Let's Cry Foul

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!!!
