....... Council of Elders - Twelve Around One - Advising and representing the community The first step that each community needs to take is to appoint its own Council of Elders that consists of 13 of the most respected elders, appointed by the people of the community and not politicians. We believe strongly in reactivating the human aspects of African traditions that have been desecrated by colonisation and replaced by bureaucratic chaos. For this reason we will promote the reinstitution of tribal chiefs and tribal land that has been stolen from the people by the government. Where possible, all tribal chiefs must be elevated to their original tribal status of tribal chiefs in every community, their rightful place as a voice of reason, guidance and justice in the community. We propose that the 12 newly appointed elders by the community, together with the chief will be the complete Council of Elders and will make all the final decisions for the benefit of the community on a daily basis. They will approve and implement what is most urgently need by the community and what should be developed and done on every level of each community. This will speed up the development and upgrading each community infinitely. Communities or towns where there are no tribal chiefs, the full 13 members of the Council of Elders should be appointed by the people through a simple process of voting the most respected elders into those positions. ....... Replacing The Existing Municipalities Most of the municipalities in South Africa today are corrupt and bankrupt, and they simply do not deliver any of the needs of the people. They have to be replaced. The newly appointed Council of Elders can implement the will of the people to take over the governance of their town to move towards prosperity. ............. Community Banking Each town or community needs to establish a bank account into which they will pay the money for all monthly fees like taxes, water, electricity and others. This account will be managed by the people through their own Council of Elders, and not politicians. This money will be use for all the needs of the community where the municipality did not deliver, maintenance, upgrading of facilities and to establish the initial community projects that will become the foundation of future prosperity within the community. Please see the list of proposed community projects at the end of this document. ......
