““In South Africa, we have more political parties than we have in our social crisis. Yet none of our problems are being resolved. It is because none of these people are leadership material. Different views to them mean enemies & Different opinion means betrayal. One disagreement they go and open their own party. They only want positions they don’t want to serve people. They can’t resolve conflicts, without hating, holding grudges, and pointing fingers. Its leaders without vision, goals, and policies. They just follow rumors, and their own agenda, pushing propaganda and conspiracy theories. They cause division and separation within the party, and they don’t believe in unity, because they don’t want to share power.””
