There are many areas of concern that I can think of, chief among them being the electoral system. We can’t have around 60 million people depending on ANC branches deciding who our president should be.
That is a huge mistake on something that can make or brake the country. The education system must be fully overviewed including rules pertaining to sexual promiscuity that has seen thousands of pupils falling pregnant.
What kind of disciplinary methods should be applied to enforce compliant behaviour. Schools should not be under the control of unions. Healthcare should be revitalised with the training of nurses wholly under the control of the South African Nursing Act and the South African Nursing Council.
No political interference should be allowed. Cadre deployment with all its destructive policies should be abolished. People should be employed based on merit.
Experience must be considered when hiring new employees, employment equity should be the rule. SOEs have suffered terribly due to cadre deployment, leading to the death of many vital services, vandalised railway lines with almost no train services.
The list is endless. Open borders with uncontrolled influx of illegal immigrants must stop, including Zama-Zamas. Out of control crime rates of all kinds. Weak law-enforcement agencies and the justice system.
So the best way to rid South Africans of the pain they have suffered for 29 years under the constitution is to do a thorough examination of it, step by step to identify all the areas that have brought us immense suffering and make amendments that will restore stability and economic growth.
