This is further exacerbated by the fact that many citizens even though they want to, do not know how to participate in governing decisions affecting them nor do they know how to hold politicians accountable.
The politician must do what it had undertaken to do in its elections campaign manifesto and the citizen must ensure that the politician does what he or she has undertaken to do. Some of the findings included: 141 municipalities awarded contracts worth R1.2 billion to officials of other state institutions; 77 municipalities awarded contracts worth R474 million to close family members of employees and 40 municipalities awarded contracts worth R30m to employees and councillors.
The poor is therefore becoming poorer, while the wealthy thrives, and inequality continues to deepen.Let us not forget the protests, rioting and looting that took place in July this year in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.Citizens and politicians must now decide whether they want to remain on this course or turn the tide?Politicians and the public officials they oversee must no longer consider their own selfish needs.
Um... this is pure hogwash. Not voting is as legitimate as pitching on election day. Rather stay home than vote for the sake of it.
