Mzansi is miffed at US President Donald Trump.
Over the previous two-to-three months, Trump (and Elon Musk) had offended the cr*p out of our ailing, flailing, kakistocracy when he mentioned, “Horrible harmful issues are taking place in South Africa.”
“What-what-whaaat..???” Was the nationwide response, particularly from the pseudo-liberal, virtue-signalling “woke” far left – and their servile, sycophantic, sock-puppet media.
“What on earth might he probably imply?” They mentioned, with self-righteous indignation. “Trump is simply jealous of our freedom. Envious of our fancy schmancy “subtle’ constitutional democracy. He resents our totally reconciled and built-in groovy rainbow nation, residing in excellent, blissful, utopian…concord.” They (principally) mentioned.
TRUMP AND MUSK PUT THE WORLD’S SPOTLIGHT ON SA
Then, Trump and Musk put a world highlight on the ANC’s recurring corruption and “racist” legal guidelines, Malema’s diabolical ditty, and the so-called “legendary” white farmer genocide.
Once more, the response by our authorities and far of the nation was, “How DARE he! How DARE Trump solid aspersions on our marvellous Mzansi! You scoundrel, Mr President! You rascal! You bloody agent!”
Trump adopted up by whacking SA with harsh tariffs and sanctions on our authorities – partly due to these “horrible issues” taking place in our nation.
The ANC doubled down. “There are NO horrible, harmful issues taking place in South Africa!” They insisted.
Actually…?
Are you all affected by some kinda collective mass amnesia? Did the jab wipe your reminiscence clear?
You wanna know what Trump – and everyone on the planet who agrees with him – imply by “horrible, harmful issues”…?
Right here’s a fast reminder…
SYSTEMIC GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION AND INCOMPETENCE
Let’s begin with the foundation of the issue.
Widespread, systemic, endemic, authorities corruption and gross incompetence – with impunity and nil accountability.
On 20 March 2024, British journalist Doug Murray was interviewed by Sky Information Auz after his go to to SA. He advised them, “The large potential in SA has been wasted by the federal government, which is so unbelievably corrupt – on a scale that simply boggles the thoughts. They’ve spent and spilt it in completely unforgivable methods.”
Is he mistaken..?
Inform me, precisely what number of extended, drawn-out, corruption scandals have the ANC been embroiled in since they got here to energy in ’94? I’ve misplaced depend, way back.
From the Arms Deal (“Strategic Defence Bundle”) to Eskom, SAA, Transnet, Publish Workplace, DWS and Bosasa. From Gangster State to State Seize. To not point out the a whole lot of bankrupt municipalities throughout the nation. It’s been one, large, embarrassing, scandalous, authorities corruption disaster after one other.
And the place’s the accountability? The place are the arrests? Prosecutions? And perps in orange overalls?
We spent virtually a billion on the Zondo Fee of Inquiry into State Seize. The ultimate instalment of the report was submitted virtually three years in the past in June 2022. What’s the standing of the investigations?
All these excellent corruption circumstances, and…no arrests, no prosecutions, no jail time (nicely, not more than an hour or so) and no justice.
I assume the Hawks and NPA are too busy concocting trumped-up treason fees towards Afriforum for choosing their noses within the Mandela Museum, or one thing.
In line with a report by the NPA and Each day Maverick, State Seize below the Zuma administration has price this nation at the least R1.5 trillion. It allegedly worn out a 3rd of our GDP in 2019.
Take into consideration that…let it sink in. Then take into consideration what we might’ve performed for the poor with all that cash.
RAMPANT VIOLENT CRIME, GBV AND CHILD ABUSE
Did you hear? South Africa was simply rated fifth on an inventory of the highest 25 most unsafe international locations to go to. We’re additionally essentially the most harmful nation to go to in all of Africa.
Gee…I’m wondering why? Suppose it might have one thing to do with our shockingly excessive crime stats?
Do you know that every day, on this nation, on common greater than 70 individuals are murdered, and 120 are raped? Do you know we even have a pandemic of kid rape/homicide/abuse and trafficking?
Over the previous six years, 100 000 baby rape circumstances and 22,000 sexual assault circumstances involving kids have been reported. In 2024 alone greater than 2700 kids between 10 and 14 had been impregnated – a stat which might be linked to the alarming improve in toddler abandonment, the place 1000’s of new child infants are being discovered – lifeless and alive – in fields, drains, bogs and rubbish dumps yearly.
We additionally nonetheless have a outstanding gangster drawback all through the nation, significantly on the Cape Flats. After all, linked to the gangs and syndicates are every kind of different crimes – from drug dealing to robberies and CIT heists, kidnapping and extortion, human trafficking, a violent minibus taxi mafia and quickly rising white-collar and cybercrime.
And who’s going to cease them? Our largely incompetent, under-equipped and decidedly corrupt police pressure? Our underfunded and unfit SANDF who couldn’t spherical up just a few gangs on the Cape Flats?
THE TINDERBOX OF MASS POVERTY AND UNEMPLOYMENT
In line with stats, greater than 50% of the nation is impoverished and struggling to place meals on the desk. They’re doubtless residing in a shack in a township, with out common entry to water and electrical energy, and judging by the rubbish that’s piling up in every single place, they’re experiencing little to no service supply.
