The National Development Plan
What is South Africa going to look like come 2030!

One must understand that our country is not run on instant decisions and spur of the moment choices, but by planning and dedication to making the lives of South African people a much more pleasant journey. Some believe that planning and dedication do not exist in the government today one cannot justify or overrule this statement by simply watching on the surface!

Good day to one and all my aim for today is to educate and inform you about the NDP (National Development Plan). Recently meetings regarding such plans were held in Cape Town and the plans for our beloved Country from 2013 to 2030 have already been finalised. I assure you the information I share with you today is not only legit but accurate and important!
The NDP is an outline of the plans the government has for our country in these plans we see the direction that our country will take, whether South Africa will see brighter or questionable future in the days ahead.

The vision statement set out by our government is long and promising but as the question arises in all our minds will our government deliver on their promises and plans. In the vision statement many issues are touched on, issues like how we arrived at our first democratic election, how far we have come from the time of that election, how communities should communicate and how the people of South Africa should hold up their flags proudly because they believe in their country! They speak about economic freedom and how we will all live better lives, lives that are enriched by the fruits of our labour and how we will benefit from our effort put into our beautiful country.

You may say our government has been promising and not delivering for a very long time but I say to you look at how far we have come at how much we have grown, if not for changes and disputes our country would not have matured we would have not had the opportunity to say as a country and a nation as a family that we

    In this speech, Justin Trudeau presented three main arguments. Firstly, he asserted that the current Conservative government under Prime Minister Stephen Harper does not work for the middle class, the economy and is leading Canada into another recession. Secondly, he confirmed that he is the voice of the people. By recounting the personal stories he had heard from his travels across Canada, speaking with local citizens, he attempted to present himself as the people’s candidate. Lastly, Justin promised that he and the Liberal Party stand for true change that will benefit the middle class unprecedentedly.…

    Often more times than not, people cringe at the thought of politics, but there are the few whom desire the power to enforce change. Politicians rarely receive adoration from the general public, and they shoulder the country’s burdens, but none have been adored (hence the term Trudeau-mania) and have progressed like Pierre Trudeau. Trudeau grew up speaking French to his father and English to his mother and this combination is what defined him; Trudeau was not French or English, he was a true Canadian. Pierre Trudeau was not like most politicians, other politicians compromised and soothed; while Pierre Trudeau came into politics with his guns blazing while saying, “Just watch me”. The consequence of these actions led Pierre Trudeau to have a strong supportive following, and an equally strong army of critics. He was a controversial man, but not one Canadian can argue that Trudeau did not bring Canada to where it is today. Prime Minister Trudeau, almost singlehandedly, molded Canada into the image that he desired; a country that was bilingual, rational, and a just society that was founded upon the ideals of freedom and individual autonomy.…

    Security agencies had launched investigations upon each other; causing the prosecutor’s office to be weakened in the process, therefore remaining leaderless. Despite South Africa’s varied and independent media — which had analyzed and investigated the story at length and even so involving the country’s decent courts, this story is still one of many that have never been resolved to anyone’s satisfaction. In which demonstrates that one wrong move could partially paralyze South Africa’s democracy, and so displaying their struggle in resulting difficulties. Anne Applebaum’s solution to all of these problems is that South Africa needs to continue its revolution, neutralize the security state, change its economic policies and, above all, deepen its…

    At the end of a violent, unjust and racially biased thirty-four year policy put in place by the ruling minority, the National Party lead by white South Africans, the new government, the African National Congress (ANC) had questions that they needed to answer. Questions such as how we go about providing justice and healing for the majority of a nation that has been forced to live in conditions of extreme poverty, experienced brutal and violent racism for the majority of their lives and have had loved ones wrongly imprisoned or worse murdered for no reason at all? For such an incredibly large scale task this was not going to be easy for the ANC to do.…

    On May 14, 1994 Nelson Mandela stood before an audience of international dignitaries having endured decades of fighting against apartheid and 22 years in prison. His country itself had suffered for more than 150 years under the strictures of apartheid. His speeches in the past had influenced the hearts of millions of fellow South Africans, but today his speech would signify a new era and a new page in the history of South Africa. Every word and sentence were carefully chosen in order to serve a specific purpose and address different audiences both within South Africa and the rest of the world. The purpose of his speech was not simply to address the nation as its new president and offer gratitude to those who put him there;…

    The new political system was established by the interim constitution voted into law in late 1993 and officially implemented on April 27, 1994. The interim constitution provides for a Government of National Unity and for a five-year transition, during which the final constitution would be drafted by the Constitutional Assembly, consisting of the combined Senate and National Assembly. To understand fully the revolutionary nature of the new government and the direction that the political transition is likely to take in the long term, it is necessary to examine the evolution of the political system that was based on the principles and practices of apartheid.…

    I hope that the governments around the world will start to pressure the South African government to end apartheid as an example, economic sanctions. If some of the countries stopped doing business with South Africa by imposing economic sanctions against them, the economic status will drop in South Africa and this will lead an international pressure to the white government as because the white government wants money. As the pressure and protests increased, I hope that the government will begin to relax some of the apartheid…

    The Republic of South Africa, while certainly taking forever to do so, made monumental leaps with regards to civil rights when in the early 1990s when the government repealed Apartheid legislation and had its first universal elections held in 1994. A quick look at GDP numbers and you would find that South Africa has the largest economy in Africa, and so without delving deep into it one might think that the economy and country have been prospering post Apartheid. After all, more people than ever have access to clean water and electricity and from 1996 to 2010 the proportion of people living on less than two dollars a day fell from 12% to 5%. Unfortunately for South Africans of all races, this prospering has not been the case.…
