Retribution politics

Mandy Rittmann
SAPIENS WRITES:

After thirty years of broken promises, corruption, and incompetence, the South African electorate has given the ANC a wake-up call!

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The result is flat economic growth, massive unemployment, and stunting of children. State-owned enterprises collapsed or became dysfunctional: South African Airways, Prasa, TransNet and harbours, Eskom (load shedding), Denel, etc.

Potholes on tar roads are a symptom of a lack of preventative maintenance in and between towns, and massive trucks reduce the lifespan of roads.

The Guptas have fled to Dubai with their loot – Aluta Continua, the looting continues!

The poor masses no longer believe in fairy tales. They want jobs, food, and housing. The honeymoon, or liberation, is over.

Zuma (MKP), like Trump, has made a revenge comeback with Malema (EFF), both ex-ANC’s!

Remember, we all share this place; we all belong, so let’s get along for the common good.

A better future lies in coalition politics based on merit, pragmatism, and honesty. Yes, together we can compromise.

Namibia is doing better than Big Brother. The Fishrot scandal should be sorted out in the courts by November 2024, our election month.

Team (together everybody achieves more) Namibia is a win-win concept. Let us live the spirit of Ubuntu/Harambee by the grace of God, the mercy of Jesus Christ, and the blessing of the Holy Spirit.
