natural order of things that will increasingly assert itself as the 20th century progresses and so called multiculturalism collapses due to its inherent contradictions.
Even if we vote the ANC out there will be a long and painful process to reverse the damage that has been done and I don't think most people are prepared for that. My other concern is that I don't believe there is 1 specific party that would be able fix all of our woes. There are many different people in South Africa and we expect and want different things from government. Somewhere someone will always be upset. I'm also not sure about a coalition government because we can't agree on anything. PS: I wrote this before watching the whole video.
Perhaps because it suits the narrative of blaming the wicked British & Dutch for the ills of the past? Until todays SA can get past imperialism, it will never move forward.
The issue with South Africa is that since 1994 we all became complacent in a country that we thought was going to become all inclusive when if we as citizens were realistic from day one we would have known that this was not going to be the case. Behind the scenes those in the corridors of political power who were networking prior to the election were simply setting themselves up for a huge payday and we see that now in the case that there are a number of ultra wealthy SA who simply played the game. Getting rich through legitimate ways is admirable, however the roles have simply been switched. South Africans should educate themselves more with regards the political scene in SA and get more involved then perhaps they would vote with their conscience and not their emotions. Citizens should not sit on the sidelines and complain about what the government is not doing if they not willing to hold their council men and local politicians accountable. The country is failing due to LACK of ACCOUNTABILITY which in turn breeds CORRUPTION. You can have the best politicians with the best intentions but if there is no ACCOUNTABILITY and TRANSPARENCY then it is all futile. No current political party in SA can play the race card anymore and when voters go to the ballot boxes these are the parties to avoid because if they continue voting wiith their emotions the next 30 years will simply be a repeat of the passed 30 years with added compund interest which will ultimately lead to SA imploding. SA needs a coalition of parties to form a government whereby they can monitor each other and hold each other accountable for a better SA. South africans need to clean house and become proud South Africans again. If South Africans were as passionate about their politics as they are about there sports teams we would be a strong nation again. VOTE IN 2024 WITH YOUR CONSCIENCE AND NOT YOUR EMOTIONS.
I see South Africa today, as a modern day Tower of Babel.... hence the reason why I sympathize with all of it's people of different backgrounds, races, belief systems etc etc. The only solution as I see it is a " Revolution " not led by man, but rather by a mighty move of God by the power of the Holy Spirit. There is only one way that we as human beings can truly be united as one family and that is in non other than our Lord Jesus Christ. And the bible becomes our " manual of daily living " as we use this amazing and powerful WORD of GOD to instruct us as to how we are to live with one another, and treat and honor one another. There is no other way - but God's way, and yes as Jesus said it is a " hard and narrow way ", but it is the only way that leads to the life that only God, through Jesus Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit desires to give to us. My God Bless South Africa. Tas Collier, New Zealand
A few major things need to happen : (a) Populism needs to be replaced with quality (b) Parliamentary representation should be geographic ( c ) Political party system scrapped ( d ) Governmental powers, functions, competencies, responsibilities and structures rationalized and (e) governmental and electoral systems overhauled.
Have you heard of David Friedman’s idea of an anarcho-capitalist land where people have self governance by way of free association and purchasing services from private firms?
You are so right about trying to do my own taxes- am so happy that I have a lovely tax specialist,who is prepared to organise this. Probably doesn’t take him that long, but my goodness- that terminology and the percentages floor me…
Isn't South Africa's motto _"Unity in Diversity"_ ? South Africa recognises there are different languages, that's why we made each one for them official instead of just declaring English to be the only language to be spoken. The point then is to unite as different people under one common goal, one common struggle, that's what a nation is. Your issue is that you have an Apartheid style of mindset. One where if you're separate you're separate and there's no way you could have anything in common with anyone else.
Thank you. I happen to believe that God is still in control we need to pray for a righteous govt, for a govt putting God first. We left Him out of our land too long. Yes there are structural problems but they can be fixed. We need to pray and vote wisely.
The anc has stripped us all from ouer rights and the criminals has more rights then the taxpayers take it like this the drug dealers have more rights then us that has been born in this country and the police protect the drug dealers time to vote the anc oud and but the power back to the people the anc has forgotten the taxpayers is the bosses of the anc not the atherway around
I agree completely with decentralization. Governments all over the world are corrupt and their power should be taken away. I would go further and say municipalities can do what needs to be done for better living standards - and do it much better.
Dankie Ernst .. is daar enige insig en erkenning deur die Swart en Engelse gemeenskappe oor die positiewe rol vd Afrikanervolk in die geskiedenis van ons land ? Of klou hulle nog aan hul eie ideologiese haatspraak teen ons vas as die enigste waarheid vd verlede ?
Hi Salome. I am an English speaking citizen and hails from the Eastern Cape. Most of the Voortrekkers came from the Eastern Cape and quite few of the English from the Eastern Cape have the same mindset as the Voortrekkers. Thus we understand and appreciate the role and contribution of the Afrikaners and what they made of this country. However, there is one thing I do not understand about the Afrikaners now is how they have allowed other people to put a guilt trip on them. There is no reason why Afrikaners cannot hold their heads high and take up their rightful place in this country. Kindest regards. Nigel
@@nigelnaylor2556Agree. It's this whole GUILT TRIP thing that has had undue focus and played straight into the hands of the ANC which was nothing more than a communist/terrorist grouping completely unable/unwilling to actually GOVERN. They've been running SA in true Mafia style from the get-go.
@nigelnaylor2556 Helo Nigel. Dankie vir jou woorde. However ... wat my verstom is die Engelse gemeenskap se blinde weiering om Pa te staan vir julle rol in die skokkende gebeure van ons land die afgelope 200 jaar !! meer spesifiek is die local Engelse se meedoënlose Haatspraak teen ons vanaf 1820 -1920 - 2020 Boerbasing en Black Sash ken jy dit ?

