The commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the United Democratic Front\u2019s (UDF) establishment is used as an opportunity to encourage active citizenry to improve life for all in South Africa, and put pressure on government to improve lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UDF stopped its activities in 1992 with the dawn of South Africa\u2019s democracy. Its birthday has, however, revived members to encourage citizens to \u201cfight racism and inequality\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u2018Officials, politicians accountable if they do not fulfil duties, fail citizens\u2019<\/div>\n
Trevor Manuel, former minister of Finance and one of the UDF\u2019s founding members, said at a celebratory event in Kimberley\u2019s City Hall on 19 August that officials and politicians must be held personally accountable if they do not fulfil their duties, and fail citizens.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Manuel, former minister of Finance and one of the UDF\u2019s founding members, says the Constitution should be amended to hold those in power accountable for South Africa\u2019s failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe UDF was most active during the state of emergency in the late 80\u2019s and early 90\u2019s. It was massively powerful, from which we must learn lessons. We were ambitious, militant, and determined to see a better life for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocracy brought all of us together. We must take ownership of our democracy and understand the rights and responsibilities. By 1986 we drafted the Constitution that sets out a series of rights and responsibilities. For instance, we must build a society based on human rights. We must make a commitment to future generations to free each person\u2019s potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is not just words, it must be put into action. Today must be better than yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He says democracy was not a gift, but an enormous sacrifice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople all over the country fell. To pretend now that democracy was not built on the backs and by the sacrifices of those who have gone before is the greatest injustice to the struggle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocracy is baked into our Constitution, developed subsequent\u00adly. It is part of legislation and the National Development Plan (NDP).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manuel says activism should be instilled to hold those in power to account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\u201cThe quality of life has not improved. Go to your municipalities and constantly raise issues of neglect.\u201d<\/div>\n
Trevor Manuel<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

William Steenkamp, Northern Cape coordinator of the UDF commemoration, says serious failures like the lack of service delivery affect people on a socio-economic level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He says the water crisis in Kimberley is a good example of how infrastructure has deteriorated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is not about fixing and replacing pipes and valves, it is the bigger picture that concerns. Citizens must be involved and take responsi\u00adbility in all spheres in government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter 40 years we are rejuvenating the values, culture, and traditions of the UDF \u2013 the nonracial character. There is too much xenophobia, ethnicity, and tribalism in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to reintegrate our values to serve as a glue to keep us united in fighting a monstrous government. We have serious challenges with the ANC government. We are the most unequal society, we have the highest unemployment, rape, and murder statistics in the world. We have more murders in our country than in war-torn countries like Afghanistan, Syria and the like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe country is in a crisis, and we need to act now to improve our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

NoordkaapBulletin is a regional newspaper based in Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape of South Africa. It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
