When are we ever going to learn. We no longer have any excuses. Why do we have a person as the country's representative when that person completely disregards the needs of the people. We have earned the right to vote. To make our own choices. We no longer reside in a country that treats its citizens like filth. So why have we had the same president in office who has provided no solutions, only problems?
Before we know it, it is election time again, then we'll all be sitting with the same question... Who do we vote for? I certainly do understand that thus far we have not received a likely candidate. All the parties who pop up, offer promises and no guarantees. For them it's all about the trimmings and bows.
As far as I am concerned this is all about power. Most of them have their own ulterior motives as to why they would be fit for the position. They couldn't care less about the condition the country is in. So how do we differentiate?
Personally, I have no clue as to who to vote for, But I have no doubt that the ANC will NOT receive my vote. A vast majority seem to have the same opinion. Yet strangely they remain in power...
Seriously, the only way to change that is to appoint someone else. Voting seems somewhat like the LOTTO, all about chance.
This country is in complete turmoil, every man is out for himself. Where is the Ubuntu? What have we become as a nation?
Lately, the news is bombarded with the Wits students, What about the rest of the nation? The simple man who only wants to provide the bare necessities for his family. As far as I am concerned going to University is a luxury not a necessity. Everyone would love to have that opportunity once they leave school. Yet it will remain but a distant dream for most, as they need to go out and find jobs urgently so that families survive from day to day.
It is time to take a stand! Stand up for the individual as well as for the country as a whole. Every change begins with the individual. Before you go and vote, pay no attention to the promises in their speeches. Allow yourself to be led by your heart. Vote for the party who will stand by you, not the other way around.
We owe this to ourselves, and the late Nelson Mandela, I doubt whether would be very proud of the current condition of the country.
