Why Council should employ MMA guys to enforce the by-laws

It must be the gale force winds, the freezing mornings, the blustery days but there is certainly madness in the air.
The week that was makes for a script only Stephen King could concoct.

Three hundred cannibals confess to their lust for human flesh in Estcourt, a Danish national charged for mutilating women and storing their genitals, fires and wind ravage the area, the rates bills issued in Endumeni read like a horror story and then, just to ensure Dundee gets ahead of the chasing pack, there is a hawker down town who calmly sprays Doom over the raw meat he is selling.

Oh, yes, there was also a Council meeting and we have another new acting municipal manager. All we need now is someone to dust off the by-laws and start implementing them. Maybe get a few MMA guys disguised as traffic cops and let them loose in Endumeni. Then of course we had the mixed martial arts (MMA) Irish guy take on Money Mayweather in Vegas. And many got up on a drizzly Sunday before dawn to watch. It was worth it – just for Conor’s interview after the fight. I wonder when the movie is coming out? And then there is all the drama at schools – thankfully our local schools have avoided the worst of these dramas – when there has been bullying, racism and fist fights. Why is the guy videoing the whole thing on a cellphone never hit? Maybe he/she has diplomatic immunity.

Then you have those people – locals – too who fall for some chat up on WhatsApp and end up sending exotic photographs of themselves to people who may, or may not, exist. As technology increases at an ever racing speed, we seem to get less cleverer (yes, that is a word). We seem to be able to do anything – take out brains, hearts, legs, send people to other universes – but cannot do anything about common decency or common sense.

Maybe the arrival of Spring, purportedly on September 1, will herald some kind of fresh beginning and people will stop making people cry. We can only hope.
