Mondli Makhanya | Let’s enjoy the special gift of election season, with all its wonderful promises
The posters are up. The t-shirts are everywhere. The masses have been fed dry chicken even drier rolls. It is bonanza time for artists as they are being booked for stadium and hall performances. Unwanted visitors are rocking up at our doorsteps. Strangers are going to be stopping us in the streets and in malls to try and convince to buy their brand of baked beans.
We still do need to do better on the peaceful side of things though. There should be no need for the concerns that abound about possible violence, no matter how limited. Thirty years down the line we should be well-practiced in this democracy game.Be that as it may, we should be grateful that our country is not named Pakistan, Myanmar or Gabon. No leader is going to be jailed, rallies disrupted by armed forces or internet disrupted.
Just as wild is the EFF’s plan to nationalise all mines by 2028, do the same to the banks, fight GBV by enacting forced sterilisation, introduce compulsory military conscription of up to a year for matriculants, boost the defence budget, multiply social grant payments and provide free higher education and cancel all student debt.
