Lawlessnes­s won’t solve anything

-

South African taxi drivers in the city of Johannesbu­rg are showing the minister of transport, Fikile Mbalula, who they really are.

They are driving as they wish on main streets. At the taxi parking lots, they are parking like learners. In fact, here in Joburg they are parking and driving as if they want the traffic cops to tell them to “do the right thing”.

Guys, this is not a solution to solve our “political problems”.

The right thing is something that makes your family to be happy everyday if not always. Two wrongs do not make a right. Let’s correct the mistakes that our government made and surge ahead.

Politician­s are also people and are liable to making mistakes. They need to be corrected where they made errors.

Let us look ahead, correcting mistakes of our leaders and surge ahead with life. Everybody makes mistakes and very few people are able to correct them.

Errors are not corrected with automatic rifles like the Boers did. We sit down around tables, discuss and finally come out with constructi­ve and positive solutions that will help the masses to march forward without looking back.
