The Reader 15 June 2024 CURTAIN ROLLED DOWN Opening Statement The loud voice of the electorate in South Africa has been heard far and beyond by multtudes of people across the globe. This voice managed to put an end to a state ruled by one politcal party once and for all. We saw enemies putng their diferences aside and engaged in uncomfortable discussions while racing against tme to meet the set deadline to form coalitons. The characters of leaders in the multparty coaliton government are going to be tested Interestng Times While the Mkhonto Wesizwe Party (MKP) and the African Transformaton Movement (ATM) amongst other politcal partes contnue to pursue their maters with the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) on allegatons of vote rigging, the citzens of South Africa will be zooming in tght on the 7th Government Administratonns performance. The tme to play politcs came to an end afer the ofce bearers (Speaker, Dep. Speaker, Premiers) and the President were elected. Therens no more tme to be wasted. High Stakes The African Natonal Congress (ANC) is not a majority ruling party anymore and is under a lot of pressure to: 1. Redeem themselves and work towards regaining total control over the regions (Gauteng, KwaZulu Natal), which they now run with other partes. 2. Become a dominant party again. 3. Convince the people of South Africa that they are the politcal party of choice. On the other hand, the stakes are high for the politcal partes who are in what I call the Multparty Coaliton instead of Government of Natonal Unity (GNU) to carry out the electoral mandate to: 1. Deliver services as promised in their manifestos. 2. Put their politcal diferences and egos aside and put South Africans frst. 3. Work even harder to unseat the ANC completely from the ruling seat. Closing Comment The excitement which we witnessed months and days building up to the 29 th May was overwhelming and it took us back to 1994, the year in which we ushered the new dawn and the new dispensaton. A lesson learned from this is that when there is amazing hype (excitement) for the upcoming electons, then one must know that the people have had enough with a party or coaliton partners in power and cannot wait to take it to the polls to change the narratve. Itns a warning. We can all agree that the electorate has a VOICE afer all which can never be ignored from today onwards. The bruised ANC can atest to this. A game of dirty politcs they played on innocent citzens for thirty (30) years while in power has not gone unnotced. The tme to be self-serving is over. This gravy train had to be stopped by people who are tred and whose needs are of utmost importance with the hope to resuscitate the economy of our country, amongst other things. The t-shirts and food parcels couldnnt stop the WILL of the South Africans. THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE CHANGES.ALL EYES ON 2026 & 2029 ELECTIONS RESPECTIVELY
