Why did the De la Rey song about the Boer War elicit such a strong response from South Africans, particularly the Afrikaans speaking people? After watching this 2-part video, you may understand.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Jon Qwelane:

Somehow, government leaders always have the temerity to "reassure" overseas countries that everything in South Africa is hunky-dory and all the negative things reported about the country are the work of whiners and disaffected white people hankering after a return of apartheid rule and people unhappy about blacks ruling the country!

Corruption in this country is at an all-time high, and anyone who tries to excuse or somehow condone government complicity is simply being dishonest in the extreme.

Here is an example of this type of rampant corruption for which there are existing remedies in law, but the trouble is that the police themselves are deeply implicated by their criminal deeds.

The Mpumalanga provincial government has just blown R1,45m on a party to celebrate its new 2010 stadium.

That is a crying shame, and one more example why the ANC is not the right crowd to rule this country.

Contrast this wastefulness with the R300 000 which Durban spent on a similar party for its much bigger stadium and with the very modest R35 000 spent by Cape Town.

At any rate, why is there a need to celebrate the construction - not opening - of stadiums?
