Even the laziest online search of media coverage of South Africa, particularly a read through opinion pieces and the constant social media conversations about the country by South Africans themselves, will reveal that there is no shortage of ideas about what could possibly help the country overcome its ongoing challenges and get out of the rut it has been thrown into over, arguably, the past two decades.
This is probably just a form of subconscious offloading; there is nothing wrong with it per se because all humans under stressful situations – such as many South Africans find themselves in – need to offload to lighten the burden. But talking forever about the problem without taking concrete action against it hardly ever makes it go away.
None of the above has stopped, but going by very little or no action being taken to correct mistakes, strengthen the rule of law to ensure there are legal consequences for crimes committed against the best interests of South Africa, as well as to implement policies that stand a better chance to help the country begin of what will surely be a long-turn around and recovery, all messages and advice seem to constantly fall on deaf ears.
