Politics is Dead: Embrace Technocratic Governance

It is now a week after South Africa voted in its general election. The elections revealed many things, including that the only constant is change.
Apart from every thing else, I had the honour of voting next to my son, who at 19 years old, voted for the first time.
But now that we have voted,maybe it is time for a rethink!
On the whole thing!
How we choose our leaders.
How we elect or select them.
What kind of government we want to have.
In an age where political disillusionment runs high, maybe we should seriously consider a shift from traditional political structures to technocratic governance.
In many ways it is clear that "politics is dead"!
Every day we are confronted with politics and politicians that reveal inefficiencies, corruption, and self-serving Narcissists intent only on prolonging their time in power.
As South Africa, along with many other countries, grapples with these issues, the idea of replacing politician-led governance with technocratic leadership offers a promising and more hopeful alternative.
