What is the issue

What is the issue

"We are big," he said, puffing himself up a little more in an almost comic way, "We are very big. You are big, but we are the biggest. We are big. We are very big. We are bigger than you because we are the biggest." By now the rambling has gone past the comic level to a point of concern, and the rambling would continue, "We are bigger than anyone. We are hugely big, ginormace. We are huge. We are hugely big. We are very very big, the biggest." It's around this point that the therapist should be trying to figure out how to administer the sedative and which horse sedative to use.

What a weekend that was, South Africans in the tennis with Kevin at Wimbledon, winning golf majors and all those Africans in the world cup.

In any event I have to talk about agent orange and his tuft of orange fluff. The way he stabbed Theresa May in the back just prior to his arrival in the UK. And then he dissed the supreme Gogo of all Gogo's and then on to Helsinki to somehow smooth a balm, a salve of calming diplomacy when meeting Putin. Two world powers and a chance of world peace Could it be possible that the one guy we never thought would amount to much becomes the guy that achieves the most. It won't be the first time that ever happened. The agreed reduction of nuclear arsenals from the two powers is a great sign of hope.

Geez I have to lay off those tranquilisers. What am I talking about How coincidental was the news about the Russian woman who was arrested and charged with spying in the US They timed that arrest and subsequent announcement to almost absolute perfection. For me I could not help conjuring up a whole tome of conspiracy ideas.

Wednesday the 18th is Nelson Mandela Day and I feel sad, he must be still turning in his grave, tossing and turning like me when I can't sleep. I don't believe he is at peace, his whole life's work being brought to wrack and ruin. His rainbow nation back at each other's throats. The greedy clutching at temporary wealth, even at the expense of the poorest and weakest amongst us. He must be crying out from his crypt with anguish and despair. What is becoming of our Rainbow Nation

News of Eskom's head of security resigning with such sudden swift decisiveness has left a few of us with our heads spinning. But if its spinning heads you want then look into the United Democratic Movement's demands that the head of the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), Dan Matjila, for allegedly using the PIC's nearly two trillion Rand fund to support a girlfriend's business.

The mind boggles, and Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene is apparently apposing the call for Dan's head. Bantu Holomisa waded in saying, "Mr president, these companies and individuals all have link/s — past and present, directly or indirectly — with the PIC. It makes for uncomfortable reading when one considers the possibility of a very complicated and opaque scheme that will put at risk the Government Employees Pension Fund."

Who can stop the looting.
