HOD's speech at Graduation Ceremony - KwaZulu-Natal ...

medium and micro criminals compete with the big fish for
the loot, where mining benefits are lost to graft and illicit
trade, where interracial tension increases in the struggle
for opportunity and resources, if we choose the future
where the spoils of growth and prosperity increasingly go
to the developed world, where the African Union exist
only in name, if we choose the future where the First
World comes first and the third world follows orders,
where there is no unity in the land, where leadership is
weakened and rendered unable to improve the lot of
ordinary people, where the majority of the population are
disenchanted with the formal political process, where
factions seek to impose their will on the broader
community, where the Youth gets frustrated by a
growing lack of economic opportunity and begin to seek a
home outside their country of birth, where the state
struggles to put a brake on the vicious cycle of illegal
economic activity, where provincial and local
governments slide into bankruptcy and more people turn
to crime, where the engine of our economy coughs,
splutters, and grinds to a halt leading to No Jobs, No
Money No Food, the future will be - God help us all.
