Lesotho public service a joke

Sometimes I wish I was a South African citizen. I just like the way the South Africans behave. Living in Lesotho and working in the public service is like being a prisoner whose freedom is taken from him. The SA public service recently on strike to demand the salary increase was a hit. I like that South Africans know that they are the ones who elected the government. So, they know that the government has to listen to their grievances, no matter what. But that is not case with Basotho. Once they are threatened that if they complain they will lose their jobs, they just pull back and out of their plans. Why can't we stamd up to show that we belong to this country and have the rightful claim on this country's benefits? Why can't we come together to show the super-powers that we deserve better than we are getting? I challenge the public service to remember that they are the owners of the government and have the right to everything from this country. Let's come out of the closet and stand for our rights. Do we deserve the meagre salaries we get? NO. Let's get what we deserve.
