The poor won't be patient forever

The patience of the poor should not be taken for granted, Minister of Finance Trevor Manuel said on Wednesday.

"As long as poverty remains at its current levels, it will test our democracy," he told Pretoria business leaders at a breakfast meeting.

Manuel told his audience they are privileged. Part of that privilege is the fact that poor South Africans are patient and have placed their trust in a better future.

"We must not take that patience for granted."

The minister urged the business sector to become more involved in the fight against poverty, adding that more money is not the solution to everything. The focus should be on boosting human capacity in all sectors, including business and the government.

They are now only patient because YOU have the guns pointing at their heads.
