Instead of complaining throughout an entire article, could Moeletsi Mbeki consider some positive ways forward? (“Nationalist rule keeps SA’s economic inequalities intact (../../2021-04-07-moeletsi-mbeki-nationalist-rule-keeps-sas-economic-inequalities-intact/)”, April 7).
Persuade the “nationalists” or “privileged elite” to change, and stop blaming a century past. If intelligent voters, unhappy for years with dysfunctional government, are unable to consider an alternative choice in the hope it might be better, of course “a large proportion of the electorate has lost interest in elections and no longer bothers to vote”. Will they be resigned to their fate or violent? Will they change in a proper democratic way?..
