In City Press Voices: Why can’t SA be like Ethiopia and Rwanda?; The crisis at our universities; Mbali can save the DA

Here are some of the opinions you can expect in the Voices section this week:

If Ethiopia and Rwanda can do it, why can’t we?

Chris Maxon says while the two African countries’ leaders are lauded for driving change, South Africa remains mired in sluggish growth as our president appears incapable of acting decisively.

What is killing our universities

Like other sectors of our society, our once-prized tertiary institutions have become prey to corruption and poor governance, with public apathy adding to the crisis, writes N Barney Pityana.

Could Mbali save the DA?

Imraan Buccus argues that Mbali Ntuli’s decision to join the party’s leadership contest is timely as she has the credentials to help it return to its liberal roots.

Mshengu’s voice of hope

Joseph Shabalala lived his dream with such clarity that it became our dream too. Themba J Nkosi pays tribute to a visionary who was constant but never stagnant.
