When the mountain grows

So as we battle to survive in this rainbow missing some colours,we look to conquer the mountain within us all.So much has been achieved in our short democratic existence.We have achieved much more than the world anticipated.After all the pain of the past we thought it will be imposible to see our nation rise and be happy.That being said we still fight the everpresent battle,of poverty and unequel distribution of wealth.Still we live in a country where the imbalances created by the past,is dictating the future of the majority.Too few opportunities were created to,call us equel citizens of this country.Our education system is in such tatters and the gap between,public and private-school is growing.The inequality will only ever be adressed,if we imorove the level of public education to the same level of private schools.Make sure every child that finish school,goes to a tertiary institution and get a good education,to contribute meaningfully and informed to the countries growth and financial sustainibilty.We need to shift away from investing in all but education.Goverment must make full bursaries available for all pupils,to ensure all that starts grade 1 finish it if still alive.We need to create our own engineers and keep them in our country.That means that they will be tax payers,rather then social grants
