On Political Analysis Prof Sinwell looks at what the different parties are offering the people and whether this is really what the people want. His articles highlight how the parties seemed to have misread the South African community hence the juncture that we find ourselves in. Pro Sinwell says “the assumption that because people voted, their voices have been heard is a shortsighted and dangerous terrain for those who seek fundamental social change. What is required is a deeper, more robust democracy, not one where people vote every five years and then sit back in the hope that the new configuration of power within parliament will hand us down some crumbs to make our lives slightly better”. So, what do the masses want? What message did the masses send in this year’s elections? Do they still want the ANC in power?
