Why this petition matters

Started by Palesa Phoofolo

Our parliament in South Africa, is made out of elderly people, most of which are over the age of 40, while they ran the country swiftly 20years back, they do not see that the world is changing, its difficult for them to adjust to knew ideas, which is understandable at their age and way of thinking.

All this aims to do, is bring light to our Government, that a change is needed, one that will develop our country, a change that will bring us to the 21st century state, one that brings growth and innovation, a change that is easy to make.

Our country's majority is the youth, sitting home with ideas to change the world, stuck in jobs that only puts bread on the table, qualifications decorating the walls, our youth is hungry for opportunities, we are hungry to bring the change we seek, thirsty for knowledge from our elders, and I'm not saying we should just leave our elders behind, what I'm saying is that we need to work together, to turn South Africa into the country we all love to live in.

Has any of our elders in parliament sat down with their grandchildren for a normal conversation and realized that, they can't understand a thing they are saying?

That is because of the generational gap, they don't think alike, times have changed and we need our country to change with it too.
