The centrality of South Africa's deepening political and economic crisis lies in its lack of leadership. An absence of performance of leadership obligations prevails, exacerbating the social lives of many more people forced to live under unspeakable conditions.
Lack of leadership and its endless deleterious impact on the country was implicitly the catalyst for prominent ANC member Jackson Mthembu to courageously speak out. He said that top party leaders should step down. In his view, the public has lost confidence in the ANC "because of factional behaviour [and] because of arrogance . . . " Arrogance decidedly personified, and driven by Faustian myopic, selfish and doctrinarian collectivism.
Those singled out by Mthembu must heed his call, as they clearly lack the traits of good leadership. What they do have in common are one or more traits of naïveté, lack of vision, incompetence, opportunism and parasitism. They have compromised millions of people who are suffering for no reason other than the appalling choices of these so-called leaders.
