When Madiba inaugurated the first Constitutional Court he told us that it would be “a court on which hinges the future of our democracy”. How right he was.“Constitutionalism means that no office and no institution can be higher than the law. The highest and the most humble in the land all, without exception, owe allegiance to the same document, the same principles.
In the background the mostly unintelligible Bathabile Dlamini mobilises the ANC Women’s League into action in defence of the corrupt and incompetent. A ragtag bunch of Zumarites like Carl Niehaus and Tony Yengeni lead the charge for Zuma as they spout words like ‘radical economic transformation’ and declare ‘white monopoly capital’ the enemy of progress in our country. All binaries in service of a dangerous populism.
This is also a moment of disease and unease as South Africa’s unemployment rate has reached record levels of 32.5% and inequality deepens. When Zuma calls the Constitution ‘their’ document, we all know what he is trying to do when he eschews ownership of it. In a world of cheap populism and easy answers, now more than ever we need to dispel what is reductionist and ahistorical.
Undergirding the values of the Constitution is therefore the next ‘struggle’ we face. It is one that pits those who would destroy the state for their own narrow gain directly against those who seek to build a country where those in power are accountable and responsive to the citizenry.
