Do they need more money

I look at the developmental challenges that our nation has and I realize that it is so hampered by political games. It is not only here in SA, but in fact a global phenomena. The government, who has the money, is controlled by politicians and not by managers or philanthropists and those who have the power would like to remain in power. The way they can remain in power is by trying to buy favor from the masses with the taxpayers money. So they promise certain things and if the people scream they have to give the people what they want or else there will be violence. People have developed a GIVE ME OR ELSE mentality in our nation and this is so dangerous. It is dangerous because it is not sustainable. People have been brainwashed to have an "entitlement" mentality. If we look at human development and the things that hinders it then entitlement is a major stumbling block to progress. We need to get the politicians to a place where they will listen to the development planners and not just keep the masses quiet. Sometimes you have to offend people in order for them to go forward in life.
