SA Rocks

There is no comparison.

Mandela is a different person from a different time who called for a different following to achieve different goals. The closest these two come to one another is the tone of their skin color.

End.

Finally the USA can once again be looked at with a little less disdain. Obama wins. The first African-American President, back to Democratic, liberal and young leadership.

This man move and inspires me and my belief in leadership.

In fact I don’t think it’s Obama that moves me, I think it is his supporters who move me. They are united, unified and joined by the desire to make their nation a better place. They are not united against Bush (that is negative action), they are united in favour of the better candidate who they believe can change their situation and better their country in the face of two decades of destruction from two families (Clinton and Bush) of power.

But tell me, who is this person in SA? I have asked this before and will continue to ask until that person rouses themselves from slumber and takes on the future of this nation. Who is going to let me support them with everything I have? With my heart, with my head, my soul, my belief, with everything?

The video above and the one to follow inspire me to want to gather up everyone I can and make an inspirational video for SA. But who for? Who are we supporting?

Helen Zille is the opposition, not the first choice. She isn’t really even a suitable opposition representing our future, not in my opinion. She is simply the opposition. She is not a leader who can challenge Zuma, Mbeki or anyone else.

I am purely speaking now about candidates, individuals, people who can move me to take a stand. It’s hard work standing alone but not if you are standing for and behind someone you know in your heart can make a change. Mandela was that person but his legacy is over and his dreams are being overshadowed by others who are seemingly misled. We need change and we need a catalyst.

Who is this leader to be?
