Here are some of the opinions in City Press Voices today:
Integrity only way for media
In many ways, the media and central banks struggle with the same dance: the need for independence balanced by the need to be accountable to society, writes Deputy Governor of the SA Reserve Bank Kuben Naidoo.
Our state is too top-heavy
Modidima Mannya argues that the sadness of our situation is that we pretend our troubles are new.
We are clearly delusional if we think the current problems will go away unless we do away with most of what we no longer need.
Selling state assets and offering critical public servants early retirement it but a pawn-shop approach to a serious problem.
Fighting Guptas, corruption, capture
While we have moved beyond the naivety of believing that the injustice of it all will be healed in a short space of time and that state capture will be quashed in its entirety under the new political leadership, we are doing ourselves a disservice by underestimating the ability of state capture to continue operating and destabilising our institutions, says Derek Hanekom.
Time for SA to walk the walk
Jennifer Smout says the links between gender-based violence, xenophobia and the climate crisis might not be so obvious, but their impact is far-reaching.
We need to be better selves
In society there is growing despair, feelings of marginalisation and resentment of the other.
While the clergy has been willing to show leadership, the political sphere has been content to keep fanning the fires.
It is in times like these that we need an Elijah Cummings-like figure to emerge and tell us to be our better selves, writes Mondli Makhanya.
