Vote for government you want, vote wisely

- FAROUK SALOOJEE FAROUK ARAIE

THIS year was ushered in by violent protests across the globe. Extreme wealth and abject poverty will define the political trajectory the world will follow. South Africans go to the polls in the most pivotal election in the history of our troubled and divided nation 25 years after democracy was born and freedom was attained.

South Africa is a sick society, morally and ethically bankrupt.

We have destroyed the legacy of Nelson Mandela, insulted the memory of John Dube, desecrated the sacrifices of Oliver Tambo, mutilated the dedication of Albert Luthuli, nullified the dreams of Govan Mbeki and shattered the ideals of Winnie Mandela.

This year will change the course of our history. Vote wisely or you will get the government you deserve.
