Governments around the World are generally singular in nature.  There are not two governments or three governments in a country but rather only single Unitary States or centralised Governments.  This is a limit that we have placed on ourselves in our thinking as humankind.  It is almost inconceivable that a country consists of three separate [...]

In Johannesburg, and surroundings, we have all kinds of people at traffic lights trying to sell things, beg, do co-ordinated beer crate dances and more.  On the sides of the roads there are informal traders selling handmade stick fences, dog kennels and boxes. There are food stalls and barbers.  All of the above, with the [...]

Dear Mr. President, Stats are an amazing thing.  They tell you for example the number of school leavers, graduates, business start-ups, teachers, nurses, tax revenues, number of potholes, the number of falsely registered vehicles, the number of unroadworthy vehicles on our roads, our short and long term water supply challenges, the power supply issues, the [...]

Economy issues: Let’s not pretend that we can build physical castles in the sky.  Everything we build in the physical world needs foundations suitable for the structure that needs to stand above them.  The same applies to understanding the world.  We cannot pretend to understand something when we don’t get the founding concepts correct.   [...]

South Africa is in Lockdown, extended Lockdown as of yesterday.  How do we know this?  Our President told us. South Africa is one of the examples of a Unitary State that can be found world-wide.  Citizens of a Unitary State have one vote for one Government.  This government solves all our problems with this one [...]

Anthroposophy also gives us concepts about economics, the Threefold Social Order and so on.  Practical Anthroposophy, as I described in my previous article and in my view, is that we can link these concepts given to us by Anthroposophy to any daily issue that encounters us.  In this article, I wish to link the current [...]

It would be wonderful if we could all get free National Health.  The question is, who administers who gets what?  Who pays the practitioners?  Where does the money come from?  Who sets the standards and hurdles for what people get and why?  In modern thinking the State is Unitary.  This means that we vote for [...]

Farm workers and their families have lived on the land where they work sometimes for generations.  The farm workers have no rights of ownership and, until recently, no rights of tenure.  The farmers themselves have ownership rights to the land and have passed these on to their subsequent generations.  The farm workers often know little [...]

Our anti-social tendencies have come from the failure of the autonomous development of people.  A commitment to an autonomous development of our spiritual, cultural life, means that it would be independent of economic and political influence.  The linking of political and economic agendas to the development of people through a healthy childhood and an education [...]
