We must address South Africa's historical wrongs, find solutions
The Mercury
|July 04, 2025
IT BAFFLES the mind how South Africans can easily forget the history of our country and would grab at any opportunity to make things work, at huge cost to the taxpayer.
-
The intended national dialogue of President Ramaphosa is a case in point when he knows the promise they've made to create a 'better life for all' has been empty. The proposed dialogue itself tells us that it has been a bitter life for the majority of South Africans, while the offspring of the colonial invaders and apartheid beneficiaries are still basking in the sun.
If we are really serious about turning this country around, we need to do first things first. As a co-founder of the Foundation Nation Restoration (FNR), we have embarked on a journey known as the 5Rs - Repentance, Restoration, Reconciliation, Restitution and Revival.
We need to acknowledge the wrongs that have been done in the past and repent before we can do anything else, otherwise we will be wasting valuable time and money.
