 South Africa’s fragile democracy has reached a crossroads. In the face of
mounting social and economic challenges such as crime, poverty, hunger,
unemployment and the highest inequality in the world, we cannot continue
down the same paths that brought us here. We have been rudderless as a
country. A nation adrift like a ship at sea with no direction or impetus to
move. We find ourselves waiting. Each looking in the distance for some
messianic other to rescue us. The politics of the day and the leaders it has
produced look as tired and helpless as we feel.
