OPINION Fikile-Ntsikelelo Moya: Until SA gets a leader who can rally the nation around a common agenda, it will remain stuck in its quagmire.
If the anecdotes about whites voting for the ANC because they believe that President Cyril Ramaphosa is “good for business” are true, then the ANC is up for a hectic further five years.
The state will not adequately address the challenges of poverty, inequality and joblessness without ramping up entrepreneurship. The state simply does not have the resources necessary to provide the changes that South Africa needs to get where it needs to be. To be fair to the ANC, it has always had to balance the various and sometimes radically competing interests. It is truly a broad church.
The next leader of South Africa will be that man or woman who will be able to articulate what it means to be a South African and what the greater good for the greater number of South Africans is.
