Common sense has always guided the development and survival of humanity. It is in our DNA. It sort of comes naturally. But there is one condition for it to always serve us better. We must have a high sense of awareness and consciousness to benefit

from it. But this comes with continuous learning and more wisdom.
Consider then our current reality.
- Our sovereign debt is about R4 Trillion
- Debt servicing costs run at about R225 billion.
- Our Tax Income has been declining significantly

- Because our Tax base has been declining progressively as investment declined
- Then came Covid-19. Millions lost their jobs and prospects of recovery are dim.
- The Recovery Plan announced by the President will not have immediate impact. This is Fact.

Common sense tells me something has to give:
We have to change the way we do things.
- Corruption must stop now at all levels
- The NPA and SIU must prosecute aggressively and recover our money mercilessly and quickly
- Our State Institutions must be

managed by capable people.
Otherwise I'm afraid our financial sovereignty will be lost. It is already seriously compromised.
I dread a situation where our social spend will have to be cut severely. We cannot afford the majority poor to bear more suffering

than what they have experienced because of Covid-19 and the lockdown it caused.
That will be Hell compounded.
We need to listen to one another for lasting solutions
The biggest obstacle is that the President is constrained by the ANC-Led Tripartite Allaiance
