Is it time to lose political correctness in South Africa? – News24

Not wanting to be politically correct or hiding my head in the sand, here are some facts.

The ANC was voted into power in 1994, and quite rightly so, by a hopeful black majority that had endured nearly 50 years of political and economic suppression.

They have failed miserably in their mandate from their electorate, who are leaving the part in droves.

This has left a political leadership vacuum in this country.

Neither the DA or the EFF, the next 2 strongest political parties, have the courage to confront what is happening, and lay a charge of treason against President Zuma, and his cohorts, the Gupta family. Instead, they are vying for a vote of no confidence in parliament, a vote they can clearly not win. They need to grow a pair.

But heres a thought, perhaps those in the ANC who have some vestige of moral character left, should lay those charges.

That would certainly put the proverbial cat among the pigeons and bring back moral leadership to the ANC, but I fear that too many of them have their hands dirty after a decade of looting the Treasury.

When is a political leader going to say, To hell with political correctness. The people of South Africa deserve to have leaders who act on their behalf, and not on behalf of a political system that is rampantly corrupt.

Who is that leader? Who is willing to step up to the plate, and has the moral and principled fortitude to oppose an evil system as Mandela and the ANC stalwarts did?

I suppose it might be too much to ask of the current band of so-called, political leaders, and so President Zuma will get off scot free and head off to his palace in Dubai.
