Business and civil society are ready to work with the new government after the election, despite post-election uncertainty and the expectations of coalition governments. There is also a call for whoever is in government to put the people of the country and their interests first.
Duvenage says Outa believes the various law enforcement agencies must come down hard on any unruly behaviour and be firm in taking action against all perpetrators involved, more specifically the instigators of unlawful conduct.He adds that the IEC must take a hard look at the administrative issues that arose and begin in earnest to modernise and beef up their systems, in preparation for the local elections in some 30 months from now.
Duvenage says South Africa has demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of numerous challenges throughout its history. “Our nation’s ability to adapt and persevere is a testament to the strength and spirit of our people. As we navigate this new phase and political landscape, it is important to remember that other countries have successfully transitioned to coalition governments, resulting in enhanced transparency, accountability and economic success.
However, he expressed Outa’s disappointment at the decline in voter turnout, and one wonders what these figures might have been had potential voters not been discouraged and abandoned their efforts due to the long queues and problems experienced at many of the polling stations. “Our democracy is indeed a vibrant one with free political contestation and multi-party contestation. The outcome of the vote reflects the will of the people.”“Given the lack of an outright majority party to lead South Africa, we call on all the political parties to prioritise the interests of the people of the country first in putting together a coalition that will take us forward.
