Where are the Mother Teresas in South Africa? People who are in it not for the careers or the thrill of political debate, but who genuinely want to change people’s lives for the better.
People who are not only able, but prepared to walk in someone else’s shoes, especially the poor and marginalised, the wretched of the earth.
South Africa has got the means to uplift everybody out of abject poverty. At some point, the fact that it’s not happening, somebody has to own the failure, accept the blame. The billions that are squandered, whether it be through corruption or vanity or poorly conceived projects, the failure of economic policies, or policies that are wrong to begin with, somebody has to own that.
Ego trips are not going to help the people. Genuine and implementable solutions will.
