Destruction of property
and violence are the only voices of the powerless, Agang SA leader Mamphela
Ramphele said on Sunday. (Facebook)
"Destruction and violence are used by the
powerless because they feel disrespected," she told her supporters in
Ekangala, east of Pretoria. She visited Ekangala following violent protests in
the area. "Before we condemn those who burn buildings, let us sit with
them and hear what their concerns are," she said. Violence should however
be not be condoned.
"It is wrong to burn down public buildings and
perpetrate violence. Those belong to you as the community." She said it
was time to remove "the rats" from government. "Corruption
destroys the economy and people's lives." Ramphele said South Africa's
economy could grow at a rate of more than eight percent if the country was
managed by a government committed to its people
