Supra should do the right thing and step down

-

Even if people are angry, violence is not the answer to removing a premier who is not serving the people, writes from Braamfonte­in.

What we are currently witnessing in South Africa is not good for the country. Bearing in mind we used to be known as the protest capital of the world.

Now we are moving two steps forward and three steps back.

With Cyril Ramaphosa now being the president, many said things would get better.

Now we see what is happening in the North West and we question that wisdom.

The violence in that region should be stopped.

We understand that people are angry and they don’t want Premier Supra Mahumapelo anymore, but violence is not the answer.

The situation could have been resolved without the burning of buildings that will be needed by the very same people.

Supra himself must do the right thing and resign.

Leadership is not about him but the people that he leads. He must just go in peace.

The violence in that region should be stopped. We understand that people are angry and they don’t want Premier Supra Mahumapelo anymore, but violence is not the answer
