“South Africa needs a genuine reset, and I fear it will take us eons to recover as a country if we don’t do it by 2024.” That is the view of Advocate Mojanku Gumbi – a former advisor and key strategist to former President Thabo Mbeki.
Speaking exclusively with SABC News in New York in February, she floated the idea of returning to the period in 1994 which ushered in a Government of National Unity – a type of social compact she insists cannot be led by the African National Congress . “The reason why we let poverty still persist is because we may have not gotten it right in 1994. And I think that the country is in such trouble right now that we need a genuine reset, and we need to go back and see what it is that we did not pay attention to in 1994. So, we almost need it. If we don’t do it, if we don’t do it in 2024, next year, I fear that it may take us eons to recover.”
“A genuine reset for me means we need to bring the country back to almost where we were when we formed the government of national unity. We do. But I can tell you, I do not think the ANC has earned the right to lead that government of national unity. No. 1994 they did. I don’t think right now they really have acquitted themselves well to lead that government of national unity.”
