We are swept up in the euphoria of short-lived freedom.
South Africa faces a growing cocktail of risks, resulting from the fallout of a failed economic policy, rampant crime and corruption, growing unemployment, the Covid pandemic, government-driven populism and racial tensions, political instability, and the conflict in Ukraine. It is time the government started focusing on fixing what they broke, as well as looking closer to home to regain some of its former self and become a continental driver for economic development and growth.
As democracy initially came – and later went – we found ourselves swept up in the euphoria of short-lived freedom. Africa doesn’t need our government’s advice on how to destroy an economy, further racial and ethnic tensions, and create a failed state. We can become the powerhouse of Africa and a world leader in certain expertise the government has tried to stifle and destroy.
We ought to be welcoming African and foreign businesspeople into our country. We need to work at developing better relationships with especially our continent and its people.
