Change for South Africa - Takalani Tondani.
Isn’t it time for change?
I really think our constitution must be reviewed and changed if needs be when it comes to how the president of the country is elected. The nation should choose a person whom they see fit to lead them as opposed to voting for a party and then some 4500 people choose for the nation. Those 4500 people are politicians and have their own agendas. They will choose whoever they know will push those agendas (and they are mostly for their own selfish reasons).
The incumbent South African president was elected in 2007 at polokwane by those 4500 people on behalf of the nation, but it’s no secret that had the country been given a chance to choose a president, Jacob Zuma would not even have been in the top 200 list. They chose him to rid Thabo Mbeki, a decision that would come to bite their arses later on. In a month’s time those 4500 people are going to choose a president for the ANC, “and I’ll be damned if Jacob Zuma is chosen to be president again”... that’s what a lot of people say and it brings me to my next point. You see, in South Africa we have a problem. In people’s minds the ANC will forever rule the country even when they don’t like the person elected as the party’s president, hence the party’s triumph even when the elected president is stupid, a polygamist, selfish, corrupt and many more. They fail to understand that they have choices in that ballot box when they cast their votes.
In 2002 Jacob Zuma was accused of fraud, corruption, rape and goodness knows what else. In 2007 he was elected the president of the ANC regardless of the aforesaid accusations (never mind the outcome of the judgement, where there’s smoke there’s fire), yet the ANC won the 2009 elections...are you all stupid or just slow?...I wonder. With that said compatriots, don’t cry when Jacob Zuma uses R248 million of taxpayers’ money to refurbish his home...you should have seen it coming, and this should be a lesson never to vote a party which doesn’t give a jerk about the needs of the people but their own. For 18 long years the ANC has been ruling the country, isn’t it time we give another party a chance....I don’t know, that’s just me, but this issue is open for discussion. Let’s talk...
