| Description | Are we in South Africa really living in a crisis? There are many in our land, our Prime Minister amongst them, who think not. After all, they say, we live today in inflationary times — not only money, but also word inflation. Everything is a crisis. Yesterday’s crisis, to adapt an adage, wraps today’s fish and chips. And, when we point to Soweto, they remind us that many people have very short memories. Yes — the Soweto riots rocked the country. But 16 years ago we experienced Sharpeville. The country was placed in a state of emergency ... hundreds, if not thousands of whites left our fair shores, convinced the end was indeed nigh ... foreign funds disappeared overnight ... the world raised loud and angry voices ... exiled leaders made appointments with the press “I’ll see you in Pretoria” they said “in a couple of years’ time”. | |
