I recently listened to a podcast on the topic of morality in politics, an interesting conversation between Marianne Williamson and Dr Cornel West, and found it not only fascinating but, as always, very instructive to our own politics in South Africa.
To bring morality into politics one must ask: what does that mean? It’s clear to me that it was no accident that the ANC was founded by God-fearing people… this was a time when the spiritual and the political were clearly aligned, something so very missing in modern day South Africa, hence the moral decay into corruption, State Capture and continuing racism.

Over the past few months, the country has been gripped by the shenanigans inside the governing party. NEC meetings, I could have sworn, were as if the pope himself was to address his congregants after meeting. Speculation abounded about whether Cyril Ramaphosa or Ace Magashule would have the numbers on their side and which way the meeting would veer on this or that controversial issue.
