‘It’s time to make good on those promises’

- DINEO MABOE |

WE AS a country continue to wallow in the cesspool of underdevel­opment, poverty and crime because we lack any decency as a people.

Every well-thinking South African has expectatio­ns when there is a change of government; we hope that there will be a shift away from corruption. With corruption and wastage that sees our children still using pit latrines and our people in certain sections of the community walking with buckets to get water, or poor roads that cause misery for rural folks.

All conditions that none of these politician­s would want for themselves.

Every time there is an election the poor are promised land, housing, water, electricit­y, toilets, education and jobs. It’s time to make good on those promises.
