Its interesting to see how far Zuma adminstration will go to appease a restive population, wallowing in abject poverty. You realise of course that its largely Uhuru-not-yet for many, imagine the man staying with his family in Diepsloot or Alexandra who sees the opulence all around him and not in his pocket.From a social perspective, this is a time bomb, no wonder crime is unmanageable. My take is, Zuma will go all out to reach to the masses, take on policies that distress business and industry while spending large on massive public expenditure issues like housing. The repercussions may not necessary be felt immediately, but in another 10-15 years time. SACP and Cosatu will ensure that the poor this time are not sidelined. Well articulated, Mr. Mawere.
