Six cabinet ministers and 30 provincial MECs deserve an applause for having resisted the scramble to buy luxury cars for themselves. Instead, they are using their own vehicles or those bought by their predecessors. Isn’t that an indication that the new administration is trying to lead by example relative to the past? At least for a change now the new administration brings hope to people.
Recently Sexwale made his way through the smelly sludge in narrow alleyways in Diepsloot in order to listen to the view of people regarding service delivery. Attended mostly by members of his department, local councillors and journalists, he said government officials need to expose themselves to the conditions in which poor people live. "I am here today on a listening campaign," he said. "I want to know, who are you, what are you doing here, what do you want and what made You come here?" He was embarking on a "journey" to assure residents that the government want to put an end to informal settlements, he said. This to me is the way to go in solving problems of our masses.
I harmonize with your observation and perspective of focusing on the good as opposed to those egotistic politicians. A gloomy or murky cloud of doubt was cast over the JZ presidency, but JZ doesn't allow those sadists deter him from fulfilling his election mandate - ensuring that communities are adequately serviced.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely believe that if afforded time, the government will deliver on its electoral promises, because they received a rude awakening from the now suffocating & opportunistic emergence of COPE.
Borrowing from the President's campaign slogan "Together we can do more" - by working collaboratively with people centred officials and preserving existing facilities and resources, adequate advancement will be evident.
