Coalitions mean politicians will spend their days fighting one another instead of improving the lives of citizens
Is SA ready for so many coalition governments? If experience is anything to go by, the answer is no.
Coalitions only work when the parties involved have the interests of the people at heart. This is not the case with all too many of our politicians. For them, being in government is about self-enrichment, while the poor remain on the periphery.With the country suffering from a pandemic of unemployment, poverty and corruption, it would have been logical to give the ANC another full mandate to root out corruption under President Cyril Ramaphosa, because he seems to be doing OK in that fight.
Since we are stuck with the reality of governing coalitions, we must demand that those involved put the people of this country first. If they don’t, those responsible should be punished in the 2024 general election.JOIN THE DISCUSSION: Send us an e-mail with your comments. Letters of more than 300 words will be edited for length.
