A Promising Start, Mr Lesufi
Dear Mr Lesufi
If i read the reports correctly, you have gathered around you a sort of Manchester United of provincial government. Ms Mokonyane of grocery list fame and others who have made their indelible mark on the playing fields of ethical, competent leadership. Also, apparently on the pages of various newspapers. With such a team, who could lose?
Then there's that calm, restrained demeanour that you brought to your education job. You hunted racism in schools as Saint George was said to have hunted the dragon. You made the ringing declaration that you will never apologize to racists, nor bow down to right wingers. Stirring stuff.
You seem to have kicked off in like calm, restrained, dignified fashion. This might have been my fevered imagination, following the euphoria that resulted from the news of your appointment. I thought that I read about an accusation from you that the media are out to destroy the ANC. Where is your faith, sir? The ANC is perfectly capable of doing that itself. No media help required.
Yours in the struggle to make and keep memorable promises.
