She screwed it up by decimating the rail network that existed between smaller towns in the hinterland. Drive through the Free State, and you'll see that ALL the stations have been bricked up. Beautiful Victorian buildings. Wooden floors stolen, windows and doors removed. Derelict and unused, thousands of kilometers of rail sold off as scrap to some Eastern country. Giving road freight an enourmous boost while shooting the State (that's us actually) in both feet. 

The continous wining about "costs for the taxpayer" has almost become an anthem in some quarters. A Wailing Wall should built just for them. If tax cannot be used to build and sustain infrastructure, for the use of everyone, what should it used for? 

The "incredibly succesful taxi business" he refers to is built on the exploitation of drivers, who drive like madmen to make a small profit. It was a mistake to allow them to have such prominence. It should have been built around a proper PTS as a subsidiary service.
