” by social commentator Donovan Williams which generated widespread discussion inside and outside the movement. Let’s continue the debate so that all viewpoints are aired.
Now here is a scientific approach to a complicated problem which is expected of any seasoned cadre who employs his/her tools of dialectical materialism. From its inception, the ANC has fought the most brutal system called apartheid with Africans taking the most losses and casualties. Blood was spilt and we walked over corpses for the freedom of our people and never want to witness that war ever again.
One has to lay emphasis on the above because there is a tendency with some theorists and commentators to speak of democracy in the abstract when, in fact, there is no such thing. Even in Greece, where the term democracy — meaning rule of the people —was first popularised, slaves were regarded as merely articulate tools. The poor peasants were engaged in a class struggle against the slave owners.
I am also uncomfortable with Williams’ formulation that “President Cyril Ramaphosa seems to be the epitome of false hope”. I find it difficult to understand what so conveniently places the president with a false hope pairing. I think this personification plays down and belittles his role in the ANC and society. s hopefulness and positive outlook seems to be the epitome of the false hope of the ANC.