The present unemployment ranges are sitting at simply over 30%, with youth unemployment at almost 60%. This implies now we have hundreds of thousands of impoverished, disenfranchised, determined, annoyed, indignant younger males – of preventing age – sitting round with nothing to do however twiddle their thumbs on idle palms. (And what they are saying about idle palms…and the satan.)
Proper there, between these two statistics – poverty and unemployment – what I name that? A ticking timebomb. A tinderbox. The proverbial powder keg.
All it takes is the suitable spark, like the suitable tweet on the proper time, from the mistaken individual (assume Duduzile or Juju) and we might have one other rebellion that makes July 2021 seem like the EFF trashing a Clicks retailer.
NOT time to be squeezing the poor with extra taxes or a VAT improve.
Why can we nonetheless have such excessive ranges of unemployment and poverty? Identical cause now we have rolling blackouts, water shortages and quite a few failed parastatals and municipalities.
As a result of there’s no cash to repair any of it.
Why is there no cash…?
Effectively, as a result of your leaders embezzled, squandered and simply outright stole our taxpayer cash, purchased themselves mansions and sports activities vehicles, flew firstclass all over the world on prolonged holidays and pretend enterprise journeys, sipped the best champagne and single malt scotch…and spent sh*tloads of money on actually truckloads of KFC.
Oh, there’s service supply, all proper…in five-star lodges and swanky eating places on your leaders. NOT for you.
You and your loved ones simply get to sit down at the hours of darkness, with out water, listening to your rumbling tummies, with the stench of sewerage hanging within the air.
THE POWER AND WATER CRISIS
I’ve had virtually no fixed water for the previous few months, how about you? We’ve had common, transient water cuts since October final yr, however since round February, it’s ramped as much as at the least 10-12 hours a day of dry faucets. And it doesn’t matter how a lot it rains, the water infrequently reaches us.
I additionally nonetheless get common energy cuts – between the scheduled rolling blackouts. The cuts are so frequently timed you might virtually set your watch to them. But, we’re advised it’s simply spontaneous, random, unpredictable “upkeep issues” BETWEEN load shedding.
Give it some thought…the ANC actually plunged us into darkness. Fairly the visible metaphor, huh..?
Watching Cyril Ramaphosa’s SONA speech this yr, there was some extent the place I actually threw up in my mouth a bit bit. When he obtained to the half about his plans to repair Eskom and finish load-shedding. What number of occasions, at what number of SONAs have we heard THAT earlier than? What occurred to the Eskom “Conflict Room” (as Piet Groenewald requested) arrange years in the past to finish load-shedding?
You realize, I’m no politician…however I’m fairly positive that whenever you’ve reached the purpose, as a authorities, the place you may not hold the lights on or the water flowing…you might have failed your mandate – and the folks. I imply, you’d assume sustaining water and lights could be like A1-01 within the Dummies Information to Good Governance handbook…proper?
When you can’t pull off one thing as rudimentary, important and easy as that, then you might be NOT…FIT…TO GOVERN. And the one honourable factor to do now’s step apart, or step down…and let some get together extra competent, certified, skilled, moral and fiscally disciplined take the reigns.
You are able to do it the straightforward means, or we will do it the onerous means.
CONGRATS, ANC, YOU DID IT!
Now, take onerous take a look at that 30-year legacy…and provides them a hand, of us.
(Sluggish clap)
Congrats, ANC…you probably did it! You fulfilled each single African tinpot, despot stereotype we had been warned about by the previous regime. And by the likes of Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and the remainder of the Western political institution.
They mentioned you had been going to f**okay this nation up, six-luv, and also you’ve proved them proper. That’s not me saying it…your personal individuals are saying it.
And also you marvel why you’ve simply been sanctioned by the US authorities?
Rob Hersov is lifeless proper, you had it coming.
Extra dangerous information, baba. Sanctions are just the start…
BEWARE THOSE DREADED, OMINOUS, TWO WORDS…
You want to put together your self, ANC… as a result of little doubt, fairly quickly, you’re going to be listening to these two infamous, ominous, dreaded phrases popping out of the US…and the remainder of the West. Popping out of Washington, London, Paris, Berlin and Brussels. These two phrases that strike terror into the hearts of “dictators, rogue states and tyrannical regimes” (within the eyes of the West) the world over.
And people two phrases are: “Misplaced…Legitimacy”.
Sure. “The ANC has lastly misplaced legitimacy”, they’ll say. “Time for a alternative. Time to step down”, They’ll demand. Over and again and again.
When you hear these two phrases being utilized by the West, that’s when it’s formally time to start out cr*pping yourselves, comrades, and packing your luggage.
Why?
You wanna know what follows these two phrases..? Ask Saddam Hussein. Ask Gaddafi. Ask Assad. To call just a few. It’s known as Regime Change. And it’s coming, boet.
Did you assume nobody was watching? Did you neglect? It’s a world village now.
The entire WORLD is watching.
The get together’s over, comrade.
