Our economy is stagnant, unemployment is dangerously high and most state-owned enterprises are near collapse. Mosibudi Mangena, former Minister of Science and Technology, and former president of AZAPO, is convinced that South Africa can do better. In We can fix ourselves, he looks at the reasons that we are stuck. While acknowledging other factors. Mosibudi Mangena points out the debilitating effects of a colonial mentality. He argues that Black Consciousness can provide the necessary antidote, so that we can be a more robust South African society. Scrutinising the spheres where we are failing - from healthcare, education and transport to crime - Mangena outlines practical possible solutions. He also examines our almost non-existent land reform programme, and the mismanagement of migration and immigration looking at how we can improve. Black consciousness, Mangena argues, can transform our society. South African can be a more prosperous country."-- $c Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-222) and index. 505 0 $a The health scene -- How are we educating -- Fostering worth through education -- Building through post-school education -- Celebrating the art and culture -- Food and fashion -- Of trains and taxis -- Taking care of local economies -- The value of SOEs -- Urgency of land reform -- Management of migration -- Crimes against citizens -- Taming the crooked -- Harnessing our mineral wealth -- The local government interface -- Constructing the future. 650 0 $a Black nationalism $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Black nationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833733 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 651 0 $a South Africa $x Economic conditions. 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020447.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=12E6BF10AF2611EC897049F049ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
