This country has to establish strong checks and balances in the government and take away the power of the president to spend money as his or her discretion.   In 1994, the founders drew up a constitution with the idea that everyone would be honest and this is not the case.  The founders were concerned with the country drifting into tribalism like other Africa countries.    So, the founders set up this system of government in SA.   The type of government that Mills talks about might no work in SA.   Maybe, half of the members of parliament should be directly elected and the others appointed.
