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.
