Justice4Vernie: 'ANC unleashed subtle apartheid tactics on its own people' | by Sithembiso Garane
. The subsequent call for an investigation into the circumstances that led to Uncle Vernie's death is a noble one; and acceding to this call by the relevant institutions is a correct thing to do.It is a sad thing that it had to take a confession by one of the agents of perversion of our society for our people to realise the depth of the rot in public administration.
More concerning, though, is imagining how many people not as prominent as Uncle Vernie, have met their untimely demise after following their good conscience. How many judicious servants have been lost for refusing to assimilate into this culture that now dominates our public service and administration – the culture of looting with no regard to the suffering masses of our people?
There exists no adequate proactive mediatory administrative justice mechanisms for the safeguard of state integrity and operations. The little that exists is easily manipulated and manoeuvred with ill intent. It is on record how the system failed individuals like Uncle Vernie and my own father, Lennox Garane.was the last possible shout at all those with control of levers of the state power to take heed. It was also intended to be the loudest noise a human being can ever make for attention.
I have special appreciation for people like Mr Dennis Bloem who stood for principle during his time as chair of correctional services committee – all that he did despite knowing it compromised his political career. May his bravery and uprightness inspire many to follow suit.Now, it would be amiss of me to come here and talk about the grievances about the civil service and generally the citizens without attempting my own diagnosis of the problem.
My family and I would be saddened to hear of another public servant denied justice. If the ruling elite cannot root out rouge elements within its ranks, it is only the people who can root out rouge elements within society. Democracy is very simple – you elect your servants, make them account to you, if they serve you earnestly give them more power; if not, revise your step one.
