SA appears to have absent leadership at a time when it’s needed the most. There’s a myriad of challenges facing the nation, and no one seems to care. The high crime r.ate is extremely scary; to add to that, there are revelations our police and other state security units are malfunctioning because of corruption.

There is a failure to combat illegal mining, which badly affects surrounding communities through crime and infrastructure decay. The challenge of illegal immigration points out that it can blow up because of the simmering tensions between citizens and migrants.
