50 million, 22 million,12.5 million and 5 million
So what do these numbers represent?
Simply the South African population is about 50 million, the number of voters is about 22 million and the employment pool is about 12.5 million.
So what is the 5 million?
The number of individual taxpayers.
Its said that "a government that robs Peter to pay Paul will always have the support of Paul". So we have a government voted in by the Paul's who will rob the Peters who effectively have no political power.
Is this "democracy" something that can last?
