Cover up coming
First we have a new kid on the scene, mouthing off about how he has the interest of the country at heart. He gets his desired appointment, then the proverbial shit hits the fan. The media finds out he lives well beyond his means, with no plausible explanation offered. The spin doctors then say it is nonsense. But after some digging, some not-too-clean-activities and funds are uncovered. Then the same supporters say everything is above board and done procedurally. They fight back and ask why must this politician always be the subject of scrutiny; it must be a racist plot. Later we will probably find that there was plenty of truth in the allegations of corruption, but, of course, we will have to blame it on apartheid and what it did to people. This repertoire of music sung everytime evil deeds are performed that says, white people are to blame and that they too ate in the time of apartheid is so repertitive and nausiating. We can't change the past but we can build a brighter future...one of the moral compass that Tata Mandela has left as a legacy. I'm not condoning what the apartheid regime has done to us black people, but, I'm condemning it for the culture of thinking characterised by "everybody is doing it" it has created to us as Black people. For sure Julius Malema's income should be investigated, if only because he doesn't seem to have an educated backround, which is clearly audible when he opens his big, arrogant mouth. If his income is legal, how he spends it is no concern of anyone's but he then should help some of the people he wants us to think he "respects". His idiotic shouting and screaming should not be publicised because we hear plenty of rubbish from his boss.
