Dear Mr Mthethwa
I am lost in admiration - in the archaic sense of the word: wonder, amazement. My flagging spirits revived at the news of your R22 million flag monument project.
From a news report:
The department this week made the announcement, saying it would be a “symbol of unity and national pride”. The department also said the project would inspire “social cohesion”.I can clearly picture South Africans gazing up at the monstro..., pardon, monument, waves of national pride and currents of social cohesion tugging at their hearts. My own heart is already swelling with pride. It feels remarkably similar to nausea. But then these sensations can be almost indistinguishable one from another.
As minister of Sports, Art and Culure, I imagine that the artist in you gave life to this idio...., pardon, inspirational idea. Van Gogh cut off a piece of his ear and supposedly gave it to a lady (of the night) as a token of affection. If anything proves your love for the people of South Africa, it is this thing you plan to do. I will happily suggest which parts of your anatomy you could sever, as a grand, artistic gesture to accompany the unveiling of your flag sculpture.
You are our own Kublai Khan.

At the rate that you and your party are innovating and creating, we will have many Xanadus. Bullet trains, smart buildings, monuments and more. Our citizens will gaze in intense admiration and even more intense hunger.
I am carried away on wings of awe.
Yours in the struggle to awaken the artistic soul of South Africa.
