GLOBAL AFTERSHOCKS

GLOBAL AFTERSHOCKS: The aftershocks from the explosion in the Beirut port area, in Lebanon, on August 4 have been felt across the world. While the proximate cause was the criminal neglect of a warehouse storing thousands of tons of ammonium nitrate, the root cause appears to be a political system that sustains sectarianism and thrives on corruption. It should serve as a wake-up call to all countries, including South Africa, of the damage that can arise should corruption and political inertia be allowed to take hold for a sustained period.
