NEW BLOOD NEW IDEAS
That believed with the newly female led political party Agang SA.
"I am happy that this leadership team draws from experience in community activism, labour unionism, entrepreneurship and big business, and even academia. It also blends age and youth, and gender, with rising stars in the party and on the political landscape given a chance to come through," says Dr Ramphele.
“I am particularly pleased that many of the current leadership team joined Agang SA early on and have worked hard to establish our young party and make it the political force it already is, despite the many challenges we have faced in the past year," continues Ramphele.
According to Ramphele, the party lists of candidates
for regional and national Parliament are ready and be submitted to the
Independent Electoral Commission within the mandatory timeline set.
We dream of a new
future for this country, of a way forward no longer mired in the failures of
our recent past.
We dream of building a
new type of state, where citizens realise their potential and take
responsibility for building the country of their dreams.
We dream of a country
in which citizens enjoy the fruits of democracy and are able to aspire and to
achieve their dreams; we dream of a country where citizens come
first.
These dreams inspired
the creation of Agang SA.
We seek to provide a
political home for all South Africans who are humiliated by their dependency on
handouts and are tired of things as they have been who recognise that it is
time to build South Africa,
together, into a winning country.
All the citizens of
this country we call home can build this country if we live the
values of hope,
dignity and freedom.
In Agang SA there is
hope that South Africa
will be the best country it can be by providing the dignity in people who are
able to support themselves and their family, and the freedom to stand up and
demand better.
Agang SA offers a new
opportunity for South Africans to regain their dignity and their voices which
have become muted and lost.
Agang SA calls on
citizens to reclaim to the early promise of our democracy. Citizens of this
country have demonstrated to the world their ability to rise above
partisanship, division, narrow self-interest, and greed.
“We see the South Africa of
our future: a future where every man or woman
Search for a job, can
find one that gives them a life of dignity and prosperity.
We see a country with
an education system that no longer leaves students unskilled and dispirited,
but produces a sense of purpose and self-worth.
We dream of a country
where government officials and government leaders serve citizens, and not the
narrow interests of elite. We demand a government that is not involved in the
evil of corruption.” She said.
Aganga demands demand
government leaders who understand the pride gained in serving the public.
“We see a future where
there is not a single South African citizen who lives in poverty or is without
housing, water and sanitation. We see a South Africa in which women and
children are safe in their homes and safe in the streets. We see a future in
which people that fall prey to illness receive the assistance they need from a
healthcare system that works and does not leave
they worse off than
when they arrived at hospital doors.” MAmphela said.
We dream of an economy
where large businesses grow and where small businesses flourish without red
tape and choking bureaucracy. We dream of an economy where citizens and
businesses enjoy high quality appropriate infrastructure created through
projects that generate sustainable jobs.
Agang SA dreams of a
proud, resurgent and confident South
Africa.
“We cannot make these
dreams live if we are divided. We are South Africans, no matter our language,
our culture, our colour. We want to work together as South African citizens to
build the country of our dreams – by building roads and hospitals, and fighting
corruption at every turn. We want to work together to start and develop new
businesses, turn around our education system and create sustained, dignified jobs
for each and every South African.” She said.
