Dear Editor,
Around the horseshoe table and in the mayoral chair, plans could not be laid out regarding vendors and vending. But climb the political stage of a meeting, and in full flow, all sorts of plans and promises to improve and empower vendors are laid bare. How convenient!
What can’t be said and done around the table can suddenly, on the campaign stage, unfold with all the answers.
Something is amiss.
The substantive portfolio cannot be realised in your day-to-day routines, but suddenly you know what needs doing and how to get it done on the campaign stage.
Is it loyalty to the campaign stage rather than the city?
Take a failed person of a bygone time and place them in a position of power; don’t expect a different outcome.
Yours Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
