I remember well the celebrations depicted on TV by the SABC on the day of the first elections 30 years ago — the dancing and jubilations of the ANC top echelon.
Foremost among them was Angie Motshekga, for so many years SA’s basic education minister. Her words: “Now we are going to be filthy rich!” portended the disastrous years of greed and theft that followed.
I can only hope and pray that the born-free population will decisively put an end to this sorry state of affairs.
