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 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 a few people seated in the comfortable seats of our BURNT parliament – but we can direct them.
