The legitimacy of governments

When will they wake up?

South Africa knows this better than most. A minority government will loose its legitimacy eventually.

Any government that transparently serves the needs of a few rather than the will of the majority will be at huge risk of losing power. We see this now with obvious and transparent consequences from massive evidence of fraud and enrichment of a minority while the government ignores burning trucks, a collapsing economy, a desperate need to halve the levels of government expenditure and protest politics the norm.

Meanwhile 2 million jobs are lost and millions others are on reduced pay. Yet there has been zero sacrifices by government employees. Is this financial and policy apartheid?

We have already seen one minority government fall in this country . Are we about to see another go the same way?

We are one second to midnight and there is just enough time to salvage the situation for 60 million people. But only If there is a political will and vision to succeed.

Oh how we miss your wisdom and leadership Madiba
