Let's elect leaders based on honesty, courage, moral vision and selflessness Elections2019 MzansiVotes
For an election in which cleaning up government is the central issue in the May 8 national polls, there’s a lot of political mud being thrown. All the political parties claim to be best suited to wipe away the country’s ripe reputation for cronyism, private use of public resources, bribery and state capture. Yet they continue needling each other over ethical lapses rather than focusing on promoting the policies they’d pursue if elected.
Millions of people will be going to the polls with corruption weighing on their minds, thanks to the string of commissions dealing with graft.Current events in our country show that people are starting to wake up from the slumber of corruption. They are demanding better governance. As a result, the sixth administration is going to be taking over with a cloud of previous scandals looming overhead. There is a dramatic and immediate need to return to fundamental ethics.
Let’s face it - no one is without flaws. But leadership requires sacrifice, the willingness to subordinate one’s own desires and needs for the good of the people one serves.
