ACDP KZN Human Rights Day Celebration by ACDP
The ACDP leader, Kenneth Meshoe visited KwaMakhuta on 21 March, Human Rights day, to address supporters in the area. Meshoe said we need to stop discussing "strong opposition" and start talking about "replacing" the government. Meshoe said if we want to have a better South Africa, talking aout what happened 20 years ago is not going to provide jobs. People must not vote out of loyalty to a party, but must consider the best option, to give hope for a great future. He also addressed corruption, saying that the ruling party continues their corruption with impunity. This effects Human Rights, by robbing our citizens of vital services. He also commented that the government can not deal with issues like trafficking (human and drug) and drug addiction when many officials, including some in Parliament, were on the pay roll of gangsters. Gangs are targeting young children and robbing them of their safety, security and hope for a future. How can learners concentrate when there are gun shots outside their class rooms, when they are being recruited by gangs. Meshoe promised that if there were ever allegations against ACDP Public Office Bearers being on the pay roll of criminals, they would be investigated, and if found guilty, fired and handed over to the police. The ACDP leader encouraged supporters, saying that anything is possible if we set out minds to it. We must roll up our sleeves and work hard to start building the government South Africa so desperately needs and desires. The leader also praised members who had worked very hard and signed on thousands of members and supporters recently in KwaZulu-Natal.
ACDP provincial leader Jo-Ann Downs spoke about how the ACDP can offer a better life for the 48% of KwaZulu-Natal residents that are living in poverty. 960 000 in eThekwini alone. ACDP has plans and goals to provide better opportunities jobs, and improve education, two of the core interventions needed to lift people out of poverty. Downs also spoke about the issue of clean drinking water, which is declared a Human Right. More than half of KZN do not have access to water in their homes. People of South Africa deserve to have a hope of a better future. The biggest growth is in small and informal business and government needs to boost this sector instead of government officials making profits from doing business with government. Money should be put into training people to start small businesses like Shisa iNyamas and selling Madumbis to cater for local business markets. The people of South Africa need leaders like Dr Meshoe, who have never tried to make money by doing business with government. ACDP will give you leaders who care about others, who care about the poor, who will not steal, who will tell the truth at all cost. We need change.
UKZN Student Council Representative and founder of NGO "Driving to Success", Ketsani Njoko told the youth about where things are going wrong in improving opportunities for youth to study further. Those that come from "poor" backgrounds can not afford the fees, the application processes, the text books etc to go to tertiary institutions. He mentioned that it is also hard to think about studying when there is no food to eat in homes. He spoke about the NGO "Driving to Success", that is addressing some of these issues. The NGO also goes to schools and educates youth about their prospects after school. They identify issues the students face and involve other organisations and professionals to try and solve these. For eg Social Workers etc. — at ACDP KZN Human Rights Day Rally. (near ACDP KZN Human Rights Day Rally)
