But why though? Our very own leaders of South Africa the people we think we know to be our very own, are no stranger to the public and the world. They are respected by many who understand their vexing dance moves and cappella songs those who are still bewildered like myself about whether these moves represent themselves or anything else… I always wonder whether these “Leaders’’ spare a moment to think about the people or are they occasionally thinking about ‘’their people”’(Families) I don’t mean to sound offline but the way I see things with concern and disappointment, personally think these people don’t ever think about our basic needs. E.g. Mr President unduly benefited from the upgrades of his home in Nkandla where do I fit in and how do I benefit from this?
Every one young and old even toddlers have seen and heard how the Nkandla report that tore the place we could all call our second sacred place :Parliament. After I witnessed the SONA 2015 South African Nation Address with traumatic flashes I think Parliament needs a cleansing ritual and the highest age restriction. (PG).
I felt like my forefathers wasted their energy and oxygen in fighting for freedom that was suppose to not only lead and guide but also teach generations about the struggles of the legacy and the people that brought it momentum and adrenaline.

Most of these so called leaders from the oppositions and the very own
Mighty Power ANC are in conflict with each other moaning and mumbling about who
is suited to be in certain positions yet they say we are their first priority I
think we are fooled…”’ President Jacob Zuma is
a thief and he must pay back the money” yet the very same people who iterate
these words were once upon a time members and colleagues of this person and his
Party that is poked with names. This very same party groomed them to be the politicians they are
today.
The ironic part about this big hoohar made about “Bring back the
money’’ is said aloud by the people who were once upon a time part of the
family tree one particular example is Julius Malema he as far as I can remember
was an ANC member and the President of the ANC youth League until he also had
to pay back the money and is still faced with all sorts of charges and wassuspended in April 2012 and had to slow down from the fast lane he was on, yet
today he and many others stand in solidarity fighting for the rights of the
poor of South Africa. I am confused who are the true leaders... As a Public Relations thought leader I think that hope is not lost with in the Parties of the leaders but the leadership styles need to be refreshed.
I believe that when you are a leader, you are someone that others should look up to. if a leader fails to lead us well what are we suppose to learn from that? and what do we call a person who is unable to lead people yet called a leader?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with you a leader is someone who leads his people but if the leader doesn't have good leadership skills then they are not a leader then we the ones who put him in power have the right to remove him because he does do his job as he should. No, if you can't manage yourself you cant lead a nation then you cant be called a leader.

ReplyDeleteI truly agree, many people do not deserve the titles they own.
ReplyDeleteoh, yes because they aren't treating their titles with respect and honou, thanks again for the comment.
Deletefirstly, that is an awesome caption there "Jacob Zuma doing what he does best, dancing'', leadership should be based solely on discipline and leading by example. it is a disgrace to see the things we see on parliament now, an absolute insult to our fallen leaders.
ReplyDeletefirstly thank you for the compliment. and yes, i agree with you the manner in which our ''leaders'' behave themselves is not only unacceptable but a shock to the world and a slap in the face of our fallen leaders.
Deletetruth must be told, the president doesn't lead by example he just lacks the requirement of being a leader. Mr Mandela was a good leader and i doubt he'll like whats happening in parliament, i feel like he fought for nothing, all he wanted was peace and good leader to lead South Africa but non of this happening.
ReplyDeletethank you for your comment. not the President only all these political parties have some form of bad leadership skills that need serious mending. Mr Mandela and all the fallen leaders would and are so dissapointed by the situation and the manner its resolved in this country
DeleteCan we really blame President Zuma? I mean there is no set amount for the upgrades of the presidents home, no one can really say exactly how much President Zuma was entitled.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. no one said Zuma is to blame I am speaking about leadership in this country Mr president included and other Parties leaders, and i have to dispute what you just said because there is millions of Rands on the upgrades of his home and lets not forget according to the reported he and his family undully benefited what does that tell you???

ReplyDeleteLooking into leadership in our country can we also blame ourselves for voting for these people and placing them in the seat of power because as much as we can blame them for having poor leadership skills, what have we done to change this error we have made as citizens from your own Public relations perspective?

ReplyDeletenice post Esther,our country is full of crimes. the house in Nkandla i don't see any problem in him having that big house my only problem is his neighbors where they have small poor houses there. zuma should have tried to build those people houses. as for you not benefiting i don't agree with you because nsfas is still paying for your fees and other people are still getting their children grant. am not saying what zuma did is right he used the state money to build his houses which is wrong.
ReplyDeleteThank you and thank you for your comment I don't dispute what you are saying my concern about the whole issue is not just nkandla but all the other people as well e.g. Julius Malema or Juju if you may, all these people and more of them aren't setting a good example of any form of leadership Mr President is a 'leader'' of this country and he must lead like a true leader look at the issue in Parliment SONA 2015 to be exact when the was a big horah made he sat there like a hot potato and never reacted to anything instead he LAUGHED.. where is the leadership skill ?????
Deletei think jacob zuma saw the opportunity of making his dream real and went for it without considering who get affected by this or what i'm so afraid to see what will happen to this country after 10 year. we are facing so much social issue and yet he decide to build his own house with the money that can help the country too be in good shape ..... my question is what does it mean to be a president?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your compliment. he definitely made his dream real at the expense of others' he got that right.I'm also as worried as you are the manner in which situations are resolved is so unmanageable. I think we should all ask Mr President this question.
