The Freebie Nation


COSATU's proposal for remission is going to
case the government pain. check to view source
South Africans have become lazy to do anything for themselves, because they believe that it is the duty of the government to provide each and everything for us. There is nothing wrong with the government providing us with free houses, water grand and education but we cannot expect the government to give us everything for free. Ever since South Africa has turned into a freebie nation, people do not want to do anything for them because they know that the government will provide for them for free.

I disagree with COSATU proposal of wanting R200 000 remissions from the government to help all South Africans who have being blacklisted read more . The reason why I disagree with this proposal is because there are people who are really suffering and that money could be used to help those people instead of paying for debts that people got themselves into welling.

If the government is going to pay for people’s debts, next time the government will be paying us clothes. The government is already providing too much for the people and the sad part is that people who really need help from the government do not get help. 

Enough is enough; it is time for this to come to an end people need to do things for themselves because this freebie scheme has gone too far.

  1. I trully agree that south africans are now lazy to anything for themselves and that is one of the major contributing factors of strikes because people think government owes them whatever.

    1. I agree with the only thing South Africans can do best is striking forgetting that they are the one who are causing those strike because they are lazy to work but they want increase on their wages.

  2. i aso don't agree with money being used to help those who are blacklisted because what if others also consider loaning money thinking that if they can't repay it the government will help them i mean they took a loan fully knowing that they have to pay it

  4. Dineo I must say that you have raised a good point. We South Africans we want everything for free.it is said that we even protest for freebies. I think somehow we must learn to do things for ourselves, therefore ask the government to intervene.

  5. That is so true and I totally agree with you, not if unless our people start working for themselves then we will always face the same problems that we are facing as country. I think that our people should start taking responsibility for themselves and stop depending on the government for each and everything that is of an importance to them and their lives.

  7. South Africa has indeed become an idle country. The country needs to invest in things like education or poverty not paying debts for citizens who are able to be skilled and get a job.

  10. The word free made the whole nation to rely on free things and without working hard to get what they want....if people could stop being lazy and start working hard for themselves everything would be great for the country's benefit.
