South Africa's GNU Matrimony Exposed: A Vulture Nation Unveiled

By Pali Lehohla

The illusion of unity within South Africa's Government of National Unity (GNU) has been shattered, revealing a disturbing reality – the emergence of a "vulture nation" as ominously predicted in the Indlulamithi Scenarios. The catalyst for this rude awakening was as unexpected as it was telling: Value Added Tax (VAT).

The VAT issue, seemingly mundane, acted as a potent polarizer, exposing the deeply entrenched culture of indifference and self-interest that pervades the nation's leadership. The alignments formed in response to this issue laid bare the uncaring nature of those in power, confirming fears of a society where the few prosper at the expense of the many.

This watershed moment underscores the critical importance of a robust and independent media. Now, more than ever, South Africans must support journalistic institutions dedicated to uncovering the truth and holding power accountable. The Sunday Times, with its century-long legacy of covering pivotal stories, stands as a crucial pillar in the fight against corruption and indifference.
