2016 Altered the face of the Nation Baqokiwe Omeya abasha

It was an election that altered the face of the nation. t was a loud and crazy election which reaffirmed democracy, but it took place in the shadow of death. As many as 20 councillors and campaigners died in this election, a terrifying statistic which deserves some serious attention. Surely democracy should not exact such a price?

What this election did was to finally find the missing piece of the democratic puzzle — political competition. It is now clear that South Africans are prepared to “chuck out the bums”, as the Americans say, when they think their elected officials are failing them. The genie is out of the bottle. The old habit of placing the party above all else has begun to melt in the heat of accountability. What comes next will define this country. The ANC has two short years to turn the tide. Will it finally act to remove the man who has defined ruling party arrogance and who does not respect the constitution, Jacob Zuma? Also in the wings is the start of a whole new way of governing at local level as several major cities will be ruled by coalitions. Will the politics of negotiation bring new energy to civic affairs or will it lead, Italian-style, to administrative inertia and further decay? It's a cliche, but it really does “remain to be seen”.
