Will tomorrow ever come for our young leaders?

I was contemplating the calibre of leadership in this country in terms of competence and age and it dawned on me that we are led by a bunch of inept old geezers who want to hold onto power till death do them part.

Over the last four or five decades, we have been held hostage by the same leaders who have taken political centre stage and continue clinging onto power while the younger generation are left holding onto the false hope that their time will come in future. The political landscape is strewn with rusty old men stumbling all over and pretending they still have the legs for the long haul.
