What a promising statement, as SA we need leaders who are selfless, leaders who put people's first. This is what we expect in this 5 years. Let bygone be bygone, we are all SA, let's accommodate each other in love. We pray for the peace and the prosperity of our beautiful country. Wonderful peach. ❤

[@bevturner2258]

This government has been in power for 30 years and you’re happy they’re still in charge? Look at what the ANC has done, and nothing is going to change. They’re still in control. They have 20 of the 32 Cabinet positions. They control 60% of an incompetent government and yet they only got 40% of the vote.

'If you want to go fast go alone and if you want to go far, come-on join the wagon to build revive our economy together instead of wasting time on criticism, mourning and groening. Ask what you can do for your country not what the government can do for you... Abraham Lincoln. Paraphrasing that quote.Thanks Honorable Minister for these words which inspire new hope.
