The next time you hear a SA politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you wanted the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money so easily.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but this may put it in perspective:
A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was walking on earth.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E. A billion Rand ago was only 27 hours and 12 minutes, at the rate our SA government is spending it.

Non of these taxes existed 25 years ago... and our nation was one of the most prosperous in Africa.
We had absolutely no national debt... We had the largest middle class in Africa and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened? I hope this goes around at least a billion times.
