Wonderful World Of Whatabout and Wenzeni

 A classic South African Twitter debate, fictional but as close to the real thing  as a famous KZN father - daughter team are to each other

One cannot but be blown away by the eloquence, the lucid reasoning and the ravenous hunger for truth. 

This is probably why our problem solving skills and problem solving  record are up there with NASAs. 

"He was the best president we ever had. He created jobs."

"Yes, for pals. Treasury, police etc. Security cluster became a clustermuck"

"Prove it."

'Read, man, read!

By 2014 1.5 million jobs had been lost since your hero came into power, thanks to job-unfriendly legislation. Most jobs created were in the already bloated civil service whose service remains like horse manure and water."

"As if the apartheid government didn't create jobs for whites."

"How long are you going to ride that dead horse?" 

"Easy for you with your white privilege." 

"I'm black." 

"Colonial clerk!"

"No, bloody clever black, moron!"

"IMoron unyoko!"

"So tell me. wenzenista: does a decent man, a man of integrity, run for public office  with rape charges and dozens of other charges hanging over him?"

"Where's the proof?"

"Ask the National Prosecuting Authority . Maybe if he'd stand still long enough to face his accusers in court, you'd have your answer."

"The judiciary is captured."

"Only when it's  not ruling for your master."

"House negro!"

You are supposed to be anti-American but you ape them. Anyway you and your ilk are true house negroes. All you repeat is your massa's kitchen gossip. Scared to get out into the real world  and let the winds of evidence blow some common sense into your skull."

"What evidence?"

"Thousands of pages and hours of testimony. Again man, read!"

"What about dollars in couches?"

"Oh, also an accomplished whataboutist. What school of rhetoric do all you guys attend?"

"Did your white handlers teach you that?"

"You could get a damned good price for your brain."

"What?"

"No mileage. Totally unused."

"Fuseg ms@#%%!"

"F#$% You very much!"

End of Act 1.
