Trouble ahead

It is obvious that a lot of shit is going to hit the fan within the next 18 months in South Africa. And I am referring to the obvious conflict(s) that have started to play out after the ANC conference in Polokwane. On the one hand, for instance, you read about a forensic audit into the ANC's investment company called Chancellor House, and in this regard names like Thabo Mbeki comes up. Secondly you have the very "distasteful" happenings in Mauritius where the President of the ANC. Jacob Zuma, is trying to prevent evidence coming forward that might implicate him in alleged corrupt deals in connection with the multi-billion Rand arms contracts.

All these people walking the corridors of the Union Buildings and Luthuli House are busy with all kinds of investigations and what not, apparently with a view to discredit one another. In the meantime South Africa and its citizens is in dire straights with crime, corruption, nepotism, etc. and we need leaders to take care of these things and stop squabbling about their own selfish interests. Yes, you hear and read about so many intentions and plans to eradicate corruption but in the end nothings concrete happens.

Members of the ruling party is jostling for the best seats in the circus called South Africa. And, to play on the well-known saying about Rome burning, it can be said that while the big-wigs push and shove the circus tent is on fire.

Cry for our beloved country!
