REFLECTION ON THE ARTICLE ‘DRUGS OR GUNS’

After read and analyze the article of Drugs or Guns, something like injustice and cruelty did conquer the political control in South Africa. This valiantly can be proven from the article so as to the South Africa government was facing two legal cases. The two cases are the weapon-acquisition deal and making anti retroviral freely available in the country. After been examined, it is clearly shows that the government is bias towards the citizen when it comes to drugs issues where the governments have to spend a lot of money in order to make an anti-retroviral freely. Meanwhile, the government considered more about the weapon deal. This is because the deal allowed them to gain so much benefit when it comes to the collaboration with the bigger country. As mentioned in the article, the government people are involved in corruption, the dirty politics’ money, shows the world what they do. It can be seen that this unwanted action had been done for their own sake only not the citizen. Government’s responsibility is nowhere if it is still lead by the particular person or individual. The South Africa’s President Thabo Mbeki surely became the worst example for the other countries’ leader. At the same time, all of his true action and bad behavior had affected the clean reputation of the majority of worlds’ important leader. At last, citizen needs to be the final victim. They have to accept the thing that they don’t deserve.
