So the ANC(sleeze) look set for a two thirds majority, something I hoped would not happen. At least it looks like their majority will be down, which is great, it shows there is a turn in the tide however small. The voting predictably was along racial lines which is unfortunate but understandable given our apartheid past. It would seem though that we have merely swopped one party of racial despots for another. Sad given the ANC's most admirable past as struggle movement. It has evolved into something for less laudable though, just as greedy, unjust & racist as the regime it's replaced! But hey, there's always hope, and this reduced majority could be the start of the 'post revolution revolution', I hope so...
Or should it be change with time? Sometimes I feel we get the two confused... I think we should live true according to our heart's knowledge of what's right, strive to live that way despite the hardship that may at times arise and in that way, as the cliche goes we can be the change we want to see in the world!!!
