Wait, you are heading that way? Like, it get's worse? Shouldn't it be the reverse? What's the reason for this.

Basically government policies and not educating its population.. after 30 years the cracks are showing. We have massive urban decay in our major population centres and no maintenance done on critical infrastructure.. Where I reside each day without electricity means the water supply is affected and we without water almost every time the power goes out.. the power goes out every few hours :(

Man that does suck. I still remember when everyone was talking about how south Africa was on its way towards becoming an economic powerhouse in Africa.
