SO THE ELECTIONS HAVE COME AND GONE AND MAYBE A FEW SURPRISES HERE AND THERE BUT ULTIMATELY THE RESULT THAT MOST OF US WERE EXPECTING.
THE RULING PARTY HAS DONE IT AGAIN, AND PULLED OFF THE LAND SLIDE VICTORY, ONCE AGAIN THEY CAME OUT ON TOP BUT THE QUESTION I ASK IS WERE THESE ELECTIONS ALL ABOUT WHICH PARTY CAN COME OUT ON TOP, WHICH PARTY IS ABLE TO GET THE MOST VOTES AND HAVE SUPREMACY OVER THEIR COMPETITORS WHILE GOVERNING A CERTAIN AREA OF OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE?
YESTERDAY MANY PEOPLE WENT TO THE VOTING STATIONS AND VOTED FOR THEIR FAVORITE PARTIES, HOPING THAT THEY WOULD COME OUT VICTORIOUS.
THE QUESTION I ASK IS, DO ANY OF THOSE THAT VOTED YESTERDAY, HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE CANDIDATES THAT THEY WERE VOTING FOR, MEANING TO YOU KNOW THEIR BACKGROUND, WHERE THEY COME FROM, WHERE ARE THEY GOING AND WHAT DO THEY STAND FOR?
WE ARE EXPECTED TO VOTE FOR A CERTAIN PARTY ALL GOOD AND WELL BUT THE INDIVIDUAL THAT IS NOMINATED TO RUN THAT AREA WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.
HOW DO WE THE PEOPLE KNOW IF THAT CANDIDATE WAS CHOSEN ON PURE MERIT TO BE THERE, DO THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE CREDENTIALS AND REQUIRED EDUCATION, TO DO THE JOB, DO THEY HAVE A PLAN OF ACTION AND IF THEY FAIL DO THEY HAVE A CONTINGENCY PLAN, SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON.
HOW DO WE KNOW IF THEY ARE PUTTING US FIRST AND NOT JUST IN IT FOR THE MONEY?
WE NEED TO HAVE ALL CANDIDATES FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT PARTIES TO GET TOGETHER AND HAVE THEM ANSWER VARIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THEY INTEND IN TAKING THE VARIOUS COMMUNITIES FORWARD, PUT THEM ON SA'S LARGEST MEDIA MEDIUM, BEING TELEVISION,
PUT THEM LIVE, SO THAT THE WHOLE COUNTRY CAN HEAR THEIR VIEWS AND THAN WE CAN DECIDE IS THAT REALLY THE PERSON THAT WE WANT TO PUT IN POWER, WE NEED TRANSPARENCY, WE NEED ALL PARTIES TO PLAY OPEN CARDS WITH US BUT INSTEAD THEY ALL HIDING THEIR CARDS FROM US, NO ONE BETTER THAN THE OTHER.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GO OUT AND VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE THAT I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.
WE ALL TALK ABOUT THE TIME FOR CHANGE HAS COME BUT THE CHANGE THAT WE NEED IS THAT OF PARTIES BEING OPEN AND HONEST BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY PUTTING THE PEOPLE FIRST, ALL THE PEOPLE NOT THE SELECT CHOSEN FEW.
YES LETS ALL WORK TOGETHER TO DO MORE FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR COUNTRY AND ALL ITS PEOPLE AND NOT FOR THE POCKETS OF CERTAIN POWERFUL INDIVIDUALS.
