Open letter to Ace Magashule: Corruption and patronage have robbed the people of Free State of their human dignity By Tshediso Mangope
I am terrified by the fear I see on the faces of many good comrades in the province; I am tired of seeing the few good comrades resign themselves to the political wilderness for fear of being destroyed by your network. In truth, our movement and province deserve better.
This happens at a time when President Cyril Ramaphosa is hard at work to convince society that the ANC is being born anew. I already got so much negative flak from some of your supporters on social media for criticising this march. They were calling into question my intelligence and loyalty to the congress ANC — the only movement I call home.
What worries me is that you do not seem to be concerned about these people who spend their precious time defending you despite overwhelming evidence that your leadership is harmful to their collective progress. And so I am writing to beg you to pause for a moment and think about the disruption you are causing in the lives of your supporters. You see, if there is one thing that always prevails against anyone, it is time.
The consistent lesson in this is that time will certainly prevail against your supporters unless something is done to end their madness. In truth, some of them have gone beyond the sin of just defending you. Wittingly defending a man who has caused so much havoc in the lives of Free State people makes them complicit. They are just as brutal as you are on the people of this province.
