Leadership not about certain individuals

It’s time for the people to stand up and say enough is enough, writes

from Braamfontein.

Tom Mhlanga

It high time the people of South Africa open their eyes and also realise that our freedom came at a price. What is currently happening in provinces such as KwaZulu-Natal, Free State, North West and Eastern Cape is a sign that this democracy is taken for granted.

The worse part is that these people sometimes use names of our late leaders, who made sacrifices, to achieve their end means.

Why would these people even kill each other for the interests of certain individuals?

They don’t care about the people, nor do they benefit from these shenanigans. Only their masters do.

People must now stand up and say enough is enough. Why must our country burn to fight your proxy wars? Any sober person could see that factional politics is not progressive but rather it destroys and will continue to do so.

Supra Mahumapelo has plunged the province of North West into crisis and, unfortunately, there are people who are supporting him. He must be isolated if he doesn’t want to do the right thing.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has done a great thing by invoking section 100 of the constitution, putting the entire province into administration. Other provinces must learn from this.

Leadership is not about certain individuals but the people at large.
