“South Africa needs a genuine reset, and I fear it will take us eons to recover as a country if we don’t do it by 2024.” That is the view of Advocate Mojanku Gumbi – a former advisor and key strategist to former President Thabo Mbeki.
Advocate Gumbi has just taken on a new role as Special Advisor to the United Nations Secretary General on Racism in the Workplace.
She came to New York on UN business – her new role in helping address persistent racism within the UN system.Gumbi talked about South Africa and her assessment of the work done towards constructing the foundations of a democratic, non-racial, human rights-centric post-apartheid society. A reference to next year’s general election that could see the ANC majority whittled down to below 50% for the first time since the new dispensation.
“But the country is in such deep trouble that we are going to have to go back and bring everybody around this compact. You know, you hear many leaders in South Africa talk about the social compact, but I, I really genuinely believe that there is no way that you can have a social compact led by the ANC and let it be acceptable to the majority of the people. I don’t believe it. And if the ANC any of this is responsible and loves the country, they will recognise it.
