So, as our parliament descends into chaos on Thursday night, setting off a week of inconsequential political posturing, think of all these things we could do if we had politicians who took their duty to the South African people seriously and had the capability to develop the solutions we need in this moment.
This is not the time for grandstanding. It is a time to unite South Africans behind a clear set of objectives and plans to get us out of this crisis before it is too late. And since not much will change despite all the speeches and comments on Thursday and the days after, we must set our eyes on 2024 to finally give South Africa the chance to rise from the ashes.
We can do this by ensuring that we have a new, stable, and visionary government to take us out of this mess.
