Another newspaper headline yesterday, robber gets killed thinking Muthi will make him invincible and invisible.
Black men with aids, still believe that having sex with a newborn baby will cure them from this disease.
100's of black youngsters dying each and every year at initiation school due to idiots impersonating witch doctors, with no experience whatsoever, who use the same blunt dirty knife or axe on each young man, leading to infection and death.
1000's of black people dying every year from people impersonating Sangomas and asking for thousands of rands from young and retired people, life savings in some instances, or R2 000 a visit, only to be given aspirin, battery acid, common everyday medicine from your chemist the heal them.
"Qualified" pastors spraying their congregation with Doom to help their husband stop having an affair, or to heal some dreaded disease.
"Qualified" pastors making their congregation lie on the floor and have vehicles ride over their bodies, to prove that they can be healed.
Here are just some examples, of what I think, the government could have improved on, after more than 20 years in power. Educating the uneducated........going to the villages, the townships, the shacks, the rural dwellings to ensure schools are built, teachers are really teaching. The last count resulted in 1000's of ghost teachers being paid a monthly salary, and they never ever existed. That money could have made a huge difference to the people of SA.
Zuma likes the fact that people don't or can't read, because he will lose more votes every year when people can actually conceive what that article in the newspaper is saying about him.
What about our 9 municipalities that are now having their electricity shut off and restricted every day because of non-compliance regarding millions and millions of outstanding debt.
So much so that those businesses in those towns (Who did pay over their rates and taxes every month) have now been massively affected due to limited and restricted power during the day and night, until that municipality has paid back in full.
Has anyone been held accountable for this?
Nkandla is and was a disgrace, thousands of education grants, schools, infrastructure could have benefitted from this money. The Gupta's..... lets not even go there...... the arms deal..... Shabir Shaik......Jackie Selebi....... Malema......
You want your country to improve with a president who thinks that taking a shower, after raping a woman with aids, will rid him of that aids virus, or an ex president and health minister who professed to everyone that would listen, that eating garlic and beetroot will also rid you of aids.
How about the minister from last year, who complained publicly about our water crisis that the white people built all the catchment dams too big... long ago, so it takes too long to fill up these big dams with water, and that the clever white people should have made all the dams smaller so they could fill up quicker when it rains.
This is an educated person in my opinion...... surely.... she is a minister, in fact, they all are.... with "degrees".
What about the other minister who was gifted a farm and who left all her animals on her farm for weeks without food or water, and they all suffered a horrendous death, as reported on Carte Blanche
And all of this is still happening....... because of apartheid.
People with degrees...... life experience........ world experience......... doctorates......masters degrees........have run this country for over 20 years now, yet we still have people believing that if they take Muthi made from the private parts of newborn babies, as well as the eyes and ears...... this will make him invisible to any other human on the planet.
Apartheid was an absolute and utter disgrace, and it deserves the hate and contempt that it got from people in South Africa and everywhere around the world.
But it is NOT the reason why everything is so horribly wrong in South Africa today, and it is about time that black people admit that and accept it.
Enough said........
