A message to all the permanent or temporal residents of South Africa.
A decade to democracy still we aren't free
Years of struggle to become where we are today but still we are struggling to be part of this nation
This is not one of those favoured speeches made by those who like pleasing the masses
My life depends on the rights practised in this democracy, we are desperate for a change
We are desperate for a difference, from oppression to depression, we are no longer free in this nation
The words that follow will explain my concern regaring the minds of South Africans
The government has failed us all, today we mourn the loss of a friend.
A young girl, a child, a lover and she has no future in life in this world again.
When we voted, we voted for crime and violence, we voted for sorrow and pain.
We are certain that whoever killed her has been arrested before.
Criminals have more rights that you do, they sleep and watch tv's all day and night
While you work, to find your home burglared, worse, your children raped and murdered.
This government does not serve us but subject us to slaverly and suffering.
In broad day light we are afraid of criminils, murders and rappists.
Look at the headlines, how many children get rapped a day?
A disabled child was gang rapped by five men recently and we have a government.
What do we get from this current government, what are we waiting for?
For more people to be killed, for more children to be rapped and murdered?
Who have not be mugged in South Africa? who's house have not be burglared?
You South African's promote violence, you keep silent, you keep quiet
We are all the same, what difference is there that we are making?
The police are not helping us, education has failed, hospitals do not help us.
How many times have you heard the leaders, reshaping, renaming education policies
When will we get going, go forward, have a progress in this country?
We standing on sinking boat if I may say, this whole nation is filled with hunger for love
for peace, for unity, for knowledge, for health, for work, for freedom.
Am I free? Who has the ability to answer that difficult question?
We can no longer blame the past, blame the while leaded government for our failure
Every year we pay taxes, millions to billions of Rands, we can no longer complain
We have the means to rectify, to change, to improve but no we are destroying the
Only resources left from the foundation built by your oppressors
Infrastructure failing, the roads, water and sanitation, energy and communication.
For that I can say, this government has failed and we will vote again
For the same promises, for the same crimes, for same causes, for the same violence.
We will vote for Government employees to be dismissed on grounds of no confidence than work they do.
We will vote again for people to provide us with leaders filled with corrupt minds and ideas.
I am in sorrow, I am in pain, I am in loss, my friends in education are hopeless.
My colleges at work are in constant fear, of being victimised by this government.
Law does no longer protect us, law does no longer serve to help us bring peace.
What happened to "Together United We Can Stand"?
I am losing my dignity as a citizen of South Africa, I am losing my passion as a youth of this nation.
Mandela spend 29 years to help us shape this nation and currently, five years is enough for any leader
to mess up, what the likes of Sisulu, Mandela, Mbeki, Biko and other brave passionate soldiers of South Africa worked for. Is this my country? Is this my South Africa? Is this my beloved land?
The question is, do we have a government that qualifies to be called a government.
So many have been lost already, maybe tomorrow will be one from your family
When we will stop living in fear?
