- As we go to the 2026 Elections perhaps these are some of the thoughts we should have in mind:
- Every time new LEADERSHIP is introduced, it allows for new enthusiasm, innovations, ideas and a change of mindset.
- Observing the politics, emotions and theatrics at play every time there is a change in leadership; people react either with enthusiasm or strong resistance.
- 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 and political parties 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 400 people seated in the comfortable seats of parliament – but we can direct them!
