Have we South Africans totally lost our grip on reality?
A fellow who styles himself 'engineer' had this to say, following halfway-mark vote counting:
"The first order of business should be to change the National Anthem. Take out Die Stem and leave the original version. If you can't change the National Anthem, then forget about the land and NHI."
As an engineer, you would know that this critical initiative will have water and electricity flowing again to households, crime levels falling dramatically, the economy reviving, corruption smashed.
One of my very rude friends responded as follows:
"Kak, man, if you are an adult with at least one brain cell working, you will know that the first order of business is to restore order and commonsense and get things working again in this country. Have you been drinking? Smoking ganja? Or are you always like this? Thank heavens you're not responsible for energy supply, or anything that requires the use of logic. I'm not talking about EFF-style superior logic. Just the sort of stuff my four year old grandson applies to daily life."
I, of course, rebuked him, pointing out that he ought to show some respect for our intellectuals. Where would we be without them?
An ANC worthy commented:
"We are quite confident of the work we've done over 30 years...."
"Yes", chimed in the rude one. "Few can boast of your diligence and dedication in the fields of corruption, incompetence and buffoonery. And, of course, your ingenious explanations, excuses and rationalizations of your dismal failures and betrayals would have George Orwell licking his lips".
Can't take this bugger anywhere.
Dear politicians, we know that this is a stressful time. You may be watching your six figure incomes, free cars, free houses and other goodies slipping away. but please keep off the grass, stay off the jungle juice, before making comments that would embarrass the class dunce. Or at least until you have something sensible to say.
