document.write("Few articles are as honest as this - well done. I believe that the key to success was reducing unemployment, and Trevor Manual and his band are to blame. Instead of running budget surplusses every year, the government in any country like ours should have been running deficits and growing the economy as hard as it could.

Now the government is spending, but if it too little, too late? . Craig");

document.write("There is still an opportunity for SA to find leadership that has the mettle to steer through the storm, we are talking about straight arrows that can stamp out corruption, get fiscal spending to reach the poor and restore socio-economic justice. All without the help of Eskom or easy money. Inflation will dissolve the patience of the poor, so time is of the essence.
