Is the ANC listening? Can it change? Can it accept a mea culpa, not just admitting major culpability but also fully taking on board that it is clueless when it comes to resolving the myriad issues?
It must step aside, not just from running Eskom but from all aspects where the state interfaces and interacts with business, modernity and all the drivers of wealth that are the building blocks of a modern, integrated economy.
Perhaps the ANC could still find some degree of relevance in the trappings of government, the opening of parliament and the like, but leave the actual running of the various tiers of government to those who can.
