According to minister Ebrahim Patel, during 2017,we lost R27bn. He repeated this statement in parliament in July 2019. Let us vote wisely in 2024. Our nation is a ship headed for an iceberg. The year 2024 is about demanding honesty, integrity and accountability from our leadership.
We must have the fortitude to make the hard decisions necessary to change course. Voting wisely, is the one key to help turn this country around.