You're completely correct about decentralization, but when the Western Cape leaves the rest of the country behind, you're going to see tons of movement there and the same problems that plague the country at large will soon follow. Secession is the only way forward for the Western and Northern Capes.
Thank you for your video. Much food for thought. I think that PM Malan had much the same idea, perhaps not as well thought out. Birds of a feather flock together. Perhaps federalism allows for like minded folks to gather together whilst still having a common goal. It worked for the US, but lets not fall into the same trap of becoming so individualised that we lose sight of the common good. I'm looking forward to a practicable and amicable solution. Lets have a South Africa advance meeting and not a the customary South Africa retreat indaba
Hi Ernst. Perhaps a minimum of a Confederation and Direct Democracy would be a good place to start? And let us bury the past. I heard this prayer: "If I or my ancestors have offended you or your ancestors, please forgive us." Let us now move on and build the best future that we deserve. Kindest regards. Nigel
It is the plan and hope for some people that South Africa should fail but i hope it doesnt. We need to protect the country. No one badmouth their country.
What happens after the ANC loses power is dependent on a few things. The most important one being whether the ANC accept their loss in a free election. If they do, and a peaceful transition of power occurs, then there is hope for the future. The other most important factor will be who wins that election and what their policies are.
1:58 You are so right about the "American Revolution". It really wasn't a revolution, but as you say, a secession. All the colonial / state legislative bodies, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, and so on, were in place and continued to administer order. No doubt there were challenges in forging a federal republic, but the "War for Independence" bore little resemblance to the French Revolution, for example. So, this American thanks you for getting it more accurate than most!
As an American, the War for Independence was most certainly a revolution. Most Americans at the start of the war thought of themselves as British subjects at least until the actual Declaration of Independence. The new American states forged an entirely new system based upon individual liberty and the strictest limits on government we’ve ever seen. A simple secession is much more akin to Canada or Australia leaving the British Empire, where they carried over most political systems.
I do not understand how we South Africans could let the ANC do what they did to our country where was the other political parties did they not have the power to interfere in all that was happening
In 1994 we were sold a dream. In 2024 we want a refund.

