Competent?

Our minister of Energy, Buyelewa Sonjica (photo), got the wrong message from cabinet or she did not understand what was possibly said at a cabinet meeting. Maybe the lame-duck president told his comrades in cabinet to become more visible in terms of efficiency and deliverance of services and goods. Being of the same lack of intellectual capacity as for instance our minister of health, the minister of Energy did not have the slightest idea what the boss meant and was too engrossed in thoughts about things ideology than service-rendering to the nation, that she picked up on these thoughts when she made a complete fool of herself in Parliament by uttering the most stupid thing that could have been said by a person in her position. Yes, our honourable minister reckoned the skin colour of the people working at Eskom should enjoy priority over their abilities to do the job. In the meantime, she insinuated, the country can go to the dogs for all she and her boss (the lame duck remember, because after all he appointed her) could care. Minister, you are an embarrassment to this country and you have securely positioned yourself in the same camp as some other brainless creatures who wear the title of cabinet minister and enjoy all the luxuries that go with it but haven't got a clue what it means to accept responsibility for mistakes made and also believe that only black South Africans can be patriotic. To me that is blatant racism that has nothing to do with so-called affirmative action.
