EDITORIAL | Democracy or kleptocracy? The coalition choice is clear

Coalition talks | Deputy President Paul Mashatile and Western Cape Premier Alan Winde at a coalitions conference at the University of Western Cape in August 2023.The election result of 29 May 2024 has brought South Africa's political parties to a stark historical moment.

His son and friends, the Guptas, captured our state-owned enterprises like Eskom, Transnet and Denel and turned them into their piggy banks. The time for jokes is over. The Patriotic Alliance, who advocate for the return of the death penalty and is led by two former bank robbers, will occupy a number of seats in Parliament after June.This is the moment for democrats to stand together and choose the future of South Africa over political differences. The alternative is too ghastly to contemplate: a slide into a populist kleptocracy that could reduce the country to ashes.
