“Each generation is responsible for its own era” goes the saying. That is why history takes a new turn every twenty to thirty years. It is the year 2024 – thirty years after South Africa’s previous turning point. So, it is that time again. This turning point should be positive and mark the beginning of building a better dispensation.

What South Africa really needs is more than just a better government, it needs a better dispensation. At present, the country is suffering due to the destruction caused by political centralisation, economic over-regulation and environmental damage. These are the consequences of the ANC’s failed policy directions, in particular, the National Democratic Revolution (NDR).

Cadres are appointed in key positions because they are loyal to the ANC, not because they possess the skills needed to do the job properly. Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) keeps empowering the same small, elite group of people while the masses have to rely on social grants.

Tenders to build houses, roads, hospitals, etc. are not awarded to the company that will offer the best quality and value for money, but to already empowered individuals.

An entire state has been looted to the point of bankruptcy, while the majority of its population is impoverished, and infrastructure and service delivery collapse.

South Africa is currently also one of the most unsafe countries with the second highest murder rate in the world.

It will take years of hard work to undo the ANC’s thirty-year legacy of corruption, mismanagement and decline.

The ANC can surely be defeated in 2024, but what will a reality without the ANC look like? It could be worse if the right policy directions are not followed. The right policy directions ought to recognise the country’s diversity and utilise it as an asset. That is the FF Plus’s unique premise.

The FF Plus is calling on all voters to turn up in droves on voting day so that we can start restoring and rebuilding!
