I don’t think people fully understand what’s happening in South Africa.
The Madlanga Commission is exposing difficult truths.
People are marching and demanding accountability.
Leaders like Dr. Nasiphi Moya are busy trying to turn municipalities around instead of making excuses.
Despite all the noise, South Africa keeps moving.
This is exactly why we must fight for this country.
Not because it’s perfect.
Because it’s ours.
The future of South Africa won’t be decided by those who complain the loudest.
It will be built by those who choose to fix it.
The name is Lenin, not Lenon, but either way, here is a scenario I always refer to which has since been put to bed by the con court:
The city of Cape Town decides in 2015 to sell the Tafelberg land to private investors instead of resolving the historical legacy of spatial apartheid. Over the years the DA refused to budge and said that prime land cannot be used for low-cost housing and subsidise the poor.
This is local governance, by the way. We are hearing things like prime land and spatial apartheid. subsidise the poor ... All these things are not ideological to you; it's just words? if so then you are a fool.
I repeat, anyone who tells you ideology doesn’t matter is setting you up! Ideologies influence the policies your leaders create, who they protect and who they prioritise. Redistribution policies? Ideologies. Social welfare programs? Ideologies. Equal Service delivery? Ideologies.
One of the best things about the Madlanga Commission is that it serves as a reminder that corruption has no race, despite what people would want you to believe, corruption has no skin colour! There is no morally superior race when it comes to this.
Nothing comes close to Pep Guardiola being interviewed with scratches on his head and nose after a 3-3 draw against Feyenoord😭😭
“I wanna harm myself” 😭
