There is much reason to be optimistic about the future of this country because of the increasing interest citizens are taking in its development, and also because the next generations are likely to demonstrate even less tolerance for corruption, arrogance in public office, homophobic behaviour, racism, religious intolerance and social inequity.
The growing involvement of civil society in national affairs is a promising trend and reminds of the early eighties when the Organisation for National Reconstruction (ONR) was established. Back then, many citizens wanted change and through the ONR movement, they had set on a course to do just that. Although in the elections of 1981 they didn't get a "damn seat," their initiatives had sent a clear message that change was possible.
Today, many people of that generation are among citizens who have no political party allegiances. Empirically, if we are to judge from commentaries in the media, there are many keen, unco-ordinated people who are constantly challenging national policies whenever they feel these lack integrity or clarity of purpose or are duplicitous. They are just as quick to commend good work and offer alternative solutions. The trade union movement, although some of its institutions have been politically associated, could be added to these groups.
