What is the issue

What is the issue

A comedian couldn't make this stuff up. The human race is hilarious. I mean look at our Minister of Police, Fakile Mbalula, he was quoted as saying "Education and intelligence are not a must, to run a country." What pray was he implying Was he speaking of our president "Education and intelligence are not a must. One can be a president without the two. Look, zuma has managed to lead the country for years now and he is not educated or even intelligent. So, why remove him all of a sudden " I'm on the floor.

Our constitution has failed us, I was told so many times how wonderful our constitution is, but look at it now. It cannot even protect the poorest of the poor people from a rogue president.

News that Jacob was asked by the ANC's ethics committee to step down, and he refused, just adds to the delusion we are suffering under. It does not take an education or intelligence to see that our beloved country is now being looted. The main tool being used are the State Owned Enterprises, and it must be Gupta thinking that the ruling party kind of owns the state, Jacob kind of owns the ruling party, so they own Jacob and in turn they own the State Owned Enterprises. There goes Eskom, Transnet, our Passenger Rail Company of SA, the SABC, our national airline SAA, a handful of water reticulation companies and the latest allegations, our arms and armaments company Denel.

Reports are surfacing everywhere, one News24 columnist wrote "It (our constitution) has failed to protect us from a president who is a traitor to his country and people. Not only is Zuma looting the country, but he is also giving away military patents to India through the Guptas and Denel." Eskom leads the way postponing their financial results indefinitely.

One friend of mine, frothing at the mouth, said half in English, half in Zulu, that anyone who watched the Gupta TV channel, or read their newspaper, was a traitor to the people of South Africa. I was taken aback by the strong language he used.

But we are just a microcosm of the world picture. Look at the latest G20 summit. I would love to have been a fly on the wall at that meeting. Is it just me or was that bunch of weirdoes representing World Leadership, the quirkiest, most juvenile, insipid collection of losers we have ever seen gathered in one place at one time Maybe it's just me, but then I worry about things like the US and NATO deploying Patriot anti-aircraft systems in the Baltic states. A war exercise that deploys 500 troops and 30 air defence systems in Lithuania. Hey everybody, America is coming to protect Lithuania! Yipee. After the NATO and US backed coup in the Ukraine failed to meet with unchallenged acceptance, the war mongering heathen seem to know no end to their insatiable greed. The absurdity of the headlines should have every cynic choking to death on sarcastic laughter.
