Esidimeni Bloody 3 do not care about the people of Gauteng
15 April 2019
Today I led a picket outside the Premier’s Office to remember the victims of the avoidable Esidimeni tragedy and to ensure that vulnerable South Africans are given the dignity they deserve, and the families of the victims are given justice
At its core, good Government should do at least three things - build structures that allow business to flourish and jobs to be available, provide infrastructure so people and goods can move from place to place, and finally, protect the vulnerable and the poor.
The ANC has failed on all three accounts. Corruption has killed jobs and efficient service delivery, and the Esidimeni tragedy shows us that the ANC, once again, puts its own interests before the interests of the Nation.
There is no better example of ANC corruption than Esidimeni. It is hard to imagine the party of Nelson Mandela becoming a criminal syndicate that will kill people in order to provide their own with tenders. But it is fact, and Esidimeni is the proof.
