So today I was finding myself laughing
about the direction politics is taking in our beloved country… cry the beloved
country… cry the children of Africa (I actually wrote an article with the
latter as title so watch it plagiarisers)… cry cry cry. Let’s cry “FOUL”. So
here’s a little dialogue in my head between the ANC (ruling party) and DA
opposition party.
DA: Nelson Mandela fought for freedom and
rights. He stood for peace and integrity. He dreamt of a country where all can
co-exist and love one another without grudges and vengeance. He wanted
reconciliation and a beautiful rainbow nation that will move forward and be an example
to other nations. Hey!!! That is what we want too!!
ANC: Who does the stupid antirevolutionist
Democratic Alliance (DA Party) think they are “stealing our beloved Madiba”???
We fought so hard to create him, he is ours! We bought him! He is our property!
Our label (emblem) consists of green and gold – resembling land and mineral
wealth. What the heck?
DA: That is irrelevant. Madiba is a global
icon. He belongs to everyone.
Madiba: Excuse me? Am I an object?
ANC: This is the lowest the DA
antirevolutionist movement has ever stooped. How dare they compare us to the apartheid
regime.
DA: Its photos…. The photos show the same
thing between now and years ago. The ANC is a black NP.
ANC: FOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
DA: What? It’s true?
ANC: Luister djy nou vir my, djy wat da so
lêkker opi haai tjêr sit en denk djy roel die KAAP! Ons gattie flippen KAAP
onreggeerbaar mak as djy nie nou ophou met djou gelieg en gebedrieg nie!
DA: FOUL!!!!! Haai Chair? Haai Stoel? Ons
het alles in ons vermoens gedoen om die Kaapse waters veilig te maak vir
surfers. Moenie nou kom met onwaar haai stories nie. We offer shark cage diving
only here and there. Go do your work Fransman! Focus and stop changing the
subject or try to distract people from the failures of your party
ANC: Flip dit! If that is your attitude we
will BURN IT DOWN!!!
DA: Burn what down?
ANC: The Gautrain, the Winelands, the
Houses, the Libraries, the Schools, the Mayors’ house.
DA: What about the buses and trains?
ANC: YES! Those too!
DA: Do it!
ANC: What?
DA: Do it! We need more pictures for our
campaign.
ANC: No ways! You want to steal what we do
and use it against us???? FOUL!!!
