It's hard to be positive about a country that gave MKP 15%. A party founded to preserve the privileges of the Zuma family under the guise of black emancipation.

@Kolavic_ I've never met someone who is against tax revenues actually being effectively used to better the lives of SAns. Most people seem to have a problem with corruption & the fact that some of these things are seen as victories in lieu of giving people real jobs and opportunities.

@Lynette_SA Yeah but to be fair, at current tax rates, people have been complaining about the fact that they even need to pay for their own private healthcare and security. Government is not efficient at extracting value for money. You don't fix a leaking bucket by throwing more into it.

They expropriated land and strategic sectors of the industry, concentrating power and resources in the hands of the government elite. Funds for government welfare were raised through increased taxing of mining companies, further straining the economy and driving away investment.

These efforts delayed Venezuela's impending crisis, but it all changed when Chavez died in 2013, reportedly of cancer. The cautionary tale doesn't end there. In South Africa, a party nicknamed the "red berets" espouses similar policies.
