If only i could add an emoticon, it would be that brown one that looks like a monkey that has its hands over its eyes. How fitting. But seriously now, and i think i am not alone here but of course i think different reasons would be sighted(hope this word is right, trying to be smart here, but i am sure you get the drift) for why we would not want Zuma to go. Look I am that Guy vele, the one who easily and always says he must go, yeah, and whenever there was something new like the Con Court decision, i become that guy that does not say anything but i know that many are saying, Given o boletse. So i become that Guy who is seen to be sangomic in nature and it is very nice to be right, you know what i mean.
But i am changing my mind, NO, i did not get a tender or i have not been promised anything (that emoticon again would be appropriate here). The thing is i have just landed on the word “narrative” this past week and also read somewhere that at the end of the day its all about “who’s story wins.”
Look at it this way, yes the President has admitted to some wrong doing and even apologised (emoticon inserted), but there is more to this especially if you take the time to look outside these issues. There is a clear narrative that black = corruption, or black = incompetence. The interesting thing about this now is that such thinking is made prominent by the very blacks. Give them twitter and data and you will see them going on and on with their racial suicide.
So, Russia is heavily sanctioned, Brazil which less than 2 years ago was doing very well economically is not doing well now, and then you have South Africa where we just speak of how the President must fall, and we sit there that this is our own thinking. We sit and wait for the media to tell us the agenda of the day, and then we follow with the #hashtags. I am not suggesting that what is going on is Ok, but i do think we need to always understand the forces at play. These forces have always been at play as revealed in the past two days, the involvement of the USA and the UK in the South African politics. So, could it be that all this is manufactured by the USA to try and distabilize BRICS, maybe………..I think it is.
This narrative does not put Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma as an incompetent human being, it actually says that anything that is run by black people does not work and they are corrupt. WE are all corrupt also. This may be true to some extent and we definitely have an excuse for such, but it is wrong for this message to be spread by the very same black people that are accused of such.
It is an unfortunate narrative, I think we need self love. We are a race incapable of loving itself and it is disgusting.
Jansen has fallen, and I am happy…..
