Country produces politicians in name only, not leaders.
Our unruly parliamentary sittings are an embarrassment and also destructive and divisive. Picture: Gallo Images/Jeffrey Abrahams
In fact, we experience the opposite, despite supposedly having a government that is “from the people, for the people” and it is apparently known as “democracy”. The system we adopted in South Africa produces politicians in name only, not leaders. They know very little, to nothing, of leadership, yet they are leading us. They steadfastly refuse to be held to account for their failures. They don’t attempt to bring out the best in the people they serve. They are certainly not leaders and we ought not refer to them as “political leaders”.
That is not leadership. Nor is it democracy. It is, instead, an insatiable greed and uncontrolled deception practised by incompetents. An assessment of our political dilettantes – they are not leaders – will reveal that time and again, we opt for substandard people to guide and lead us. To cover up their incompetence and their destruction of the economy, they seek to lay blame elsewhere, as they usually do. They now claim we need an economic revolution.
