   By firstly wasting time surveying this “fact” and secondly publishing it, you are merely entrenching racial polarisation!

   Why and to what end?

   PS Survey the Khoisan and get some real stats!

   Their entitlement culture will be the downfall of 54% of the population, and the real struggle for the next 20 years. Work hard and smart, and you shall reap the fruits of your labour.

   When we were born, we didn’t even know what colour we were until people started going on about race!

   I agree, Mpho – let’s move on. A wise man once said that different race groups didn’t need to worry about being polarised by others, because they’re so busy doing it all by themselves.

   If you are here it is either because God wants you here or because God is allowing you to be here – and you can’t fight God.

   Much discussion about “us” and “them” instead of being “South Africans” has done damage to an amazing work by Mr. Mandela who set the standard by “forgiving and including” in spite of bad attitudes at times. This is the hallmark of a Father who sets a higher standard as apposed to Thabo Mbeki, who arrived with a huge resentful and bitter chip on his shoulder. I am looking for ways to bring people together to make a difference and a future for all.

      Man does not have the answer.

      God has the answer.

      Jesus Christ said:

      “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

      and Jesus is God!

   I don’t like this fact. In my opinion, groups of people have been moving around the world, in search of better pastures for their cattle, or spices for their tea etc for so damn long that the concept of “right to land” should be obsolete.

   Whether it is right or wrong, these are the views held by people – so you can’t downplay a fact/perception.

   Interesting that despite belonging to a global community, we try go back to who has more right to a particular country? Race aside – the place of your birth dictates your right to belong in a land. Would love to see how Americans would react to being told that they had no right to their land, as most of their ancestors were immigrants? In the same light some of the greatest presidents and world leaders should not have been in their countries (or had no rights to it) simply because their ancestors originated elsewhere. 3rd world mentality and tribalism at it’s best…
