For Desmond Tutu, everything that is wrong in South Africa today is the fault of the previous government’s policies – the same government which handed over power almost twenty years ago. Even the fact that Johannesburg’s public streets are known to accumulate litter is allegedly due to the policies of a national government which ruled almost two decades ago. The solution – to everything – is for the current government to take wealth, at gunpoint, from the children of those who were abused less harshly in terms of the old government’s policies, pay itself handsomely for the effort, and give the residue to the children of those who were worse off.
