I made a joke some letters back, that it was mooted that geologists attended courses on the correct use of colouring pencils, for when they produced hand drawn fair copies of their fieldwork.
But a joke, of course, before I have Brunton compasses whizzing past my head.
I heard a recent interview, on radio, with the minister of water and sanitation, in which he was being questioned about how the problems with water delivery in Phoenix and surrounds, were to be addressed.
Well, if BS baffles brains, his diatribe would have won first prize with two gold stars.
Talk about going to Johannesburg from Cape Town via Durban and then still not really getting to the crux of the matter.
I was waiting to hear him announce the results of the Lotto amongst the other stuff he was spouting.
Sir, try cutting the BS padding. Try sounding like a concerned politician. Concerned about the struggles of the people.
Maybe the struggle for politicians was to get themselves seated on the thrones and into the halls of power where the geese were laying the golden eggs?
Well, now it is time (govt has had 25 years plus) to turn your efforts to making the people happy. You have taken the last of the eggs.
The future looks a bit murky, so why not, in a last blaze of glory, look to the welfare of the people of this country.
My fellow South Africans. Batho Pele! Remember that? Batho Pele. Help for the people. Batho Pele.
