It’s going to be a while till we all smile in SA
THE EXCITEMENT of a new year quickly disappears when we wake up to the reality of a new year with the same old problems.
Many South Africans are unemployed and can’t afford basic things. I’ll avoid mentioning other problems we face because the list is too long, painful and embarrassing.
Living in South Africa becomes a challenge. All we receive is bad news and things that are going wrong. We need good news that will revive our hopes. And to put a smile on the faces of the hopeless.
We want is to see the government taking critical measures to bring solutions that will address our problems. It’s everyone’s duty to bring change but those who have the key to the nation’s resources must lead us; there must be serious accountability in the distribution of our resources. We have enough resources to give everyone a better life.
Unfortunately some decided to see others living the worst life, while they live a great life, at the cost of the poor.
We need leadership, we need leaders who are committed to change, the change that will bring progress and prosperity to everyone who isn’t idling. However some people feed on our problems, that’s why they don’t want this problems to be resolved. Our problems somehow make them rich. While the rest continue to suffer in their own motherland. The Struggle continues, a luta continua!
What distinguishes a leader from a follower, is the anointing and the capability to bring forth concrete and reliable solutions. “I might not be wealthy and famous, but I’ve got brains, and I can’t fail to come up with solutions to better my fellow South Africans lives.”
By the way, history tells us that, great change came through ordinary people who believed in extraordinary visions and missions There is a Chinese proverb that says; people who say it can’t be done shouldn’t interrupt those who are doing it.
The ANC was celebrating 108 years in Kimberley. I don’t question the celebration because the ANC has achieved a lot of success as a liberal organisation. Maybe they do have a reason known to them to celebrate.
But I’m partly questioning the number of South Africans who have nothing much to celebrate. Because the land of opportunities, their motherland, only blesses a few, while others live in the alignment of regretting the dreams that they never achieved because of doors closed by fellow South Africans in the name of greed.
The ANC has done a lot which I’m grateful for, and it still has much to do. But the first step for it to shame their haters is by handing over the baton to the young comrades, the next generation. We are ready to continue with the legacy of what our forefathers fought and died for. We are ready to come up with ideas and initiatives that will make every South African proud.
I challenge my honourable President Ramaphosa to turn the ANC 108th anniversary celebration into a project. A project to be led by young, ambitious South Africans to bring forth solutions to make this year a great start to progress the nation to greater heights. I humbly request my president to name the project; “108 Solutions Initiative”. We must stop pointing fingers and complaining, it’s the easiest thing to do, but it will take us nowhere as a nation. We must stand for change. “Count me in, in solving my motherland problems.”
