its like borrowing money to host a party that you will pay with interest. it was the arms deal, then eskom loan and wc loans have to be paid too. this will manifest itself in jobs cuts, cut in social expenditure, failure by government to deliver on its election promises etc. nationalism and narrow patriotism will do us no favour to deal with the associated injustices. we will be left only with vuvuzelas and other outfits all made in china and debt to pay. we have been prostituted, manipulated and lied to. i wonder who is responsible for this because its not the working class and poor. i wonder how the revolution is protected and advanced by this.
