outh Africa, like many other countries, continues
to struggle from within for harmony amongst
social classes. Current policies continue to
undermine capitalism and they promote racism by the
redeployment of wealth from the people who create
wealth to those who want something for nothing.
The nature of human beings is that we appreciate
the fruit of our labours, thus we’re motivated to learn,
apply ourselves and achieve. Nothing good ever comes
from just giving people something, without their
putting forth some kind of effort. They don’t appreciate
it, then they expect it and before long, you’ve created
generational welfare.
It should be a crime for politicians to disenfranchise
people and keep them uneducated by taking away
their sense of self-accomplishment by giving them
money. Worse, by giving them your money and reappropriating your wealth! It’s not acceptable. It needs
to stop, but the truth is, it’s unlikely.

want my children’s children to grow up?”
There’s always a sacrifice to obtain wealth, liberty
and freedom. There’s a monetary price, a time price,
an emotional price and it’s all rewarded by an internal
commitment to improve your lot in life. For some of
you who have wealth, it’s time to protect and preserve
it before it’s confiscated through social policies and
reform. You’re cannot be blind to those policies and
you can see it coming.
The questions is: “Do you take action to protect your
family and your wealth, or just let nature/history take
it’s course?”
For those who are ready to take that big step across
the pond to immigrate to the US, we can help. This
isn’t for the faint hearted, it’s for South African’s that
