What's the issue?

What's the issue?

Author: Tomas Yoko

You don't get much more justice than an execution by hanging from the neck until death, but there is a Judge out there somewhere that thinks this is more than just. I think the death penalty is such a let off, I would prefer the perpetrators of heinous crimes like these to suffer for many many years. Suffer an excruciating pain, heightened by pharmaceuticals and extended by all manner of medical assistance, until they are screaming in pain and anguish and begging for the soft warm comfort of death to come and take them. And then we should still deny them the pleasure of death, the privilege of death, the honour that death offers and the chance to meet their maker. Some believe our maker to be forgiving, I might aspire to be like Him, but in the face of filthy disgusting and degrading behaviour, the like of which is filling our newscasts of late, I would be hard pressed to extend the favour of death to these selfless bastards who don't deserve the dignity of death, they deserve to suffer until their begging sobs of mercy are choking on the tears in their throat. And then, if they show a little more remorse, maybe then they should be allowed to drink hydrochloric acid, but not too much, just enough to clear the throat so we can'e hear their screams for mercy anymore.

Oh, you think that is a little too harsh do you, then you were more than likely never a victim of violent crime. I say if America can use torture then why not our detention services.

Well we have one billion rising and even that does not seem to be ebbing the flow of rancid human behaviour. To live in a society, where only some of the people respect the status quo, needs a hide like a rhino. Oops, did I say rhino sorry, bad example, change it for something more suitable.

Talking about change, the political landscape in South Africa has just received a welcome change as the former Managing Director of the World Bank announced her intentions to contest the 2014 elections. Going head to head with Zuma on a bill of anti corruption, Mamphela Ramphele was a co-founder of the Black Consciousness Movement along with Steve Biko, with whom she has two children. It was no ground shaking wonder that the ANC came out guns blazing with dismissive comments and banal subversion and even less so that the Democratic Alliance welcomed Ramphele's announcement and look forward to working with her in making South Africa an even better country than it already is. Read between those lines why don't you. Ramphele's new political party is to be called 'Agang', whne looked at from a Eurocentric English perspective it can be interpreted as; A gang. As long as the gang is working towards a better future for all, I am in support of it. As its original SeSotho word, it means "Let's build". Mamphela Ramphele's new party adds hope to our future and I think a woman president can only improve on the male we have.
