South Africans are optimistic that 2019 will be better, for themselves at least2018 was a year filled with very few hopeful moments with the South African collective psyche moving from one president to another, from one scandal to another and from one death to another. 2019 , just like one's yearly resolutions, will ONLY be better if and ONLY if we do things DIFFERENTLY from the previous years, things don't CHANGE by themselves because in this world, you make your own luck☺☺☺ This is no suprise - Its only the 14% that have been looking long and hard at numbers and stastics and the terrifying realities.
