Open Letter to the SA President

18 June 2012 By Alan

Dear Sir

What South Africa needs is set of leaders that put South Africa first.

What South Africa needs is a set of leaders so committed to South Africa that we DO NOT KNOW or even CARE what political party they represent.

South African citizens want to once again feel pride and immense love for our country.

South African citizens want to once again feel loved by their leaders.

Have the courage and conviction to address one rallying call that will unite and show South Africans that we have a higher purpose in life.

I implore you to become that great statesman.

Regards

ALAN STRATON

PS – Greater citizens than I will enter this discourse and make suggestions – mine is simple one: Spend money on education, give the youth hope and purpose and leave a lasting legacy.

PPS – the inspiration for this letter also came from greater citizens than I – see below:

@HajraOmarjee @kafflut why is it sad? I’m sure @SApresident have more important places to be, not @MyPE @AshaRanchhod @eNewsChannel

The youth of today are being robbed of their rights and future by the government of the #kleptocracy COSATU, who deny them jobs #youthday

It will be a shame to see government celebrating youth day, in this rally like manner, while kids still attend school in mud classes

June 16, 1976 students in Soweto, marched to protest the inferior education they were receiving under the apartheid government.

Amazingly, the education department still achieves the results that the apartheid government wanted for black children.

Wouldn’t it be good for an opposition politician to praise the Government – just once. They must agree on 1 thing. Vice versa applies too.
