Your Vote, Your Voice: Get Ready for SA’s Elections

As South Africa gears up for its upcoming elections, it is prudent to review and assess the election promises made by political parties in the run-up to the previous elections.

Since the last election, we’ve witnessed various pledges, but how many have been fulfilled? 

An analysis of pledge achievement goes beyond ticking off a to-do list; it’s about understanding that the success or failure to deliver on those promises impacts the daily lives of the country’s citizens. 

Have they brought about, shown evidence of or fought effectively for meaningful change? Have they addressed the core issues that matter to us, the voting citizens?

Ethics in Politics

The ethical behaviour of political parties is a mirror reflecting their respect towards society. Therefore, it is important to take the time to scrutinise their actions and decisions, for example:

• Have they acted with integrity and transparency? 
• Have they prioritised the greater good over party interests? 

This evaluation is not only about what they’ve done but also about how they’ve done it. Ethical conduct in politics is the foundation of trust and credibility, crucial in a democratic society.

Choosing The Right Candidates

The candidates put forward by different parties are the faces of their vision and values, as well as representatives of their core values.

When choosing a party, it is important to look at the candidate that they have put forward as this gives you an insight into the management of the party and their core values. Look at the candidate’s track record, their commitment to the community and their vision for the future. For example:

• Were they doing community focused work before starting in the political industry, i.e. is there ‘window dressing’ going on?
• Are they capable of leading and making tough decisions? 
• Do they represent the diversity and spirit of South Africa? 

The right candidates are those who resonate with the people and have proven that they turn promises into action.
