READER LETTER | What would it take for most African countries to emulate Rwanda, which is dubbed the “Singapore of Africa” because of its orderliness and cleanliness?

I have not been to many African countries except Zambia and Zimbabwe as a tourist, having gone there out of curiosity to see the Zambezi river and Victoria Falls. I can’t say much about the state of their cleanliness, but I know Rwanda is the only country known for its unmatched cleanliness in Africa.

Some years ago, SA was not bad until the arrival of the great freedom that changed everything. It attracted hordes of people who did not care about the country except how they could exploit it by any means possible, ripping it apart, littering, kidnapping, destroying infrastructure, killing without thinking twice about it.

Some ruthlessly fought for whatever remains they could get from disused mines and others. Heavily armed gangs engaged in cash-in-transit heists while our government turned a blind eye because Africa is home to all Africans. Is Rwanda not an African country? Where else do citizens have to endure extreme levels of pollution, with sewage running into their homes? Where are the expert engineers from Cuba when we still have these problems? Have the ministers of environment, water and sanitation run out of ideas? It cannot be impossible to emulate Rwanda. Please do try.

We have way too many rights here won't work,😂😂

But can south Africa handle being ruled by a dictator? Let's not get it wrong, he's one of those dictators who actually care about taking care of the country, but he is a dictator with a horrible human rights record

They dont have the corrupt, arrogant, power hungry Anc in Government. A Gkv that cares, makes all the difference.

Totalitarianism maybe

Wait until the next Democratic and bribable and agreeable Leader takeover. All that will be eroded.

A dictatorship maybe?

Changing the mindset of the ignorant citizens and visitors……
