governance

As I was handing the car guard R3,75 I casually asked him what he thought of the changes in South African politics. His answer was unexpectedly candid:

“Manee, die politicians is ammal mal. Hille baklei wragtag soe ori stoel innie palimint, wat hille ni eens ka saam vattie as hille vrekkie. Ek vi hille stem... ek issie mallie. Dey bring me no joy and no hope!” (Mister, the politicians are all mad. Mind you, they fight over a chair in parliament which they can’t even take with them when they die. I vote for them? I’m not mad).
