Well articulated except you conflate criminals with politicians. I take Madikizela as an up and coming politician. The Arab spring, Venezuela, Brazil, even in Russia has seen the people showing a need to hold politicians to high standards failing which they are booted out. My take is that Madikizela must not let himself to end up being clubbed in the same league as those that are criminals masquerading as politicians. Yes, high standards for those that wish to be taken seriously as politicians is a must in my little book.
