Business Leadership South Africa’s Busisiwe Mavuso says crooks outnumber the good men and women who want to see real change.
South Africa has been going through tough times and while many believe the country is merely struggling in the area of governance, there are some who believe the country is on the verge of collapse. While this isn’t the first time SA has been cited as a state heading towards collapse, the recent natural disaster in KwaZulu-Natal, violent protests and antimigrant marches have fuelled the debate once more.
The plight of state-owned enterprises, such as Eskom and those involved in railways, were a sign that SA was not moving forward, which, according to Schussler, proved strong government interventions in the form of law and order were needed. “I don’t think we’re absolutely on the brink of collapse, things can still be turned around by making decisive actions – which we haven’t seen yet,” she said.
The government has argued that SA is not a failed state yet and it is rebuilding its capacity, but according to an activist initiative launched on 7 April as a national discussion document on democratic renewal, SA’s cracks are starting to show.
