I personally urge all South Africans to vote in the best interest of the future of the country in the next municipal elections.
We must not vote for the ANC just because of the goodness and achievements of the past.
If you’re a parent whose child fails at school, you’re unlikely to console yourself by saying “Oh well, at least my child passed last year”. You’d probably be angry and look for ways of changing that fail into a pass, maybe by changing your parenting strategy, in the best interest of your child.
In the same vein, why do we keep on voting for and honouring a party that keeps on failing us? Let’s change our way of thinking and vote for change.
South Africa desperately needs change; the education system is poor, health-care services are poor, unemployment is high, corruption is out of control, the justice system is slow … the list is endless.
We should stop telling ourselves lies – we have to stand up for the truth to save our beautiful and blessed country.
At the Cosatu conference in 1993, then-President Nelson Mandela said, “If the ANC does to you what the Apartheid government did to you, then you must do to the ANC what you did to the Apartheid government.”
