over-sensitive?
"); document.write("they speak the same way in house of Commons etc in UK, nothing racist about it... pity, thought higher of Mboweni... each fox smells its own hole?. edward"); document.write("
Over-sensitive
"); document.write("Normally I would agree, frankly I thought it was rather funny, but in the current political climate and modern day obessesion with being PC, Tito should pay. Firstly it can def. have an affect on business dealings, and secondly maybe politicians will think a little before they open their mouths. They get away with too much Rhetoric and labeling.. L_M"); document.write("
same old story
"); document.write("The point was mismanagement at the reserve bank. As usual the answer was to call on the race card.. piet"); document.write("
What prompted this reaction?
"); document.write("Could it be a case of typical
#BIC-Syndrome?(#Black Inferiority Complex).. Dr. Realist"); document.write("
Black inferiority complex
"); document.write("Dr Realist hit the nail om the head.It is being compensated for by driving flashy cars with the names on the number plate and building houses of more than 1000sq m.
Unfortunately if you should take all this away from them you are not left with more than you started with.. Charlie"); document.write("
Definitely over-sensitive
"); document.write("Can't help thinking that 1 million Rand sounds like a rather made up number, and that the majority of the \"damage\" to Mr Pretorius' reputation is self inflicted by his public demand for an apology. I live in the UK and am not South African. I would not have even heard about this story had it not been for Mr Pretorius' own actions. Mboweni's comments were pretty dumb, but Mr Pretorius sounds like he's either the over-sensitive or the self-important type to me. Just my humble opinion.. Mark"); document.write("
Lawsuit
"); document.write("Bull, Pretorius is not over sensitive. If this were the other way around the situation would've been worse (hou sou die hoender se vere gepluk het), Mboweni is is the Reserve Bank Governer he should not act like a clown. He must take responsibility for his actions.. Anne"); document.write("
Black inferiority complex
"); document.write("Charlie, I sense a bit of generalization in your statement. When you say \"them\" do you mean black people? If that is the case you cannot accuse Mboweni for saying what he said. There is more to the story, you can say \"jou moer\" to someone and it is fine until you change the tone of your voice. Think about it. Neutral . "); document.write("
Oversensitive, my ass
"); document.write("Typical waste - again - of taxpayers money.
Sue the guy, personally, for every dime he has - perhaps that will teach him that he works for all of us & to stop playing these silly race games. He has clearly done more to wreck this economy than any other single individual in SA

Neutral
"); document.write("My heading tells the story.
That is why we have such a lot of pompous people in the upper echelons of government.
You need a solid background to be able to carry your appointment with dignity and at the same time have sufficient insight into job you are supposed to do.
In one of her recent speeches Condoleza Rice said that you need a proper education to make sound decisions, otherwise you tend to withdraw into your own cocoon and regard everybody else as someone trying to take you down.(race card)
That may be Tito's problem.. Charlie"); document.write("
Oversensitive
"); document.write("When Tito the clown said\"I would not permit you to talk to me as white did to blacks\" he did not mention that blacks talk to blacks in a far worse way,this idiot is a bigger racist then Pretorius. Jack"); document.write("
