"The talks on the 'beginning of the rebuild of the country that is falling apart and the priorities for the country that need urgent attention' on which consensus has been reached 'by joining forces in every area of life on the ground working together for a better future’ will, like all previous talks in this regard, yield no solutions or any results,” says Fanie Brink, an independent agricultural economist.
He referred to the meeting between the Afrikaner interest groups and the Thabo Mbeki Foundation in the Western Cape that took place in Cape Town over the weekend. An "inclusive economy" is purely a slogan of economically illiterate and incompetent politicians, as well as political commentators and spokespersons, who do not understand what it means and how economically unachievable it is.
Only active participants in the economy who have some of the basic factors of production such as land and raw materials, capital, labour, management skills and entrepreneurship that can be used for economic growth and development can be part of the economy.
Economic growth is not created by political racism, discrimination and the destructive socialist address of the social and economic problems caused by the economic ignorance of politicians and their destructive political systems.
No progress will be made with such talks because it is not accompanied by the much-needed economic literacy and competence. The history has proven over and over again that political systems were the main reason, and are still today, why the economies of many countries have been destroyed in the past.
The identification of “successful agricultural projects that can serve as models for success” will be unnecessary because there are more than enough successful commercial farming businesses that can ensure the financial survival of agricultural producers and food security, as well as contribute to economic growth, but which government wants to expropriate without compensation. Such new agricultural projects will not be able to develop by plunging small subsistence farmers into poverty that will become permanently dependent on the government for their financial survival.
The "consensus" reached "that the government should not be an obstacle to progress" means absolutely nothing if no one who took part in the talks understands that the destructive ideology of the government is still the single biggest obstacle yet. Just as with the "consensus" reached "that we must join forces to work together from the ground up in every area of life for a better future".
After 1994, the former president, Thabo Mbeki, paved the way with his plan for "Growth, Employment, and Redistribution" (GEAR) for the full implementation of the ANC's socialist and communist ideology on which all the subsequent six "radical economic transformation, reconstruction and recovery plans” were also based and implemented.
All the plans were utterly unsuccessful in creating economic growth and could only succeed in plunging the country into a failed and bankrupt state. The implementation of further so-called structural reforms would have only further destroyed the economy.
Exactly the same is true for the latest "Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan" of president Cyril Ramaphosa and his social partners that will continue the destruction of the economy.
If neither party, like the government, does not understand that only the return to a capitalist economic system, as the most important national priority, will make a total difference to save the economy and rebuild the country then nothing will realise through the latest talks.
"Recognition, space and mutual respect to tackle any challenge jointly by different population groups," as well as the "trust and cooperation to build a better future that everyone in the country strives for," are needed, but will not persuade the government to give up its economic destruction that has taken place over decades and it will not create any economic growth.
This economic destruction can be very clearly measured by the growing gap between the government revenues and expenditures that is directly responsible for its rising budget deficits and public debt, greater poverty, unemployment, famine and human suffering while the ANC elite continues to enrich themselves rather than to actively address these serious problems.
"The only process how the economy can be saved and the country be rebuild is only through (1) the abolition of the government's socialist ideology imposed by the doctrines of communism on the economy and the country, such as the total intervention and regulation. of the economy that has already irreversibly destroyed it, (2) the stopping of the redistribution of all the assets and prosperity of the country, (3) drastically reduce the role of government in the economy to the establishment of a political and economic environment that will be conducive to the creation of economic growth by the private sector, (4) stopping corruption (5) making a total return to a capitalist economic system that is the only system that drives economic growth from the supply and demand sides of the economy, as proven by Statistics SA every quarter, which is driven by the profit motive, (6) allowing prices to fulfil its extremely important function in the economy by always bringing the supply and demand back to a market equilibrium, and (7) guaranteeing and protecting the property rights of everybody. ”
"There is no other way and the time for socialism is long gone," says Brink.
