Tessanne shows our potential

Dear Editor,

Once again a great Jamaican, this time Tessanne Chin, has shone on the world stage and demonstrated that Jamaicans are world beaters.

And now, we will see the politicians jumping over each other to get on her bandwagon to try and benefit from her personal achievements, something in which they played no part.

Tessaane's success has again exposed for the world to see that it is poor leadership which has plagued this country since Independence and limited our success. For it is poor leadership that has put us on the top of the corruption and murder pile, destroying the potential of so many of our super-talented people, while the cultist followers would have us honour those who have been the architects of our destruction. For it is the garrison politicians and their willing collaborators in the two major parties who have brought Jamaica to the criminal level that the country has sunk. The garrisons are the incubators in which slavery is even being practised today with the blessings of some of our so called leaders, present and past.

Tessane's success did not come about only because of her natural talents, but also because Jamaicans, at home and abroad, found something to rally around. Poor leadership has been clearly the problems for decades, but are we really prepared to shake off the shackles of lethargy and continue to accept the leadership of those who limit us, as we go into the new year?

The magnificent performance of the Tessannes, Shelly-Anns, Bolts and the unexposed talents of the thousands of young Jamaicans here, plus the obvious willingness of those in the diaspora to work with us to help us succeed, should help us bring real truth to our "give us vision lest we perish".
