Manage episode 325448123 series 3102443
People in South Africa have lost trust with the current political party of the ANC i.e. African National Congress and the community of Tumelo Squatter camp expresses their discontent and dissatisfaction on poor services delivery and corruption of the ANC. This opinion is expressed by both grandpa Gadla Mpuhla and his community. These are political sentiments echoed by this poor community that has never enjoyed any benefits of services delivery since 1994. There are no houses built, no street and toilets even a school. Children have to walk a kilometer to the nearest township to find a school.
"If Parliament and politicians fail to honor their duties we the citizens have the right to fire them and employ effective alternative competent servants to deliver our mandate. My impression is that South Africans never question the integrity of politicians – it’s a case of “reshuffle the cabinet” “loot and amass and to screw the public”. As long as this charade continues, taxpayers and innocent citizens will become victims of circumstances.
Citizens have the obligation to bring government to account or change the ruling party via an effective incorruptible new voting system. Worst case scenarios let each community in every province raise funds to register its own political party. I personally don’t care how many parties we can have in parliament as long as they can oust the current ruling majority, and begin to deliver services to us.
It should be borne in the mind of every citizen to know that government does not know how to manufacture wealth or create jobs on their own accord. They absorb resources from private business. Where would they collect taxes from if there were no businesses, corporations, and a working class of loyal individuals who pay tax?" This is how each one of these people in the community feels.
