Description: For many South Africans the Constitution that protects us all today also introduced a new awareness: we all have rights. We are not only human, we are also citizens of a nonracial, nonsexist (and sometimes nonsensical) democracy and are free to ask questions. Evita has been in politics all her life, often not through choice and that reflects so many of our lives today. Let us realize that politics is here today and gone tonight. It is our right to demand answers. It is our right to expect more from government. It is our right to laugh at the corrupt, the lazy, the careless and the arrogant in politics. Maybe they will go away!
