How to be famous in SA
Steve Hofmeyer is like an oil stain on your driveway.
Brian doesn’t feel like politics or local issues this week. Let’s talk about that Jurassic world movie instead! That was some really amazing dinosaur fighting action. I went to go watch it on father’s day which is a very appropriate movie to go see with your dad because what man does not enjoy seeing dinosaurs being dinosaurs, plus kids just love-em as well.
Anyway went to go see an action movie and I noticed that a lot of people were going to see the Steve Hofmeyer movie called Treurgrond. Apparently it deals with the serious issue of farm murders and also apparently Steve completely botched it up. Local reviewers panned the movie for handling the topic in such a bad way. I have not seen the movie but having Steve’s reputation attached to it is the only reason I have not gone to see it. I can only imagine that for others it is the only reason they did go and see it.
Steve Hofmeyer is like an oil stain on your driveway. As soon as you see it you grunt and get angry because you know what a hassle it will be to try and clean. O boy do you try! After many failed attempts the only victory you have achieved is cleaning the rest of your driveway so thoroughly the oil stain is only more visible. After months of rain and corrosion does the stain start to grow paler and smaller?
Steve is that persistent stain on the driveway of South Africa that just keeps sticking no matter who tries it to clean his act up. I do not agree with what he says, I do not agree with what a lot of people are saying about a lot of things in his country but he is not a politician with an agenda or policy to enforce. Why should he be associated with controversial issues like race, or apartheid blaming others for our past…what? He is trying to get into politics? Brian has just informed me that Steve is in fact aiming for a political career.
Forget everything I just said, He is most likely adopting the winning formula with Julias Malema: Step 1: become famous, step 2: be accused of a corruption and or sex scandal, step 3: speak out sharply about equality, and or apartheid, step 4: apply for office or start your own political party and lastly step 5: sit back and let all the negative media coverage sling shot you into the presidential office or at the very least a few dozen seats in parliament.
Darn, now I wasted all the time on Steve I forgot to talk about the awesome dinosaurs!
