Emerging South

I just read and watched this post from Shane of the SA Ideate guys.
I already wrote on the issues South Africa is currently facing.  The major challenge South Africa and Brazil face is to have an inspirational president.  I can write a book on my optinion about Brazil's president Lula.  The man used to work on a factory chain less than 20 years ago and is now featuring in the Forbes list of richest people on the planet.  Yet, the man inspires his country and above all unites it.   "Unity gives power" is written under the Belgian flag.  I wonder whey theer's no such a thing as a survey which measures the unity of a country.  Yet, it is one of the most determining parameters for a country's future in these times.  Chile, Brazil, Costa Rica, Denmark,... would all be countries in the top 20.  Despite all our efforts and semi-intellectual bullshit on integration, countries like Belgium, France and even Holland are scattered in a zillion peaces.  Lost beyond oblivion.
And the US and South Africa?  They live crucial moments.  Either they fall apart or they stand up as the strongest united nations in the world.    It all depends on a leader which can inspire and unite the citizens of both countries. 

The below trailer is a beautiful metaphor of the history, challenges and potential of both countries.  Let's send it to the management of Eskom !
