People want RESULTS.

It's amazing how much people actually want to see results in everything that happens around them, be it something that they do themselves, or something that someone else does. Take for instance the service delivery protests that have been happening around South Africa.

People went to vote for the current government hoping that they will get better results( Houses. Basic needs etc...). Now that they realise that they are not getting those results they are reacting towards the elected government. Don't get me wrong i am not condoning what they are doing. I am merely stating that they are not getting the results they hoped for. In this case these people had a say in the event(voting).

Let's now look at the selection of the South African National Soccer coach, none of the citizens voted or had a say when he was elected, yet everybody wants to have a say in what must be done with him. Most people want him to leave as they feel he is not doing his job. My question is shouldn't that be the case with the government as well? Most people would say NO we should give it a chance to do all that it promised to do. My questionthe is shouldn't that also apply to the coach?

I believe that for a team to achieve anything, the should be trials and tribulations, there should tough times and worst times, the should be times were the one believes that the other is worthless and vice versa. To be at your highest, you first need to be at your lowest. Santana should be given a chance like any other person. We all need to learn to be patient and consistent. Look at the rugby and cricket coaches they have been at their lowest, the were times when most people wanted them to leave,but they were given the chance to continue. Jake White was with the springboks for a long time before he won the world cup. The most important ingredients in there was consistency and patience.

Please do the same with Santana as you would do the government. Don't discriminate against the other because you feel they are a foreigner. That very same foreigner might just be the best thing that ever happens to you and the country. The very same chances that were given other coaches must be given to him. The soccer team has had a lot of coaches and noneof them has stayed as long as the sports. Don't you think it's time that soccer became consistent as well? Maybe that's all it needs, who knows......