A highly centralized South African state will ALWAYS result in the country being governed by a corrupt, authoritarian, nepotist or racially bigoted oligarchy.
The implementation of "Unity in Diversity" can only exist within the framework of a governing system that truly acknowledges such diversity and is willing to provide autonomy to those diverse communities within the country; only a federal model can ensure this framework.
I'm older than you, and so I could vote in the '94 elections. I remember serious discussions at the time around a having a decentralized federalist system copied directly from the successful Swiss system of cantons.
Unfortunately the ANC was (and is still) married to the old Soviet model of highly centralized authority where all serious decisions are made at the national level. So the ANC negotiators torpedoed the federalist idea in the pre-election constitutional negotiations.
We missed the one opportunity we had to write federalism into our constitution. If we had done that we wouldn't be having talk of Cape succession today.
Absolutely .. A dedicated group of far seeing people lobbied hard and long to the CODESA negotiating delegates, under the banner of Groundswell.. We came close to achieving a truly decentralised “bottom up” Swiss Canton Confederation model. But hidden agendas on both sides of the political and business elites proved more powerful than good sense.
💯 Agree. South Africa does need to be looked at from a unique perspective given the magnitude of our diversity. Our biggest issue is that our current leaders seem to want copy the frameworks of countries where almost everyone is the same ie. Brazil, Russia, India, China etc. We should be looking more to Western countries and mimic their successes and improve upon their failures.
@@BrinleyPavitt All those countries you mentioned are among the most diverse developing nations on the planet especially India. We are unique in that we are just as diverse if not more diverse than those countries but are governed as a unitary state. There is more cultural unity within the entire European continent than there is within SA.
Thank you.
Listening in from Ireland..absolutely brilliant..thank you Sir
BRAVO, at last this makes sense. A solution and not doom and gloom.
Community based government is the best way forward for our country.
I don't understand why the ANC can't be disbanded and prevented from being on the ballot papers by the IEC... Surely the damage they've done to our country is enough to ban them from politics..
Unfortunately disbanding the ANC would only give votes to the EFF. In my opinion, the National Assembly needs to vote on disbanding the EFF instead as they are too dangerous and will ensure that SA descends into a genocidal, Maoist totalitarian hellscape.
No. If they ban the ANC they can ban anyone else. That's not worth the risk.

South Africa is a very vibrant society. The mere fact that we can produce very articulate and well constructed arguments like this is testimony to us being an active civil community who by and large, try our best to tell truth to power out of a deep place of care. I would argue that the most marginalised, the most poor, the most desperate, which is the majority of South Africa is left out of the framing of the problems and the solutions in the video. If we leave South Africa to create another Bantustan to govern their own communities then we will end up with more disenfranchised communities. Great article and may we have more of these intelligent debates.
Excellent commentary and thought provoking. These are, indeed, the conversations we ought to be having, really. Thanks for sharing.

The answer is in the question. South Africa fell in 1994. We have been living the answer for 30 years.

Thank you, Sir, for another excellent clip. Dr.Leon Louwe and Francis Kendal published, in the late '80s an.excellent book entitled South Africa, the solution (hope I got the title right!) in which they reviewed the history of South Africa, the bad choices made and the legislation involved and offered a practical example of how the country could have been (and could still be) re-organised to the general benefit. If you can find a copy (leant mine out - to whom???) it is really worth the read. More thanks for your presence and clear thinking!
Exactly .. I recently re-read my copy. Frances’s other two books laid out in detail the nuts and bolts of how it could work. Time to bring them both out of retirement .. perhaps this would be be the true meaning of a 🌈nation.
Imagine if the president were as intelligent, rational, and articulate as Ernst Roets. Unfortunately, the unsophisticated, gullible, subliterate majority would not vote for such a person.
Our president is actually quite intelligent. What he lacks is balls. He's standing by and watching the country burn around him. You almost see a tear in his eye when makes his speeches because he knows what he's saying is bs. Like when someone knocks their shin and pretends they're not in pain.
Oh the president if very intelligent but sly. On the other hand, he lacks wisdom and morals.

Great analysis Mr Roets. I think Mandela's model of a central unitary state cannot work in South Africa, it is easy to capture a central government with very dire consequences for every citizen, than to capture a federal state that is close to the people.
I'm watching the stand off between the federal government and the states.People to live one state for another when things breaking point.
Centralization is 1 of communism's tools.
Devolving power, authority and design to first, local, and then provincial regional development would be a better system, with a centralized overseeing body that can fulfill the roles that local and regional bodies cannot deliver, like foreign affairs and treasury.
Brilliant - Levelheaded, non-victimised and non-blaming - solution and future-orientated. 10/10 or 100%
I am a Christian, and I love South Africa. It is a beautiful country with so much diversity that the world has failed to comprehend, and I am proud of that. Unfortunately, we are being led by people who are corrupt and only care about their pockets instead of the quality of life for its citizens.

