Ishmael Mamelodi, by e-mail: Our leaders in the government, unions and other sectors are busy fuelling conflict in our country - black-on-black violence - the government especially.

It tells the unions that it doesn't have enough money at present to give to the public servants - or to speed up service delivery. But it keeps firing cadres from positions such as director-general and the SABC board - paying out millions in severance packages.

It doesn't make any sense.

Our leaders are supposed to think ahead to prevent such things, as well as these massive strikes.

Please, leaders, let us not waste any more time.

You all have a duty to carry out. Will you not serve the people who voted for you?

The people shall govern!
