Politician­s sell dreams instead of execution

-

Madam,

We are definitely not out of the woods yet as a country.

,n all honesty, what has been happening for the past few months made me realise that nothing positive or worthwhile is going to be achieved as we still have people who are either refusing to be accountabl­e, shifting blame or pretending all is good and well. 7here is absolutely nothing that is reassuring.

ASSESS

7his, therefore, makes it Tuite difficult to even assess or criticise anything said because all that is said is merely a faoade and lacks depth. Most public officials just throw some words together and hope someone will be fooled enough to believe that what they are saying is true and will be beneficiar­y.

7he continuous talking and no action has characteri­sed the leadership in this country for years now and true to the %ible; there is nothing new under the sun. $ll speeches lack innovation and depth and are just a mere recycle of previous ones. ,t is as though we are all just stuck in a hamster wheel. 7here¶s nothing new in wanting to revive the economy, everyone wants that, but we need more than that.

We are being subjected to mediocrity in terms of service delivery promises and we are e[pected to lay by the wayside and accept whatever we are given. 7he poor ta[payer, who works so hard just to ensure a better life for people who barely make his or her life easier yet that should be their mandate. 7he citi]enry is tired and are close to assuming an attitude of not caring.

7here neither is nothing promising nor is there anything to write home about concerning anything happening in 3arliament, all we are witnessing are grown men and women making sure they at least have something to say in order for their monthly salary to be justified, other than that, there is ]ilch that we can e[pect, in all honesty. 7here is nothing to look forward to in terms of the leadership in this country.
