What South Africans must collectively demand from the government of national unity (GNU) is commitment to interventions that lift the performance of the South African economy, attract investment, significantly lower unemployment, and visibly enable much better service delivery.
What is helpful is that the GNU’s minimum programme is forward looking. It is now up to the new leadership to drive a sustained period of inclusive growth. As that happens, it is the duty of every single citizen to be insistent that the interests of South Africa are put first at all times.
Thankfully, the GNU appears, at this stage, to be intent on stepping in the right direction because there is simply no time to waste.
