The General Public Has Been Forgotten
All you have to do is consider the absolutely poor record of the ANC and Ramaphosa regarding the success, or lack thereof, when it comes to commissions of inquiry! Yet, the general public and private sector are completely left in the dark, and we have a big-talking president who refuses to answer questions or even be scrutinized!
Not only was Ramaphosa implicated in 2 other major scandals, Marikana and Phala Phala, but he was second in charge under Jacob Zuma when State capture version 1 took place. Now we have State Capture A’la Cupcake! The ANC president has seemingly built around him an impenetrable, bulletproof layer of protection, which consists of the police, the judiciary, his own cadres (at least some of them), the media and even other political parties who are too damn scared to ruffle any feathers! The unfortunate result of all of this is the South Africa that we see before us today—a broken-down, tired and failed state, captured by the Black ‘untouchable’ elites who pretended for 30 years to care about their own people, yet lied to them, abused them and used their votes to get into positions of immense power!
One thing we must admit about Ramaphosa is that he is a very good pretender, almost unmatched in his ability to use a plethora of fancy words, which land ever so softly on the ears of South Africans, as he seeks to lull us into a slumber of forgetting about his rather serious sins and acts of impunity! Ask President Trump; he almost fell for it! In the White House! Ramaphosa, the biggest BEE beneficiary of them all, was very clever to use his White friends, Steenhuisen and Johan Rupert, along with golfers Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, to soften the inevitable blow caused by Trump’s brilliant tactic to play the infamous ‘Kill the Boer’ song by Malema. It was like watching a horror movie for Ramaphosa, but he handled it so well, with his usual dismissive style, pretending that everything is okay and that he has everything under control, whilst literally wiping the sweat from his forehead! Shame! Poor guy!
The message in all of this is that we as a nation of Black, White, Indian and Coloured people need to seriously put our differences aside now and condemn this useless government of ours, which is led by the man himself, the man of empty words and multiple broken promises—the one who promised to build ‘smart cities’ and ‘bullet trains’, to eradicate corruption, end state capture and stop GBV! Oh, how naked the emperor now stands! And he is shameless! Nothing fazes this man anymore! Nobody can insult him or question him, and nobody can take him seriously or expect anything from him. He simply doesn’t act! On anything!
You, me, the public… we have absolutely no say in the matter! We are simply brushed aside, expected to keep quiet and not question any decisions, and we have no chance of ever having a public debate on matters such as farm murders, rural security, BEE, education, poor service delivery or even how much we pay for electricity or how many ministers are being employed so frivolously with our tax money! Even decisions such as vaccinating our livestock or forcing us to eventually have a digital ID is a very serious, nefarious and communistic agenda! We didn’t ask for COVID jabs or mask mandates in 2020! We didn’t ask for Ramaphosa to be president! Nor have we been allowed to open our own businesses without eventually giving half of it away to incompetent, inexperienced individuals, watching our very dreams of running a successful family business get stolen before our very eyes by people who don’t deserve it and who don’t really care about the bottom line. It’s a shame! Enough is enough! Is this really a democracy?
