Are the South African government and especially Trevor Manual....?

How does the old proverb go? " If you give a man a fish, then he will eat today. If you teach a man how to fish, then he will eat for a lifetime." It seems like the government like to dish out a fish here and there to their favorites, but instead of teaching people how to fish, they actually take the fishing rod and break it. This is the fiscal policy of a government that will do anything to stay in power, even if the they have to sell the country out down the line.
