Politicians will probably continue to destroy the South Africa we all love – that’s the nature of politicians and politics.
What we need is a corruption free, strong ruling party which can unite South Africans in restoring our beloved country.Yesterday morning, when I had my first cup of coffee, I made an important decision: I’m going to try my best not to be a dream crusher in future.
Suddenly I lived in an expensive designer home with a secondhand sports car that I’ve bought from Black Coffee in the garage.I realise a lot of people would have gone the full Monty in such a position – a mansion, a collection of expensive cars and an art collection curated by a loud, skinny man in a flashy suit boasting a handlebar moustache.
And it left me with a hint of disappointment when I had to make sure I have enough money in my account when I stopped at the garage for fuel. Not that my disappointment devastated me in the least. I have a niggling feeling that the upcoming elections may be another one of those impractical dreams.Yes, the ANC’s support will probably drop to below 50% and they’ll need a coalition partner to rule. But that is hardly a dream situation.
