English summary:
Madiba envisioned a united South Africa and vehemently believed that it was the only way our country could progress into the powerhouse that it has the potential to be. He believed in a leadership style that was people-centric, in leadership full of integrity and faithfulness in the use of the resources of the state (people). He believed and envisioned a South Africa where women would not be marginalized in any way, a country where men and women can be remunerated equally for doing the same job, a nation where all would be treated equally despite their race or gender and live freely. These are the ideals of Mandela-ism as Mr Tokyo Sexwale would normally put it thus this is what we are celebrating by celebrating Madiba Centenary as a Nation.
In this year we have, amongst other things, witnessed the Suspension of the commissioner of South African Revenue Services (SARS), the inquiry into Eskom and irregular expenditure by the Eskom Board, The Premier of the North West resigning from work due to duress from the people of the North West due to them being unhappy with his leadership, the President stepping down and also facing corruption charges, a cumulative and unbearable increase in fuel and food prices which has left the poor poorer and in tatters and these issues are almost entirely a consequence of lack of genuine leadership in South Africa. Without disregarding other struggle heroes, the celebration of Mandela centenary is an attempt to introspect by our leadership and see if whether the envisioned democracy in 1994 is what we have realized today or not.
