Corruption

Through ministry, particularly urban ministry, I have had much inside information on governance -- let's say the people who govern. I will say this: governance is corrupt. In my experience, I consider that one cannot speak of "ANC" governance, or "DA" governance, or any other kind of governance. In my experience, it is naive to suppose that this one is corrupt and that one is not. The reason I see for this is that corruption is endemic to our society. It is our way of going about things. It is everywhere. How will a corrupt society beget clean governance? OBSERVATION: However, this is not to overlook the very many people who are true and faithful, in governance too, to whom we owe the freedom, justice, and prosperity we do have.
