Use your vote wisely to rid our country of poverty

A HAPPY NEW year to everyone. May you and your loved ones have a happy, safe, healthy, prosperous and blessed 2019 and successfully meet the many challenges that lie ahead.

Let us all be positive and hopeful for God’s many blessings and not be demotivated to inaction and apathy by the evils of crime, deception, fraud, violence, corruption, racism, xenophobia and other malices that abound.

Individually and collectively, we all must play our part to rid our beloved Mzansi of these scourges.

Poverty is South Africa’s, and indeed Africa’s, biggest challenge and nemesis.

This pivotal issue should be addressed at all levels as a priority, so that we can have a better life as we share our precious resources, talents, and provisions.

Voters, please vote wisely. Discernment is crucial in the national elections this year to ensure that we progress as a renowned nation and our constitutional rights are upheld.
