I love South African politics

[MajGenl.Meade]

Lots of problems in various places - whole (black) communities without water due to shoddy pipe materials (all will be fixed by 2013 - just don't get thirsty). Reservoirs empty and rains not cooperating; pumps breaking down; budgets disappearing.

But we fear not because here in the New South Africa we have Mr. Collins Chabane who is the Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Minister. No empty title that. Mr. Chabane has just forcefully persuaded the Cabinet Lekgotla (meeting) to agree to a new strategy on water and sanitation.

Here it is:

Mr. Chabane's report "called on government to strengthen impementation and enhance the localisation programme for components and supplies of infrastructure inputs"

Put that in your potje and boil it!

The miracle of South African politics is that the animal brutality of the apartheid regime was not replaced by its mirror image.


As most of human history would suggest.


W/O the saintly Mandela it would have done.

Be patient, your problem is that you are not pessimistic enough. You can always depend on people; if there is a way to get something for nothing they will figure out a way to do it.

Isn't it fascinating how some people judge other people's motivations by their own?

I have never tried to get something for nothing; I even paid my state income tax when I could have legally gotten out of it.
