15-million S.Africans in famine-zone

15-million S.Africans in famine-zone

April 4 2011 – source: Marietjie Smit, Solidarity trade Union. PRETORIA. The world came to a virtual standstill in the last few weeks due to the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It was all over the news and social networks were abuzz with messages containing information about the event.  Everybody was talking about it. Many posted visuals of the destruction on youtube.

Churches all over the world held special services. World leaders sent messages of support. Many welfare organizations contributed food, clothing and other necessities for the survivors of the tragedy. Countries all over the world, including South Africa, sent doctors and medical supplies to aid. An estimated 12,000 people lost their lives due to the tragedy. Just as with the devastation brought about  by the tsunami that had hit Phuket in 2004, it took a disaster of unimaginable proportions to move the world to respond to the suffering of  other people.

South Africa’s man-made disaster affects more than 15-million people:

 In South Africa – which was a first-world, wealthy country only 17 years ago before it was handed to the African National Congress on a silver platter  --  there is a constant disaster going on all the time: and  right in front of our eyes: more than 15-million people now rely on government subsidies. 14-million black people get daily government food-parcels to survive.  Some 58% of all its households do not have access to a flush- or chemical toilet. More that 19% of  all households do not have clean running water.

------------------------------

Demographers say that between 600,000 to 800,000 of the 3million Afrikaners now are totally destitute – without any rights to government subsidies nor government food-parcels because they belong to the ‘previously advantaged group, i.a. they are whites. . Since the ANC-regime was peacefully handed over the hegemony of the country by the last Afrikaner president FW de Klerk  in 1994. the poverty in this well-educated community rose by 150% --and 131,000 Afrikaner families also no longer have adequate housing. The situation is made worse by the fact that there is only one social worker for every 4,000 persons in South Africa. This causes vulnerable children to be exposed to unimaginable horrors, because the infrastructure supposed to help protect children from sexual and slavery-predators has collapsed: hundreds of thousands of South African children of all races now are abused, molested and often raped – even the smallest infants --  with genuine places of safety nearly non-existing.

The once so efficient network of low-cost State hospitals which kept the population healthy and flourishing during apartheid, now has become part of the problem: the poor service and dirty conditions at these hospitals now also endanger the lives of many. Stories of newborn babies dying monthly from infections and filthy conditions in State hospitals are so commonplace that  they hardly are deemed newsworthy these days - they have become the rule rather than the exception.

Poverty in South Africa is a huge disaster affecting more than 15-million people of all races…

 Poverty affects the lives of more than 15-million South Africans of all races. You don't need to fly to Japan to witness the result of tragedy at first hand: tragedy is all around us in our townships, caravan parks, backyard dwellings and street corners. Ask the woman begging at the intersection where she lives. Ask the carguard to explain his living conditions to you. Ask around at schools:  how many parents cannot afford their children's school fees.? Ask your neighbour why there are so many poor people living in that backyard…

You don't need to go to Japan to help people devastated by tragedy. You can - if you really want to - help your own people..... here at home. Please consider joining the efforts of Solidarity's Helping Hand community - give your money, give your time offer your prayers.
The victims of this manmade disaster in South Africa also need your help.  http://www.helpendehand.co.za/armoede-in-suid-afrika-is-%E2%80%98n-ramp/

The ANC-regime's man-made famine:
During apartheid from 1960 to 1994, the expertise of the 85,000 Afrikaner commercial farmers - now being murdered and dispossessed under the ANC-regime by the many tens of thousands - managed to raise vast quantities of excess-food on our dry subcontentinent: eracing famine and, combined with vastly improved free healthcare in excellent public hospital under the National-Party government before 1994, many black children survived who would otherwise have perished as they do in the rest of Africa;

The black population explosure in South Africa from 1960  puts the ANC-regime’s propaganda-allegations that 'millions of blacks were murdered' to rest.

The black South African population explosion:
1960…16-million
1970…21,7-million
1980…24,2-million
1990…35-million
2000…43,8-million
2010…55-million – with 15-million people suffering famine  (including 6-million foreign Africans who migrated from their own disfunctional countries to South Africa since 1994…).
