Former deputy president Dr Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka has called on those elected in the upcoming local government elections to lead with humility.
“We have no water for hygiene but there was money for water. We have no proper housing for a large number of our people, we have no clinics within reasonable reach for a number of our people and the money of the poor is being stolen by people who feel they are being owed by society,” she said.
Mlambo-Ngcuka said leaders cannot continue to rely on deploying people into positions based on their struggle credentials.“No municipality must have people who count money when they cannot count their fingers. We are here to support, empower and to make sure that they succeed because if they don’t succeed, we are in hell.”
“Today, we are in this space where we really have to reflect about our history and where we are going to go and move forward from here. We are in a pandemic, we are hopefully going to get over it, but it has been hard.” Young women of today are the best hope for creating a society that will cope with the 21st century, where technology dominates. “We need you to come forward and occupy that space.”
