Rome was not built in one day

South Africa is in its 14th year of democracy, and people are accusing the government of letting them down. South Africans are not satisfied with service delivery the government is providing them, they believe the government hasn't done enough. Mama Marry Sibiya a 58 year old from Alexandra a township North of Johannesburg points out Rome was not built in one day. She proudly showed us the book that encouraged and kept her strong, the Nelson Mandela auto biography "A Long walk to freedom". Mama Marry has been staying in Alexandra for as long as she can remember and believes things have changed as compared to the past where there was no electricity,water and roads. Mama Marry is an inspiration especially for the youth of South Africa who she believes are just complaining about everything and do nothing to change things. Of cause there's still a long way to go and much needs to be improved, but let's remember fellow South Africans Rome was not built in one day.
