Gosh, This, the Rand manipulation, the deep rooted corruption in the ANC who looted R41B! I just wish SA realized its potential without the human scum.

You wish for the wildlife to riot?!

The implication was there are some non scum humans. Meh, I guess it's possible.

Wildlife?

He means that without any humans left, the only ones left to influence the country will be the wildlife.

Ok

Or machines, can't think of anything else if we rule out humans. :)

How dare you ignore the stones beneath your feet. ;0

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Companies like Microsoft, Oracle, CISCO etc routinely lobby (a euphemism for kickbacks in kind) with governments in developing countries to corner big contracts.

These governments could invest a fraction of that money in open source tools and reap benefits for years to come. Unfortunately neither intent nor ability exists in these governments (including mine in India) to think for themselves.
