My father hasa habitof handingmebookswithan instructionratherthana recommendation. “Readthis,”he says.“Then tell me what you think.”

Theassignmentcameintwo parts: William Butler Yeats’s TheSecondComing andChinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. Nearly acentury separatesthe twoworks Yettheyask thesamequestion: what happenswhenthe ties bindinga community together beginto break?

Yeatsgaveone of themost famous linesinEnglish literature: “Things fall apart; thecentrecannothold.”Hewrote it in 1919,after WorldWar I. Societiesdonot fall only from outsideblows.Theyfall becausethe moralcentreholding them together growsweak. Achebe took that line nearly 40 years laterasthe titleofhis 1958 novel. Hismaincharacter,Okonkwo,is crushedbycolonialism.Yet Things Fall Apart also showsa society alreadycrackingbeforeEuropean rule arrives. Colonialismspeeds up thecollapse. It does notcause everycrack Societiesbecomeweakwhenthey lose theability to adaptand keep

SouthAfricaisnot afailedstate Yetthe gapbetween what theConstitutionpromisesand what people live throughishardtoignore. Servicedeliveryfailures, broken localgovernmentand fading trust have made people’s faithweaker than theinstitutionsthemselves. Governmentschange. Trustis harder to rebuild.

On Friday 24 July,the Western Cape High CourtgavePresident CyrilRamaphosa acourt order haltingParliament’simpeachment processoverthe PhalaPhala scandal.

On Monday 27 July,Ramaphosa accepted thesuddendeparture of Advocate Andrea Johnsonashead of theInvestigating Directorate againstcorruption(IDAC), theunit setuptochase complexcorruption cases. Johnsonsaidshe facedwhat shecalledunprecedented attacks on heroffice.The Presidentholds up theprocess meanttoholdhim accountable.

Former presidentJacob Zuma, nowleading theuMkhontoweSizweParty,spent thelastweek of July tightening hisgriponthe party. He scrappedhis presidential task team,took away hissecretary-general’s powers andremoved everyparty official’s access to the party’sbankaccounts Zuma stillowesthe stateabout R29million in legalfees andis fighting to keep histax records hidden.His partymembers in the KwaZulu-Natallegislature face claims of faking medicalreports to getstate-paiddrivers He holdsloyalty throughforce of personalityand anger.

Communities last because people believethe rulesare worth following,evenwhenfollowing them is hard.Whenthatbelief

fades, thefallisnot sudden. It showsinlowered hopes, accepted failureand cynicism.Peoplestop seekingaccountability because they no longer believeitpossible. This maybewhatYeats meant by “the ceremony of innocence” Notinnocenceasfoolishness, but thehabitsand values that show asociety stillcares aboutjustice, accountability anddutytoothers. Once thosehabitslosemeaning, building them againisfar harder than keepingthem.

When I firstspoke to my father aboutYeats andAchebe, their images felt farawayand their warnings seemed hollow. Time has made them feel less like oldtexts andmorelikemirrors of today.

ThequestionYeats leaves is not whetherthingscan fall apart. They always can.
