JAYNE WITH A WHY


My life has endured some drastic changes over the past 5yrs. I've moved continents, moved countries, lost my partner in life, lost my dogs, lost the bikes & no doubt about it, lost more than a few marbles along the way. I'm fucked up but valiantly fighting off sanity, which snaps at my heels at regular intervals. I swear a lot. Tell someone who cares.

BACK IN YER BOX, BOY.





The brilliant South African cartoonist Zapiro couldn't have captured a better likeness of Julius Malema - the head of the ANCYL (African National Congress Youth League) - if he tried. What Malema normally spouts can easily be understood as pure crap, so the toilet roll is very apt.
In the past few weeks, many South Africans have asked "Why doesn't (President) Zuma rap Malema over the knuckles?" but no answer has been forthcoming. Since Zuma's recent State of the Nation address on TV, way too many people are seriously wondering what the hell is going on with this country. It appears as though we have a President who would fuck a snake if it had armpits. The silence, denial & then admittance of having another child 'out of wedlock' (like that means anything!) was hastily brushed under the dung floor in El Presidenti's kraal. Shit happens folks - our leader has five wives & at the last count 20 children, thinks that HIV/AIDS can be washed away with a shower after sex, but yet preaches to the masses to only have one partner & not screw around! Hey, it's alright for him - he's the President, he can do & say what he wants! And because of that, he has chosen to ignore the blatant statements of racial hatred that Julius Malema regularly spews forth.
In todays edition of the Sunday Times, journalists BUDDY NAIDU and SIMPIWE PILISO write of the newspapers investigation into how Malema - on a salary of allegedly ZAR20,000* per month - can afford to pay cash for 2 luxury houses worth an estimated ZAR4.6million. Documented proof shows that Malema co-owns a company called SGL Engineering Projects, which was awarded contracts of between ZAR500,000 & ZAR39million between 2007-2008, yet he denies any knowledge of what the company does.
"I have nothing to do with their operations. I know nothing about what is happening in SGL, where are they making their money, where do they get tenders. I know nothing about that," he said.
Really? You have no idea? Do you just receive fat payments on a regular basis & assume that the Tooth Fairy puts them in your bank account?
Malema also stated:
"There is no law that says politicians can't be businessmen. The problem with you is that when an African child is emerging and becoming successful, that is when you have a problem. That is your major problem that causes you sleepless nights.

"You want to see us dying in poverty. That is what you are committed to."

Well no, you stupid boy, you are so very wrong. What the people actually want to know is how come the company that you co-own is being awarded lucrative contracts from various municipalities within Limpopo Province? What people want to know is why do you insinuate that because you are 'African' you are entitled to succeed? What people want to know is how come you buy luxury houses - without 'knowing' where your money comes from, whilst a vast majority of hard-working 'Africans' can barely afford to put food on the table for their families?
Don't think that all of your fellow countrymen over the age of 40yrs agree with your egotistical unification of "us", because by your determination, "us" means black. You seem to take great pleasure in undoing everything that Nelson Mandela worked so incredibly hard to achieve - a multi-ethnic country where colour is irrelevant. Sadly, Madiba no longer holds the power to reign you in.
Sadly, it appears Zuma is too busy on his ever expanding domestic front to deal with you.
Personally, I sincerely hope that someone cuts you short & brings you back down to earth with an almighty bump. Perhaps you should remind yourself of the 'radicals' within the ruling party who never got to see their next birthday, because they had an agenda all of their own. I'm bloody sure the ANC has it's own FIFO system & at the rate your going boy, it won't be too long before you're told to fuck off.
