If forces are concentrated to achieve narrow objectives, the chances of success are increased
SA may soon be a failed state. Ordinary South Africans are like passengers on a crashing aircraft, helplessly waiting for the inevitable. Can the tide be turned or is it game over?
Lack of accountability is core to our dysfunctional political and governance structures. A successful strategy to achieve an objective against heavy odds requires maximum concentration of available forces to a pivotal point. First, replace the national proportional representation electoral system with a constituency-based system. In a constituency-based system, non-delivery by politicians will increase the probability of losing power, because voters will know who to hold accountable. Politicians will be motivated to act in the interests of their constituencies.
Changing the electoral system and the way senior public servants are appointed will require the introduction and completion of legislative and other processes. Political pushback can be expected.
