Politics all the way.

As a young South African, it has really been instilled in me just how important Democracy is but my problem is the current state the country is in. Yes we have come a long way as a nation but do we always have to look back whenever we have to compare ourselves on a international level? I am proud of my country's accomplishments but people have to stand up for more. I usually have fights with my friends about how the current government has brought retardation instead of growth or how other nations are making it while we aren't. Have you ever watched a lazy person complain of doing a basic duty? well that is how i feel about my country. In general, we have the potential to be big but our somehow diverse mentalities are keeping us down.

I sometimes feel that as South Africans, we've adopted a lifestyle unlike any other in the world. we tend to look to government for every problem we have including housing and even toilet construction. if every citizen had that ideology that Hard work pays then indeed we would be a great nation. Yes every nation has its problems but in SA, we are our worst enemies. Then there is the often exaggerated use or excuse of how Apartheid has disabled 'us', by my generation. We have been born into a wonderful and free country. When these individuals cannot account for their own actions, they blame it on the past even though they weren't there. Yes the effects are evident but its up to us to make this land an better one. The  people who have first hand experience have moved on yet some make it their daily prayer.The motion at the moment is to enable every citizen to be able to take action regardless of their background. Its a long way to go but it will be worth it.  South Africans, take action and be the change you want to see in the country. my wish is for fellow citizens to have access to the kind of information i do. #GAME_CHANGER.
