Heritage Day 2024
Politics has changed yet stayed the same through the ages they just dont challenge their opponents at dawn to a duel as much as they used to ... nothing new under the sun.
Politicians are politicians... we often blame Politicians for not delivering and place blame on them when "gifts" are not declared ... where disclosure is needed and accountability is an art of deception within the Political landscape; this is the norm... this guy just got caught.
Often Politicians followed the mandate, followed the law ... use the loopholes in the law to defraud the nations, push their own agenda, have their ego stroked by their own people... where is the line? Who determines the line?
There is "corruption" everywhere ... mostly designed to be within the law and hidden through ticking boxes or meeting minimum criteria... administratively they want to get things done ... be it Public Participation shortcuts or Stakeholder management through wining the opportunity over and excusing creature comforts bestowed on them, etc
There is definitely a multitude of grey and the loadest person, the one who shouts out, the most unscrupulous, the stronger bulldoser, the one who dismisses the ordinary citizen raising concerns as infintile and uneducated... those are the Politicians who are often the ones we see... but the powers in the background that those are perfoming for are the most dangerous, the most corrupt ...
This Heritage Day in South Africa my prayer, wish hope is that we find a way to interact with one another that is wholesome and brings life. That our Political heritage changes from one of severe corruption, lack of discipline and poverty inflictors to one of True Authenticity and Hope... how I dont know ...
I live and work in hope ♡
