Only God is free of error
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Ismail is merciful and loves those who show mercy.
As humans, we must be grateful to the Creator and also to others. When somebody does good deeds we must show appreciation. However, endless gratitude is limited to the Creator only.
Example, when you have debt, ensure debt is paid before or after you die as the soul by Abrahamic criterion remain tied to debt. The one who lent you money has a right to payment even after death.

Recently, a national Minister decided to erect a South African flag at a cost of R22 million.
Many families struggle to pay for food, clothes, water and electricity etc. this Minister seems to lack empathy as he already spend money on “the flag” idea. His report that the flag would be lit 24/7 mocks the nation since we recently had stage 6 load shedding. Sadly, this Minister is not the only person who engages in wasteful actions that cost tax and rate payers billions and thinks it is ok.
Example, 12 years ago for the 2010 World Cup, a few politicians spend billions of taxpayers’ money on soccer games. Those who objected, were ridiculed. Today, many of the stadiums are useless and cost of upkeep cost ratepayers millions. A stadium in Tshwane which was built at a cost of R140 million will now be demolished at an extra cost of R84 million.

I want to warn political, official and other leaders who make major financial decisions that cost ordinary tax and ratepayers. The debts that you incur, that cost others, will be tied to your neck on judgement day. Decision makers will be held liable as you will not escape your decisions. You may think that your decisions are above scrutiny since you won millions of votes, but it is not. God does not care about the quantity of votes that you received or how popular you are. When you waste other people’s money, that debt will be tied around your specific neck on judgement day.
Also, when you increase the cost of water and electricity etc. to cover the cost of errors like a flag or stadium or a bicycle lane that serves no purpose or corruption etc. you will answer judgement day.
Those who seek power and influence must know that with great power comes great responsibility. The glitz and glamour will not be worth the culpability on judgement day when your soul is at risk.
