Mathews Phosa: The people have spoken – not with a whisper, but a roar: Better service delivery and morality are among the things needed to save the ANC from sinking further
sectors and a number of other factors. All these had little to do with fighting the pandemic head on. Industries such as South Africa’s wine industry were bruised and battered by our management of the pandemic and those that survived it will take years to recover.that we face in the public sector. Nowhere has it been as shockingly exposed than at the Zondo commission.
Another factor is that the leaders of major political parties were slow to realise that the electorate now understands the difference between promise and delivery. They cannot be fooled forever into the promise that tomorrow will be better than today. They have heard that once too often. We cannot govern by selective morality. While some leaders are prosecuted before courts and targeted by some streams of the media, other leaders are left with their devious disguises of working with tenders and other devious opportunities. We should all be equal before the law.. Racism is the go-to modularity for excuses for non-delivery and weak leadership and does not do the trick with the electorate anymore.
The leadership should finally realise that they should govern by substance rather than by spin. Unless the ANC top leadership realises that it must rule by deeds and delivery, it will die a certain death as outlined above. There should be no excuses whatsoever for theft, fraud, bribery, nepotism nor secret deals between the private and public sector.
