Our country

What a beautiful country we live in. We have a country with a rainbow nation, a country with various minerals, a country who has an icon like ex president like Nelson Mandela.

Yet still so many problems causing unpleasantness in our country.

The high unemployment rate that has caused people to lose their homes is extremely sad. This then leads many, to a life of crime, which causes many of our professionals to emigrate. Students are stabbing and killing each other at high schools.

Winter is fast approaching, and we have so many people poor people living in shacks. The poorer communities will also go to bed with empty stomachs. The food prices affect everyone in our country, and last but not least, the drug problem that has torn our communities apart.

What can we do? How can we rid our country from all these setbacks? Some people blame others and believe that religious instruction should be brought back. Many feel that corporal punishment should be brought back into our schools.

Whatever the reason, South Africa is still a beautiful country, but we need to stand together. We need to play our part in making South Africa a safer, happier country to live in. We need to act. We need to act now!
