What is the issue

What is the issue

"We are saying to them we have made mistakes in the past, but we are in the process of renewal and everybody must embrace this renewal to build the country and grow the economy." ANC national executive committee member Dipuo Letsatsi-Dubauttered these words, hoping to make the poor voters believe that in fact, hundreds of billions of Rands plundered, squandered, scurried away, mismanaged, dispersed into the nether regions of Dubai and India, was all but a simple mistake. That's a leap of faith if ever there was one.

All the while the so called leadership of the ANC present the very same cadres that have been fingered with allegations that include treason, onto their list of candidates to take this country forward. That requires a little more than a leap of faith I imagine. So many of us will be convinced.

Carrying on in the style that we have become accustomed, Florence Radzilani the former executive mayor of Vhembe municipality is apparently suing Terry Motau SC for R38 - million because he fingered her in the VBS bank heist as having cried for a "Christmas" after she received only R300 000, which by her standards was far too little. They were dishing out the cash like candy at a fete. It's laughable, you have to read it, we can't make this stuff up ever. The political debate is hotting up here in SA, people are getting heated and immersed in the bullshlaka of it all.

Meanwhile they're slaughtering Christians in the Nigerian Middle Belt, and the blame has been laid at Fulani herdsmen feet. "They want to strike Christians," said Bishop Audu, "and the government does nothing to stop them, because President Buhari is also of the Fulani ethnic group." Politics is not a very nice thing, the more I see, the more I want to puke.

Well, we are starting to try and claw back some of the money that was freely distributed, the Public Investment Corporation has been given more time to try and recoup the R4,3 billion that was willy nilly invested into Ayo Investments. Then there's the R3 billion invested in Sagarmatha Technologies, gees like, where was I when the money was being dished out like this. I have an investment company I can consume billions with, (actually I don't but that shouldn't matter the way things are carrying on). Apparently Iqbal SurvÈ was to be spared the embarrasment of the deal not being successful and so our money was squandered some more.

If you need a wake-up call, then listen to Magnus Heystek who recently pointed out that our national debt is now standing at a whopping three trillion and twelve billion and five hundred and twenty five million and one hundred and forty seven thousand and three Rands. Bet Jacob couldn't read that number if you paid him. What that means is that each and every South African Citizen now owes R55 276 000.00. Now go earn that.
