There is something interesting about South Africans and that is how irrational we can be. We are currently upset at the amount of money our President spent on security upgrades in Nkandla, but honestly, how could, he not when he is on top of most of our hit list, how could he not when he knows how our blood boils when we see his face or even hear of him. How could we not when we openly showed how we detest him in front of the world during Nelson Mandela’s memorial. Our President fears his people. How can he not fear us when he has wronged us so many times, we should however remember that it’s not only South Africans our President fears, with his associations with all the Mafias you can think of and God knows who else in the underworld, it is not surprising that our President needs security tighter than one you would need in prison that hosts very dangerous criminals. This is rather a sad case because he has escaped prison only to imprison himself.
Another form of irrationality comes when people want to vote for Julius Malema, have we forgotten what he and his friend Cassel Mathale did in Limpopo? How can we say we are tired of corruption and yet feel the need to endorse corrupt people? Did we not learn anything on the repercussions of being led by people with questionable integrity? We allowed a President who was acquitted of rape and corruption to lead us, how has that translated into the levels of rape and corruption statistics? What we actually should be saying is that people with tainted image should not be allowed to run for Presidency or any role, the same way we do references and refchecks in organizations, people who intend to lead the country should be vetted more rigorously…
