Gee Darko, I'm certainly not giving advice.
And I certainly dont speak for anyone else except me.

There's a very fast way to shut me up, Darko.
Prove me wrong.
In addition, most predictions are based on historical fact.

I am amazed(and grateful) that the ZAR is doing as well as it is.
When was that small bounce when the News hit that Trevor Manuel had resigned?
Within my lifetime the rand was at 2 to the £, I also recall 21 to the £ within my childs lifetime.
What was the rand when we had that little bout of Xenophobia?
Are you saying that the current good performance is going to continue ad infinitum?

Again I am extremely grateful that there was as little violence at this election.
94,2001 and 2005 elections all had Zulu's and Xhosa's killing each other and a very high murder rate, so on probability theory, Mbeki/Zuma/Cope/IFP and all the shenanigans with Malema and Ancyl,there was a strong possibility.
or are you saying that tribal factionalism in SA politics is past?

My point on this thread is that all the little titles and comments such as your
"I think the reason we see such individuals with negative eyes, is because of their relentless knack to will / wish SA into doom - and somehow it just doesn't happen in reality. They are simply bored in my view. "
Is simply trying to negate the horrible truth that SA is failing because those in power are corrupt and the electorate ignorant.

Tell me, do you also see Archbishop Desmond Tutu's recent comments as willing SA into doom?

What would it take to turn SA into a typical failed African State?
