What's the Issue?

What's the Issue?

Babalwa Mpendu did not do Spanish at high school, if he did he might be able to speak to the locomotives that Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa bought. Such a shame, it could have saved this country so much. Maybe if Daniel Mthimkhulu did not deceive this country and PRASA about his qualifications we could have spent all that money on building our own carriages, creating jobs, developing skills, enriching our communities, but oh no, we gonna share it amongst our friends, or maybe just our families. Talk about derailing a train, I see derailing a nation. Anybody out there speaks Spanish and read mechanical journals at the same time? R3.5 Billion is a lot of money.

Our Defence Minister, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, sees no harm and no foul in hiring a plane from Jacob Zuma's son, for Five Million Rands, to fly our Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa to Japan. The Fact that the plane also belongs to the Gupta family seems to be of very little or no consequence. To diffuse the issue we are offered the explanation that Cyril did not know who owned the plane. So that makes it all right then. We can all go to sleep now and stop worrying whether Cyril knew or not. Five Million Rand charter plane, keeping it in the family, Cyril ignorant of the ownership, but Nosiviwe knew. Or did she?

Edward Mahlomola Mokhoanatse, the president of ANA, is the guy who it looks like is taking the Springbok rugby team's world cup bid and making it into his publicity stunt, aimed at boosting his "hardly-ever-heard-of" political party into the limelight. What was he occupying his intellect with up until this point? Tying his shoelaces? So much time has passed that it makes the timing of his court action dubious.

However there are much more important issues out there and the one I worry about the most is the mess that Victoria Nuland made in Ukraine. You see as the Assistant Secretary of State, an Obommer minion, Victoria, or Toria as she is affectionately known [sic] no I mean sick, not, she went about orchestrating the coup that dethroned the democratically elected president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, and brilliantly sold it to the world as democracy. The meadia swallowed, it was not hard, it went down easy, there were a few distractions. The most worrying thing is the fact that America was ready to drop a nuke on Afghanistan over the nine eleven alleged hoax. They were ready to do it. So my concern is, what are they prepared to do over this issue? Violence erupted in Kiev again after their new puppet president started changing the constitution to suit his masters.

The fact that the puppets army is allegedly made up of neo-Nazi militia and Islamic Jihadists aligning themselves to IS, and now threatening the puppet and his masters is just the outline of what a horrible mess Victoria has made.

And all the while Obama is trying to push through the nuclear deal with Iran that will lift billions of dollars of crippling sanctions on the struggling nation. Some say it will be the end of Israel, some say it will be the beginning of peace in the middle east while others say it will set off a nuclear war in Europe. I know which one will make the most dollars.
