Considering the vast expanse and influence of the Commonwealth, that 6th commemorative stamp emphasis the value placed on high moral leadership.
That image is also a tribute to Africa and the example set by South Africa; celebrating the era when the ANC had a leader who held the moral high ground to defeat apartheid; to unite all South Africans, to establish South Africa as a leader in Africa, to transport us back into the international community and to place us on the road to prosperity.
He achieved this without ever relinquishing his attachment or loyalties to his African heritage. He was deeply aware of the incredible potential that every child has if well cared for, and that early childhood education is where upliftment commences; selfishly devoting his time and his own resources to foster this imperative.
Within a decade the ANC’s current leader has successfully divided the country and steered it back to apartheid perpetuating the fallacy that skin colour, and not behaviour, is the hallmark of a person’s worth and wealth. He has further divided the country by leading ‘our people’ to believe their votes will be rewarded with bounty – which the EFF warns might cost lives. He ushered in a culture of deceit and corruption by way of example, showing that it is OK to abuse positions of trust and to defy laws with impunity provided that you admit to nothing, disappear into the shadows, create delays and confusion or hide behind others. Moral decay affects family life and seeps into society where it is extremely difficult to contain. Chaos, xenophobia, crime and rape flourish while the Rand goes the way of the Zim dollar.
