"The Upliftment of the Poor" will never happen it is just a political catch phrase used by politicians to get the public to vote for them.
Give me an example of one country in the world were there is no poor people and were the government is actually uplifting poor people. Every man/woman in South Africa is responsible for his/her own standard of living and that is a cold hard fact.

"The revised green paper strips the planning commission of its executive functions, which Cosatu strongly objected to and claimed would effectively turn Manuel into a prime minister." These opening words by Caiphus Kgosana in the 'Sunday Independent' tell us a lot. How can 'leftists' undermine the role of the planning commission and yet still be working in the interests of the working class? The elation of Helen Zille over the revision of the Green Paper has demonstrated clearly tha COSATU (and not for the first time) is objectively working in unison with monopoly capital which hates all planning unless from within its own structures. This is a step backwards fom the implementation of Polokwane decisions and will inevitably delay the uplifting of the living standards of the poorest of the poor. __________ NOD32 3620 (20081118) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
