Introducing more legislative interventions cannot adequately address the country’s steady progress of degeneracy, but perhaps an educational intervention in the form of a bottom-up approach can be an added layer in fighting this disease.
More than two years since the Covid-19 outbreak, South Africa, like other countries across the world, is still grappling with the containment of the virus. Despite a decline in infections in recent months, the virus refuses to show signs of completely abating any time soon.
The MRM has had several subsequent summits and has also adopted the Charter of Positive Values , which has certainly raised awareness of the importance of morality in the social fabric of South Africa. However, at its core, the challenge of addressing moral decay starts with the question of morality and ethics in society, as it speaks to what is considered right and wrong .
Despite the impressive legislative machinery that already exists in South Africa and the efforts of the MRM, such a top-down approach has clearly failed to address the country’s moral decay as more and more scandals of corruption, bribery and other government and individual failings continue to inundate almost every news cycle.