It hurts me to break up South Africa, but The Cape Party - Independence for The Cape, separation of the Western Cape combined with the Northern Cape from the rest of South Africa is really the only option for that region.

Great presentation and much needed.
from the position of the leader in Africa to the fall to the third world level in only 30 years, the worst thing is to disagree, the whites built a strong country and after the blacks took over power, everything fell at lightning speed, it's a tragedy and very sad, everywhere there is neglect, people steal tracks and cables and the police do nothing there, schools, army, power plants, railways everything is in a state of decay, how it can be , ruin something that was good so quickly, it's unimaginable
Every employment contract with Government must come up with a warning that if that person do corruption,automatic prison sentence. They should be warned from the beginning. Every bank acc must be checked , so in future if leave Job ,recheck bank acc to make sure that money match salary. If there is so much money more than expected, investigate
its actually simple but why do they care if they dont face any consequences
About 5 years ago while I was praying for the SA government and asking for the Lord's help, He showed me a vision. I was looking down onto a field. There was a big circular trail in the field and a small dot of open area in the middle of the circle. From the dot there were 12 paths to the outer circle and all the Lord said to me was: "Like an orange."
I immediately looked up what orange means spiritually, it means: An orange has 12 sections, which point to permanency, unity and completeness. Perfect government, a nation. (12 tribes, 12 apostles).
I knew this is what the Lord has in stall for the SA government. A Godly structure with 12 Godly representatives for each tribe in SA.
South Africa and Haiti both need a benevolent dictator

This country must split into the different tribes, each governing themselves as God had split the peoples at Babel. There must also be a split between the Boere and the Afrikaners, as we definitely do not have the same values and longing for freedom. Borders will bring piece.

You just want to see division in Africa...how many European countries are split by tribes??...talking about afrikaaners and boers all these never showed compassion over in the injustice they were doing here and these were all so called Christians
You are correct that South Africa cannot be held together because this is how the world works. The people living in South Africa do not constitute a single nation and have different cultures and identities. Identity, as the great English Parliamentarian, Enoch Powell, once said is the ultimate stuff of politics since it poses the most fundamental question of all "Who do you think you are"? The Jewish people have clung to their identity for over 2,000 years and after centuries of persecution and hardship have now returned to their ancient homeland of Israel. And as Aristotle pointed out no State can survive without "philia" the sense of fellow citizenship that binds a society together in a common bond of identity and patriotism. It is as clear as day that South Africa, as a whole, lacks the quality of philia found in abundance in Orania where everyone strives for the common good and violent crime and corruption is more or less non-existent. A crucial issue to consider is that as nothing has been resolved in South Africa in the past 30 years why does anyone think that anything will be resolved in the next 30 years under the current dispensation? One ironic feature of the map showing the various European countries superimposed on the land mass of South Africa is that each of them represents individual nation states with their distinct culture and identity. In other words, "apartheid", the natural order of things that will increasingly assert itself as the 20th century progresses and so called multiculturalism collapses due to its inherent contradictions.
Makes perfect sense. Ethiopia has formed a perfect example of how federalism actually does work.
Even if we vote the ANC out there will be a long and painful process to reverse the damage that has been done and I don't think most people are prepared for that. My other concern is that I don't believe there is 1 specific party that would be able fix all of our woes. There are many different people in South Africa and we expect and want different things from government. Somewhere someone will always be upset. I'm also not sure about a coalition government because we can't agree on anything.
PS: I wrote this before watching the whole video.
The ANC hasnt fixed apartheid mess. ANC leaves apartheid legacy remains.
Perhaps because it suits the narrative of blaming the wicked British & Dutch for the ills of the past? Until todays SA can get past imperialism, it will never move forward.
The issue with South Africa is that since 1994 we all became complacent in a country that we thought was going to become all inclusive when if we as citizens were realistic from day one we would have known that this was not going to be the case. Behind the scenes those in the corridors of political power who were networking prior to the election were simply setting themselves up for a huge payday and we see that now in the case that there are a number of ultra wealthy SA who simply played the game. Getting rich through legitimate ways is admirable, however the roles have simply been switched. South Africans should educate themselves more with regards the political scene in SA and get more involved then perhaps they would vote with their conscience and not their emotions. Citizens should not sit on the sidelines and complain about what the government is not doing if they not willing to hold their council men and local politicians accountable. The country is failing due to LACK of ACCOUNTABILITY which in turn breeds CORRUPTION. You can have the best politicians with the best intentions but if there is no ACCOUNTABILITY and TRANSPARENCY then it is all futile. No current political party in SA can play the race card anymore and when voters go to the ballot boxes these are the parties to avoid because if they continue voting wiith their emotions the next 30 years will simply be a repeat of the passed 30 years with added compund interest which will ultimately lead to SA imploding. SA needs a coalition of parties to form a government whereby they can monitor each other and hold each other accountable for a better SA. South africans need to clean house and become proud South Africans again. If South Africans were as passionate about their politics as they are about there sports teams we would be a strong nation again. VOTE IN 2024 WITH YOUR CONSCIENCE AND NOT YOUR EMOTIONS.
Very well said I couldn't put it better myself somebody who at least understands the Politics and History of South Africa
When South Africa Fails, it will return to the Tribal system , full of Gangs and Detritus, much like most recently the path Haiti has taken
I see South Africa today, as a modern day Tower of Babel.... hence the reason why I sympathize with all of it's people of different backgrounds, races, belief systems etc etc. The only solution as I see it is a " Revolution " not led by man, but rather by a mighty move of God by the power of the Holy Spirit. There is only one way that we as human beings can truly be united as one family and that is in non other than our Lord Jesus Christ. And the bible becomes our " manual of daily living " as we use this amazing and powerful WORD of GOD to instruct us as to how we are to live with one another, and treat and honor one another. There is no other way - but God's way, and yes as Jesus said it is a " hard and narrow way ", but it is the only way that leads to the life that only God, through Jesus Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit desires to give to us.
My God Bless South Africa.

