Voice of the Nation

Many South Africans until this day they have no voice in their mother land. Some try to shout louder with the hope that someone might look with care but no body cares. Some try to persist with the mentality that as time pass by their voices will be hear, but their persistence bring forth nothing. And they are still not heard until this day. This are unprivileged South African who struggle who are struggling to survive daily. South Africans who forgot the joy of living because of the pains that comes with the reality they face daily. If South Africans were not deprived the privilege of giving their lives a meaning, poverty could be a stranger by now.

After 23 years of democracy many South Africans still can't define democracy. Because you can't define what you haven't experienced. All they know is inequality, injustice, poverty, mind control and manipulation. We are in this circumstance not because we can't help ourselves, just because we have elected political leaders who have decide to steal from us the privilege of have opportunities to better our lives. This are leaders who are carrying their own best interest. As I always say that; Leadership is not a career, but it's a calling that comes with great responsibilities.

South Africans must decide to have a voice is their mother land. We must also taste the sweetness of the fruits of our mother land. The sweetness we have only perceived while others enjoying it. But too many of us is just a dream, a dream that might not come through if we are waiting for those who are enjoying the sweetness of the wealth to pity us. A dream that we must fight to live. We fellow South Africans we must stop blaming others, but we must mostly blame ourselves. We always vote for the rich and famous people to represent us. We are poor but we shouldn't be dumb. These people we chose don't really care about us, all they want is to use us as stepping stones, I guess that's the curse of being poor, everyone wants to use us. We only see these rich and famous politicians doing door to door during elections. All they want is our votes, their tickets to be wealthier.

As poor South Africans we must now make sure our voice is heard. We must make sure that we oppose anything that suffocates of voice. We must unite and stand together as one voice for a genuine change in our nation. Without any fear! What will they do to us?. Beside they have tortured and killed us the moment they decide that the wealth of our country should rotate around their families and friends circle. That's when they killed our dreams and hopes that came along with 1994 national elections.

Because we are poor they think we can't represent ourselves, we can't stand for anything, we can't achieve anything. That's were they are wrong. We might not have all they have but we can't be foolish and ignorant forever. It's time we also have a voice in our country. It's also our country after all or is there anyone who have the title deed of this country with his or her name on it, if that's the case is best we know. But if not then we must also have a voice, not just a voice but a voice that will govern this beautiful and blessed country. We will meet them on the battle field in 2019 national elections. Let me leave this bible verse here; "When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan." Proverbs 29:2.
