Good Governance

A government in a democratic society must be accountable and transparent for its members, for its citizens. A government must be reliable and must work with the best for its people as its number one aim. The SJC argue that a number of governmental decisions show that our government are not accountable. The now long going arms deal saga is but one example of how the billions of rand that could and should have been spent on improving the everyday life of the people living in South Africa, is instead wasted on airplanes and weapons. These weapons will not feed or shelter our people, these airplanes will not lift the millions and millions of people living below poverty line out of their misery. The still unexamined accusation of corruption in the arms deal is yet another reason why we demand accountable governance. Corruption, in all its forms, whether high or low, small or big, is ruining every chance to build a just society.

The SJC demands good governance, through marches, speeches, meetings, petitions, letter, articles, in short, in every possible way we can demand it. Our members form together to meet our politicians, to show them that we are not happy and we will not stop until we can rely on our elected leaders to have our best, all of us, as their goal.