So diversity is not working in a diverse country? Who could have thought?
Isn't South Africa's motto _"Unity in Diversity"_ ? South Africa recognises there are different languages, that's why we made each one for them official instead of just declaring English to be the only language to be spoken.
The point then is to unite as different people under one common goal, one common struggle, that's what a nation is.
Your issue is that you have an Apartheid style of mindset.
One where if you're separate you're separate and there's no way you could have anything in common with anyone else.

The "big country" and diversity shows clearly what the solution should be. Get rid of or reduce these two factors and you will have a better system.
Yeah, there is a better system: anything but the one they've got.
You're completely correct about decentralization, but when the Western Cape leaves the rest of the country behind, you're going to see tons of movement there and the same problems that plague the country at large will soon follow. Secession is the only way forward for the Western and Northern Capes.
Thank you for your video. Much food for thought. I think that PM Malan had much the same idea, perhaps not as well thought out. Birds of a feather flock together. Perhaps federalism allows for like minded folks to gather together whilst still having a common goal. It worked for the US, but lets not fall into the same trap of becoming so individualised that we lose sight of the common good.
I'm looking forward to a practicable and amicable solution. Lets have a South Africa advance meeting and not a the customary South Africa retreat indaba

It is the plan and hope for some people that South Africa should fail but i hope it doesnt. We need to protect the country. No one badmouth their country.
What happens after the ANC loses power is dependent on a few things. The most important one being whether the ANC accept their loss in a free election. If they do, and a peaceful transition of power occurs, then there is hope for the future. The other most important factor will be who wins that election and what their policies are.
1:58 You are so right about the "American Revolution". It really wasn't a revolution, but as you say, a secession. All the colonial / state legislative bodies, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, and so on, were in place and continued to administer order. No doubt there were challenges in forging a federal republic, but the "War for Independence" bore little resemblance to the French Revolution, for example.
So, this American thanks you for getting it more accurate than most!
As an American, the War for Independence was most certainly a revolution. Most Americans at the start of the war thought of themselves as British subjects at least until the actual Declaration of Independence. The new American states forged an entirely new system based upon individual liberty and the strictest limits on government we’ve ever seen. A simple secession is much more akin to Canada or Australia leaving the British Empire, where they carried over most political systems.
I do not understand how we South Africans could let the ANC do what they did to our country where was the other political parties did they not have the power to interfere in all that was happening
