In crisis mode with visionless leaders

PRESIDENT Ramaphosa insists Mzansi is not a failed state. Corruption is a critical element when any state slides into political anarchy as solid governance and total accountability cease to exist as has been the case in our country.

Corruption is a constant in the society and occurs in all civilisations.

As a nation, we will continually wobble and meander aimlessly through life till the kingdom come. Beloved Madiba must be shedding uncontrollable tears in his invisible abode in the land of our ancestors, because of the clinical swiftness with which the nation he struggled to build is being systematically and carelessly disassembled.

Many of our so-called leaders have earned MBAS in looting, Phds in lying under oath, while others who joined the never-ending gravy train earned diplomas in the art of embezzlement.

In Mzansi, the process of the incubation of irreversible collapse began 15 years ago, will lead to complete anarchy leading us to become an impoverished Third World state.

We are already living in an era of multi shredded social cohesion. We grimly witness a government becoming overbearing while it makes inexplicable errors of judgement. The failure to respect constitutional responsibilities has already alarmed many global investors.

The smokescreen to fudge the vulnerability of our economic edifice can only be counteracted by hiding facts and producing unreliable data about the true and critical nature of our deep and immense crisis.

We are in crisis mode as our visionless leaders are in utter denial.
