South Africans have long hoped for a better life, but almost 30 years into our democracy we continue to be plagued by inaction and silence when we need deliberate and intentional participation. It is difficult to imagine that anything will shift in the coming months.
The burden of leadership in South Africa cannot ignore the complexities of our broken society, but it also cannot expect the people to simply imagine a better world and hold on to the dream of a better South Africa. The State of the Nation Address has to be deliberate, focused and provide certainty — especially when a nation and its people are suffering. The parliamentary proceedings would have avoided the crippling and destructive consequences of rolling electricity blackouts and power failures while the rest of the country continues to live through the consequences of “load shedding”.
The social compact required to rebuild and revive South Africa does not require much as we have seen South Africans stand ready to contribute to rebuilding their country.
