Our reaction to new leadership is based on the reputation of the existing leadership, combined with expectations and hopes of improvement from the new one.
Either way, the introduction of new leadership brings with it a weird mixture of uncertainty, combined with hope and excitement.
If we do not like our leaders we must banish them,
If we do not like our government, we must fight to change it,
If we do not like the way things are going, we must speak out and stop it.
Building a great South Africa is the job of each one of us. We can never entrust that to just the people seated in the burnt comfortable seats of parliament – but we can direct them.
