I have this enduring wish that political leaders should be humble to listen to strange voices even if these voices say things that they don& #39;t want to hear. The pathway to truth and social justice may be revealed if they just pay attention. https://twitter.com/MABENGI1/status/1254294079330009090">https://twitter.com/MABENGI1/...

I& #39;m deeply pained that my government steadfastly ignored my well argued advice that building a capable state machinery for delivery of social services was the single most compelling obligation and responsibility post 1994 to counter the apartheid legacy.

I have co sisyentlyade this call since 2009. This is the central theme of my book Fit for Purpose. Covid-19 would have found us better structured to manage its impact. Think of Health; Education; land use planning; informal settlements; Munics etc

They are now hurriedly, and with doubtful planning, trying to provide water to these settlements. In such circumstances es, I can assure you, accountability will be compromised. We shall be dealing with horrible stories of rent-seeking soon
