What's the issue?

What's the issue?

I am a confused puppy. Are swimming pools a Western thing? Well we all know now, thanks to Number 1, that corruption is a Western thing. So I guess that makes it all right then. Because it is a Western thing we can all happily go about corrupting any and every government official that crosses our path.

Or is Number 1 saying that it is a Western thing so therefore it entirely the West's fault that our government is so corrupt. Hey! Don't shout out about being smeared with the same tar brush just because you are a corruption free politician in the South African Government. Just because you weren't paid a handsome share does not mean you are innocent. If you as a government official are even slightly in the know of any corrupt dealings in government and you have not sent your findings to our public protector (may the public protect her, she needs us now) then you are implicated in the Western way of corruption. Then you are not doing the job we as voters have entrusted to you.

Or is that just a Western way of doing things as well. Or is a house an airport? But don't worry, we'll just tagata that thing away, one time. How the mighty have fallen. Talk about impunity, it seems as if it is completely irrelevant that we even have a democracy. When the president can refuse to follow the law and the law is so soft and cow tied it even defends the farcical actions of the country's leader. I can't be more convoluted or as clear as a bell than that.

This from a guy whose wives cost the taxpayer R46.8 million plus per year. The Sowetan says that Zuma's five-year term will cost the taxpayer R517 million. Estimated at around R200 per minute for a President who does not seem that committed. Sorry to say but we will probably never find out about arms corruption deal, that too will be given the rout of total no co-operation effectively keeping it well hidden from public view. Whether the reports about the director of public prosecutions asking for a 7.5 million Rand golden handshake, like the one Vusi Pikoli got, and only being offered 5 million by No.1, because he had only been in office for just over a year, are ture or not is really just a Western matter of academics really. Not something to judge our judicial process on at all.

And the law, well the law is an Ass, as the saying goes. Just look at the Oscar trial and you will see, I'm waiting to hear about the appeal, the Jub Jub case shows that a car as a murder weapon is a better deal than zombie stoppers. The appeal will tell.

So while Turkey stand by and watch IS reign its terror campaign on a little village settled in the middle of a dust plain, the world flies Ebola infected people around the world as if the word quarantine had never been uttered.
