The CoJ is in a deep crisis from which it appears unable & incapable of extricating itself. With each passing day, residents, workers,& businesses are confronted with potholed streets, leaking water pipes,overflowing sewers,malfunctioning traffic lights, & lawlessness.
Yes.
I’d cut the executive to around 15 ministries, remove all deputy ministers, and start the process of recruiting the 15 new ministers because none of the current ones would be guaranteed a place in the new cabinet. Ministries like COGTA will be gone and we will discuss new ways for kings and chiefs to collect monies from their “subjects” - good luck to them.
All new ministers would require 7+ years of relatable industry experience and the retirement age will apply to cabinet members as well. I will also introduce fixed term limits to cabinet executive positions to prevent misters from hopping from one ministry to another.
I’d move Parliament to Centurion. Supreme Court can stay in Bloemfontein.
COSATU and that other team led by Zwelinzima will catch hands - because their agents are unlikely to make it to the new cabinet on the second-most important currency of all… merit. (The most important currency is time)
I’d start a referendum for the reconfiguration of the Republic into a federalised state. If it fails then I will humbly resign as President and return to my career in the private sector. But if it doesn’t fail… keep reading.
District Municipalities will be gone and we shall re-demarcate the country accordingly. This means we will return to or enstill Johannesburg, Sandton, Randburg, Germiston, Soweto as separate interdependent municipalities.
I’d cut all forms of unnecessary social welfare - only pensions, disability grants, homeless shelter, and public healthcare as we know it would remain. The rest… RDP, R350pm, child grants, etc are out. This also means that NHI, Basic Income Grant, and notions of free education will be axed - and yes that includes NSFAS. Our federalised territories can reintroduce certain welfare programmes if their people vote for it, but none will be a national obligation.
I’d initiate the massacre of most SOEs by either removing them entirely (RAF, SALGA, etc) or merging some others (NERSA/NECSA et al, PRASA/GMA et al, etc). The list is too long to give more examples.
There will be a serious drive to insource the needs of municipalities, communities, and public infrastructure like police stations. No more outsourcing of civil services like refuse collection and landscaping. The staff complement will work for the municipality, not contractors.
The security cluster will see an overhaul, with a strong focus on border management, a capable police force, a capable navy, capable air force, and a capable cybersecurity corp. The newly-federalised state will foster increased numbers of men+women in uniform, and associated resources like patrol cars too. Each municipality will be subsidised by the federal state to maintain existing police and fire stations, as well as building new ones.
On education, OBE will be scrapped and more control over decisions will be given to School Governing Bodies instead of only cascading district-wide decisions to local schools. The newly federalised state will also means that headmasters are directly accountable to their council and in turn the voting public.
Petty crimes will carry harsher penalties, with misdemeanours like litter carrying a jail term alongside public crimes like squatting.
Lastly, I will cut taxes heavily and cap personal income tax to 25% at the R800k+ mark. VAT will increase to around 17% and certain import tariffs like luxury goods taxes will be scrapped completely.
To the guy who hit a cyclist with your GTI, on the Bronkhorstspruit road this morning at 7.40 & drove off. I truly think you are the lowest form of human life & an oxygen thief! I hope the damage to your car is extensive & I hope karma f's you over. The cyclist got hurt badly fyi
Sooo... an internal Eskom employee is fingered in sabotage and suddenly 6+ months of near constant stage 6 load shedding alleviates in the middle of a freezing winter.
And nobody in Eskom or even the media is commenting???
