Thanks for the moment I got to offer my opinions to
the constitutional talk.
I have got this as my suggestion which I propose
should be looked into in the new constitution. This concerns the formation of a
legislation that shall binds all parents in their children's education. It has
been proved beyond doubt that parents are not involved
in the education of their
children. They don't even border about any progress or problems encountered by
their children at schools
as they hope teachers should be the only body to see
what to do about them. As such I suggest that let the new constitution make
provision for law which would urge parents to force or to encourage their
children to attend schools and to do as expected. this
will in my opinion
eliminate the ever increasing crimes as I think this is done by children
belonging to ignorant parents.
Secondly, I appeal to the government not
to overlook the question of witchcraft which is sweeping away lives of many
people. the government
should admit that South Africa is a multicultural country
with different traditions. The fact that witchcraft exists is inevitable,
it is
really there. What I suggest is that the government should not just discourage
all evils done to a suspect, but should come
with a mechanism on what should be
the next step to be taken to a person who is said to be a witch may-be after it
has be traditionally
proved beyond doubt that such a person is a
witch.
Thirdly, I would like to caution the government of national unity
which I regard as legitimate that economically we say, man's wants
are limitless
whereas the means to satisfy them are limited. This is to say there is in no
way that the government could do to satisfy
all our wants, as such the only
satisfaction that we want is the equitable distribution of the national income.
People are complaining
about disparity in incomes which appears to be a problem
in all sectors of the South African economy. As such I appeal to this new
constitution not to overlook this issue because people may lose confidence in
this government.
Lastly, I propose that our government should start to
encourage decentralisation of industries as it is the only way of curbing
urbanisation
which brings about over population/over crowding leading to high
crime rate. In my opinion I suggest that the RDP should start from
rural areas
in full force thereby creating job opportunities. In this way people would
prefer to work near their homes and avoid
this unnecessary over
concentration.
Hoping that my opinions shall reach your
consideration.
