?
i have been trying very hard to focus on rainbows,...why? might you ask. my answer it is just to bothersome,to contemplate the stupidity of government. i am tired of the grey gloomy weather, we have had three weeks of non stop rain, and the power cuts get longer every day, i am just plain tired of it all. no amount of winging is going to change the situation.
when thabo mbeki took office, he pledged that he would show the world that "black men" would be capable of running a country, mr. president i do not wish to be in your shoes today, what must it feel like to rub the egg off your face?
presently we are proving all the nay sayers right, rowing down that river right into conrad's "heart of darkness". the situation is just as glum as the weather, and we were so sure that we would be the one country in africa, that was going to proove the world wrong,we need to find a working solution and fast, i don't want to do the chicken run, but heck, i certainly don't want to work my ass off either, just to watch it all go to hell in a hen basket.
so for know, i am going to enjoy the rainbow's and think only happy thoughts.
i'm sure many of you get the emails that are sent out en mass, i received two such emails today. both, had me smiling, "zedonk"(the cross between a zebra and donkey) because it was so cute, and the chillies, cause i thought "wow" wouldn't i love to put that rocket up the president's ass. or maybe essop pahad's, which might get them cracking on fixing this sinking ship, before things resemble zimbabwe on steroids.

It would be nice if it was as simple as black and white, but it isn't now, is it?
never a truer word said.
Could you forward the mail about zedonk to me at knrpadma@yahoo.com?I'd love to read it.the photograph had me smiling too.
i am not that informed about politics in za so i will keep my opinion to myself but my general regard for politicians of all hue is dismal at best. people and countries go forward inspite or despite of them at times and i think they do that by focussing like you on rainbows.
btw, are you on facebook? i am you can find me there at gulnaz.sheikh@gmail.com
