Reinier Matthee: “I have a dream for SA in 2017…”

By Reinier Matthee*

  • South Africans will re-learn the art of building healthy relationships, i.e. relationships based on mutual trust and respect for one another,
  • The notion of “freedom for all” will be adequately balanced with the need for “accountability and responsibility for all”,
  • Both private and public leaders will actively pursue wisdom, i.e. displaying sound judgement, and remaining objective in their consideration of matters at hand,
  • Individuals will be less selfish, and be more focused on also serving the best interest of those that need their support,
  • Business and Sport-teams will learn to work hard at developing and maintaining unity,
  • Sport fans (especially the Springbok supporters) will be less negative and emotional when a test is being lost against a worthy opponent, and
  • Parents will take up their responsibility to raise “championship” kids, i.e. kids with a healthy character and the ability to say “no” to bad influences and group pressure.
