										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The assertion by Brett Herron of the Good Party that a national dialogue is more pertinent than ever  (<em>The Mercury,</em> August 8)  is naïve and unrealistic not only because of how the ANC has structured the intended process, but because the May 29, 2024 national election was the national dialogue.</p>
<p>On that day voters declared the ANC’s time as sole ruler was up. It had had 30 years to deliver a “better life for all” and failed atrociously.</p>
<p>The GNU is a disingenuous means for the ANC to pretend it still has a mandate to ruin South Africa although it lost that on 29 May 2024. Mr Herron deludes himself when he says a national dialogue is necessary to ‘awaken the government from its slumber and deliver.’ The ANC is fully alive to what it is doing. It is delivering on its Marxist National Democratic Revolution and using the GNU to facilitate it.</p>
<p>Ramaphosa’s purpose in wasting R700 million to facilitate a so-called national dialogue is a face-saving pretence to project the view that the ANC is in earnest about addressing the ills of the country.</p>
<p>It is a pretence because in advance it has been made clear that the final outcomes of the dialogue must align with the ANC’s ideological world views. That means views challenging their narrative will not be reflected in the decision-making process.</p>
<p>In an attempt to give credence to the process and its outcomes, an eminent persons’ panel has been appointed whose members’ views echo those of the ANC.</p>
<p>From those parameters it should be obvious that no improvement in the state of the country can result when it is predetermined that the same policies which have brought about dysfunction, dereliction and distress will not be challenged. In other words, the so-called dialogue is a window dressing sham.</p>
<p>There can be no salvation for South Africa until the ANC and its communist cadres and cronies are removed root and branch. To initiate that process will require a clear anti-communist mandate in a general election. From there a national convention premised on commitment to free enterprise, unambiguous property rights and Judeo-Christian values should follow.</p>
<p>Then, as is being initiated by the Trump Administration, there must be consequences for those who have looted, defrauded and corrupted the system. Unless this process is followed, there is no hope for South Africa – unless God  intervenes.</p>
