Résumé
Who joins politics? What motivates them to do so? How are they selected or elected into political office within parties and in the three spheres of government? Are they forced to grovel before some leaders - sing for their supper - to stay in those leaders' good books ((patronage)? What influence do party members have on political party decisions and policy positions? How are they kept in line with political party policies and decisions, rules and standards of conduct, behaviour or performance? Are politicians addicted to politics? Are politicians exposed to unusually tough hazards unique to their calling or is the better view that hazards of their calling come with the territory: politicians must develop thick skins.
Should qualification requirements be imposed for political office holders? Why? Why not? Is there an explanation for the low trust and confidence citizens, particularly Generation Z, have towards politicians and the political system? Are politicians able and willing to reverse this trust deficit? We often hear dejected citizens saying: "These politicians are all the same!!";""Politicians have no moral compass"; " Politicians only care for themselves"; and "Politicians are a law unto themselves" uttered matter-of-factly.
Are they tainted with the same brush because some among them behave badly - go rogue - by putting their interests first ahead of the interests of those who mandated them to be political office-holders? What do politicians share in common with Julius Caesar's assassination on the Ides of March in 44 B. C. by Senators who stabbed him 63 times on the steps of the Senate? The knives are always out - backstabbing intra-party and inter-party is always real - and from quarters you least expect backstabbing to come from.
Loyalties and allegiances change constantly because "A day is a long time in politics." "It is indisputable too that politicians are judged against much higher standards than ordinary people because of who they are, and correctly so. Winston Churchill expressed it in his usual erudite manner: '"Where there is great power, there is great responsibility", a statement echoed by Voltaire in the Spiderman comic and in the Bible too. ".....
a university degree does not define a leader nor guarantee competent leadership. Some of the worst cases of mismanagement of resources and abuse of power have involved highly educated people...." - Joseph Watungu, Kenyan journalist "Winnie Mandela was neither an angel nor perfect. Who amongst us is an angel and is perfect?? ........ she was vilified by many, mostly within and outside the ANC, for being her authentic self......."
