“The United States has more free highway and roads than the whole world combined.”

As I used to say some liberal colleagues....
“Yes, South Africa needs some REAL changes.
But of all the miserable countries in Africa...why are you solely lashing out
at the one with more paved roads than all other African countries COMBINED?”

Perhaps if less aid went to building failing dams and into roads, they’d have more success. If it easier to get to school, the hospital, to the market to buy and sell, it has an impact on rural and semi-rural populations. Much more than yet another failed great leap forward.

Yes South Africa has an advanced road and industrial infrastructure. I went there on business in September 2005 and I was impressed with what they have built in their country. And also they are a very friendly people.
