We dislodged the apartheid government through dialogue after many years of struggle. We must stay true to our cause when this country faces the prospect of a junk nation, writes Modidima Mannya
We dislodged the apartheid government through dialogue after many years of struggle. We must stay true to our cause
At that stage, we had a huge apartheid government debt which we had to service. We had to extend services to the previously disadvantaged. Fast-forward to 25 years later, and our country is gripped with the very social ill against which our forebears fought so hard and for which they laid down their lives.Racism has reared its ugly head again without apartheid laws and signs of the past. Some of our leaders have perfected the art of destroying a country and our nation.
It is true that we must avert this potential calamity. The question which has still not been properly answered is what must happen to avoid this crisis? As long as no one sees any role they must play to contribute towards resolving our crisis, the more difficult the future will be The sadness of our situation is that there are already clear signs of resistance and possible rebellion to what the minister has proposedThe private sector, like certain communities who use the threat of a vote to extort concessions, is forever hyperactive in deferring their civic responsibilities.
There is no doubt that something must give to usher in a new era which will make us realise our dream of a better life for all. There is reality that we continue to fail to have a meaningful dialogue about what we need as a collective effort and contribution to address our major challenges.
