As South Africa tinkers with near-failed state territory, QaanitahHunter explains why her optimism for South Africa still persists. GoodNews24
While concerns have been raised that South Africa is turning into a failed state, the writer argues that there is still reason for hope. explains why her optimism for South Africa still persists.
The long queues for petrol, the extreme hyperinflation and devalued currency that I witnessed in the South American country caused a panic deep within me.The longer I spent in Venezuela, the more I optimistically concluded that while South Africa has many, many problems, we are far too resilient as a people to succumb to complete ruin.
But my optimism for South Africa faltered when Covid-19 dawned and when we saw savage-like looting of state funds meant to save lives. It showed us how fragile our democracy actually is. It gave the doomsayers validation. It left optimists like myself heartbroken.Since then, a chorus has grown louder about how South Africa is on its way to a failed state.
