Cape Town - South Africa is about to receive its "second wind", and the forthcoming May 8 elections have the potential to be the genesis and catalyst of the nation's renewal, Archbishop of Cape Town Thabo Makgoba said on Saturday night.
South Africa today faced a new struggle, a struggle about values and institutions rather than about personalities. It was necessary to build strong systems which could not be undermined by one person or party's whim. To ensure that government worked to improve the lives of all, especially those of the poorest of the poor, these institutions had to be strengthened.
None of the major parties were exempt from this criticism. All had been guilty on occasion of opportunistic stunts and shameful attacks. In the public mind, parliament had become a place of spectacle instead of serious debate about the laws and policies needed to improve people's lives. Moreover, too many members of the governing party held their leaders to account only when they sensed the leader's influence in their own party was ebbing, he said.
I thought they clipped his wings? 🙆🤣
