“In governance, the principles we must uphold are rooted in our history, our words, and the actions we strive for. The RPF has always said we must fight corruption. That principle does not change. The idea of fighting corruption from 31 years ago cannot be abandoned simply because we now live in a world that tolerates corruption, whatever that world may be. Rather, what changes are the methods we use to fight it. The principle itself does not change. The methods you use to fight corruption may change depending on circumstances and the evolution that has taken place. But the idea to fight corruption does not change.” Chairman Kagame | 17th RPF Congress

“But even as things change, and they must change continually, not everything changes. There is always something that remains constant: who you are, and the values and aspirations that define how you should live and respond in the midst of change. The core must remain constant.

While there is a substantial increase of immigrants into South Africa in absolute and relative terms, “The majority of immigrants are young adult males, age 20-44,” i.e., the group least likely to need healthcare services. * For Gauteng, the foreign-born immigrant population is 1,185,925, which is only 22% of the total 5,188,286 incoming migrants, i.e., people born outside Gauteng, according to the 2022 census. It is mathematically impossible for a nationally dispersed population of 1.5-2 million to be a greater burden on Gauteng’s health system than a concentrated influx of 1.5 million new South African citizens in the same province. The focus on migrants is a demographic fallacy.
