Letter published in Sunday Times : Cronin's excuses

Why is it when Jeremy Cronin talks about high port fee charges blocking our manufacturing exports ( How History Haunts US “, Sunday Times,29 April 2012) he make himself sound like a member of the Opposition ? Why has his party not been able to fix this problem until a start was made this year ? Who was in charge of South Africa from 1994 until now – Martians ? Why did government not act on this matter despite appeals for it to do so for many years prior to this ? Those are the questions Mr Cronin should reflect upon, not some one eyed version of “history” as it suits him . And a little bit of humility for the mistakes of seventeen years in power would not go amiss either.
