OPINION: Meeting of the minds
"Obviously these people in the upper echelons of management do not go home to a dark house and without water."
We need to have more lekgotlas arranged at expensive conference centres, where the attendees are feted in the finest wines and dined on the fattest lobster tails.
Seems these events draw together the brightest minds in the land and truly wondrous theories, regarding the problems in our country, are released to the struggling citizens. Last week or so, our number one leader declared that the Eskom shortcoming was preventing overseas investment in our land and that local businesses were struggling.
Now this weekend, our ex-football protagonist states that they realise that there is a problem with Eskom and great minds are applying themselves in order to remedy the problem. Duh! You only see that now? Obviously these people in the upper echelons of management do not go home to a dark house and without water. Thank goodness for having connections to arrange for a water tanker to be parked at the house and a large salary to pay for petrol for the generator. Life at the top must be bliss! Pity that the people for whom the prize those years ago was physical freedom, are now not free from the constraints of having limited and controlled electricity supply and no water in the taps.
Batho pele! Batho pele! Where are you now? Do they care? Nope!
