Okay, clearly we've seen nepotism abounds in public organizations, and is not limited to one community. A correction of this malaise in 2012 will only occur first, if we become tolerant of each other, and secondly, if we vote in someone who doesn't have a tribalism cologne. Otherwise it will be the fourth time the baton has been passed on.
The good news is, though we are quick to see the wrong side of the MK's regime, let's applaud the good that has come out of it. With the new constitution, such appointments will be confined to history. We've seen commissions and panels set up to nominate key personnel based on merit, some which have been broadcast live for our following. So, we need to appreciate that merit, not nepotism, will dictate appointments to key sectors, institutions and installations in the future.
That should be something worth celebrating. The makers of the constitution saw how political appointments can polarize our country. Now all we need to do is to look at the future, and be happy that we are part of the history that brought down the scourge of nepotism.
