RE: Is it our right to influence others daily lives?
The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this is a conscious tactic by an outside force. In Ireland, our semi-public bus and coach operator had a 3-week drivers strike called by their union. Nobody seemed to know what they were asking for and it's unclear if they got it or not, and our economy is also endangered (yet to a lesser extent than yours) and now the company is insolvent and will probably have to sell more of it's public shares to the private sector.
Ironically, it was easier to drive around the city during those three weeks.
Same happens here. Companies and mines close down after strikes. We already have a very low employment rate and it's just getting worse. And when they strike they start breaking, burning and hurting those who don't strike with them. Everybody has to suffer because they're striking. It defies logic.
Thank you for that insight into the current situation in SA. We don't hear about these things in the rest of the world unless it's from Whites, and they mix it with racism so it's hard to tell what the truth is.
