Have the serenity of a true citizen

I speak to you as a person in any situation and any place.

Its sad how our democracy hasn’t realized that it has passed its teenage years.

Our democracy has become this feeble and fabricated fallacy that fails to feed those who fought for our freedom, with a ‘leader’ who is just around for fans and fame and forgets apartheid has not yet been forgiven.

Then you find us singing and shouting that the “power is ours” when we consciously know its not.

I pray each day for our society not to live in comfort, I pray that we all soon realize that we serve a God of equality and I pray that soon we may find peace with our broken pieces.

I pray this because I know that we are acquainted with so much wisdom and knowledge.

I pray this because I no longer want to see these challenges that constantly divide and disconnect us from ultimately being one and united.

Only then shall South African women be brave enough to be billionaires and also have their “aha” moment.

Perhaps even then we can pursue to be wealthy human beings and not just rich materialists.

Not to say our expectations should be greater than our realization, yet when a door of opportunity opens we will have to stop subscribing to socially conservative views because often when we do so we undermine our own existence as citizens of this country.

It’s time that South Africans become the change we want to see in this world.

We have not achieved 20 fabulous years of democracy to be feeble minded individuals yet at the same time alarmed citizens whom want to see change.
