Hope is not enough, it doesn't put bread on the table

I always enjoy when people share their opinions, but... {here goes the reply to this post from D}

It is great and all to hope that South Africa's leaders will one day stand tall like their American counterparts, but lets face it, it is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN if it is the current government. It is a nice little dream to hope that some of "Obama's magic" will rub off on our money-loving-pocket-lining-nepotistic-liars-(you get my drift). The reality is, if they can't learn from people like Mandela and Tutu even, how the hell will they learn from other people living on another continent?

So anyway, hope is not enough. You can't eat hope, sleep under it or buy anything with it. I want to see results. Change. Not hope for it.

About our dear president complaining that his privacy is being invaded:

Hey Mr President, it is me, one of the poor idiots paying your exorbitant salary for sitting on your thumb and regurgitating crap. If you don't want people to talk about your private life, don't do something you should be ashamed of! People aren't interested in people that do no wrong. Unfortunately what you do and say influence the already weak rand - so deal with being in the spotlight. You wanted the job (and money)...

I particularly enjoyed Noeleen's show (yes, I sometimes tune in if there is something interesting) this week with some guy from the ANC spewing some nonsense over the air. I also like that chick with the painted face's expression when she thought the same as me. Gareth Cliff - go boy!

Now my favourite... That guy with legal woes

Zuma, may your trial go well, you get prosecuted for your illegal operations. May you get a jail sentence and get to know Bubba.

Unfortunately the reality is that South Africa's legal system is up to **** and he won't even get a slap on the wrist.

About having more than 1 wife in South Africa:

I don't give a damn that it is ok in some cultures to have more than 1 wife... if you live in South Africa, you fall under South African law. What applies to one applies to all.

Click on this Home Affairs link about marriage in South Africa. I quote: "Persons already married. Bigamy is a punishable offence in South Africa. Such marriages are also null and void in our law." I say, prosecute those with more than 1 wife - else I demand to have R1 000 000 deposited in my account!
