The sad reality is that the governance system in South Africa has not changed from the influence of the westminster colonial system:
1. The National executive with its ministers operates exactly like 10 Downing Street , with a Prime Minister and cabinet, same like all so-called democracies in developed nations countries , America, France etc, only some have Presidents due to not having a monarchy..,
2. House 🏡 of Lords is the equivalent of the National Assembly .., Senate in USA 🇺🇸, Parliaments in other countries with different configurations but the same similar system adjusted..,
3. ⁠House of Commons = NCOP and all lower houses 🏘️, just broken down into different parties who rule via the musical chairs 🪑 systems , democrats vs republicans, labour party structures of the works vs the more astute ones etc …,
4. ⁠Regional structures of constituents in different formations premiers , governors, etc, etc and,
5. ⁠Local governments in all types of formations divided by powers and functions that might differ on capacity and capability i.e. metropolis vs district vs local etc,etc , same focus ..,
6. ⁠Sad reality every where they collectively can not resolve the serious 🧐 decline 📉 of humanity…, regardless of where they are in the world 🌍, homelessness, food insecurity, joblessness, economic stagnation and decline 📉, extreme poverty, squatters and more and more people living on the streets in dire poverty and self made habitats of every waste product imaginable..,
7. ⁠Now here is the reason: Gavin Nascimento best describes in his expression ‘No one ☝️ owns the water 💦, no one owns the rains ,no one ☝️ owns sea 🌊, no one ☝️ owns the land , this is freely given by our Mother/Father/Creator being , it’s only by the hand 🤚 of man that we (humanity) has to pay a fee’ (not direct quote) but this is the reality that breeds greed and corruption, misery, poverty and all social ills , disease 🦠 and mayhem etc, etc .

Time 🕰️ to wake up and understand your purpose or are you here aligning yourself to a system of control called governance that is the ultimate gog wheel 🛞 in man’s demise and destruction, an ungodly system that can never produce the realities of being Human, Kai Gangans 🙏👑👣

Kai Bi’a /am Jeanette serves as Secretary of the 𝗚𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗾𝘂𝗮 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 and the 𝗞𝗮𝗶 𝗕𝗶’𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹, as Secretary of the Circle of Elders and as personal assistant to Kai Bi’a Hennie van Wyk.

Her council work extends across what she describes as the community’s “soft boundaries”, from Cape Point to Brackenfell.

Her leadership is rooted in preserving and promoting Khoekhoe culture, Indigenous identity, ancestral knowledge and living community heritage.

As a poet, cultural practitioner, Indigenous clothing and jewellery designer and community organiser, she helps carry the symbolism and cultural memory of Khoekhoe heritage into the present.

Through handmade clothing, jewellery, headbands, beadwork and other wearable pieces, she creates more than decorative objects. These works are expressions of identity, continuity and belonging, enabling people to wear their heritage while supporting the preservation of Indigenous traditions.

Kai Bi’a /am Jeanette has also completed certified permaculture training through SEED in Rocklands and Soil for Life in Constantia.

She maintains a garden of Indigenous plants and herbs and draws on knowledge of their traditional and practical uses. She has applied her permaculture skills through community garden work in Kalk Bay, helping create an educational space that reconnects people with the land, food cultivation, plant knowledge and healthier ways of living.

Alongside her cultural and community work, she brings more than 13 years of experience in corporate finance, as well as strong organisational, administrative and problem-solving skills.

Her life demonstrates that living heritage is not confined to archives, ceremonies or history books.
