OK, so I was thinking this morning about how certain people's though patters work.

As you know there has been alot of violent strikes, folks breaking busses, ramsacking cars trains etc in the past couple of months.

In doing this, they take the following approach

• Decide on an inconvenient day to toi toi
• Arrive at toi toi and start to toi toi
• Starting getting violent and breaking shit
• Start breaking their own shit.
• Bus that is now broken, that was supposed to give them a lift home
• Complain that they dont have a lift home
• Goverment to now spend money on getting things fixed, when they should be spending it on houses for those folks who dont have houses.
• cheers.

OK they do say "could" cost a billion, but "could" also means it "could" cost 2 billion, referring to the South African Goverments new cabinet salaries for the next 5 years, that's an average of about 490k a month salary for these choppers. coff your tax money thanks please.

New Cabinet could cost R1bn

Johannesburg - President Jacob Zuma's new expanded Cabinet may cost the country nearly R1bn, the Star newspaper reported on Tuesday.

On Sunday, Zuma announced his Cabinet which created six new ministries.

The Star, using the Treasury's annual Estimates for National Expenditure for 2009, said the smallest ministries cost more than R300m each. At even half of that cost, the new ministries would still cost R900m.

The new Cabinet has created positions for six new ministers and eight deputy ministers. The Star reported that their salaries alone are estimated to cost R20.3m.

As I am sure more South Africans have heard by now that Zille from the DA accused ZUMA (our new el presidento) from the ANC that he has put his wives (yes, more than one) at danger of getting HIV, then they retaliated with some snide comments and now the whole media have jumped on board.

What happened to "freedom of speech" in this "democratic country" remember Zaphiro who had a law suit because he put a shower head on Zuma's head after that whole shower story, pffft.

Anyways Zaphiro has just warned that if Zuma dissapoints the people, the shower head is coming back baby!

I've aready recently spoken my mind about the ANC, however as you can see i'm not the only one that thinks so :p

infact 2 occasstion, one of wich I will paste an article from IOL the other was a fact that I heard yesterday, the ANC has spent R300 million on the election campaign, if they're so f**ing willing to give houses and jobs to the poor as they profess, then why on earth are the spending that amount of the tax payers money on elections? makes ya think.

I'm ready for the DA nê

ANC 'poisoning people's minds'

Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille was welcomed with shouts of: "Down ANC!" and people waving 'Stop Zuma' placards, when she took her election campaign to the ANC stronghold of Butterworth in the Eastern Cape on Wednesday.

Zille, who arrived in the Msobomvu Community Hall to the Brenda Fassie song Vulindlela, told the crowd of about 800 that it was up to them to root out corrupt officials in their area.

"If you keep voting for the ANC, you mustn't blame them," said Zille, who shifted between Xhosa and English in her speech.

"Your vote is your power."

PRETORIA. ANC President Jacob Zuma says the lifting of corruption charges against him has left him free to tackle an even bigger personal challenge: getting rid of his man boobs. According to Zuma, the issue of "moobs" affects millions of moderately obese patriarchs across the country, and can severely damage men's self-esteem as they get whistled at by builders.

Zuma is currently on the campaign trail in South Africa, explaining his vision of one-party democracy, but he took time out this morning to speak openly and intimately with fellow sufferers of the man boob pandemic sweeping through communities of sedentary beer-drinkers who whose wives feed them on demand.

According to Zuma he had always been comfortable with his body. However the acquisition of his fifth wife changed everything.

You ultimatly need to read this article and see the pics HHAAHAHAHAH

As a load of ya'll know our elections are coming up next week wednesday and all our political parties have been camaigning like a hell over the past month or so promising things left right and center.

Now what concerns me is the amount of folks out there that STILL believe the nonsence that the ANC are telling them about housing, helping the poor and putting a roof over the nations head.

The only time that the ANC start talking is when it's election time, putting false promises in the minds of all those who dont understand properly, and this is thier advantage.

The folk out in the rural area dont really have much of a choice cause it's all that they really know is
"ANC" and that the ANC will get them a house.

Anyways, my two cents worth on that matter, I just really do hope that the Ruling ANC gets a surprise on voting day, and I REALLY hope that it's a free and fair election :)

New party gets its name?

Johannesburg - The splinter group's new political party will likely be known as the South African Democratic Congress, the SABC reported on Sunday.

The party will be named also be registered on Monday, it said.

A decision to oppose the ANC in next year's election was taken in the national convention in Sandton on Saturday.

The party will be formally constituted in Bloemfontein only on December 16, but co-leader Mbhazima Shilowa told delegates at the closing session of the convention that it could not be a "no-brand name" until then.

Well I want to see if this party is acutally going to have some sort of impact on the country or not, I doubt it.

So this is not scary in the least, seems like along with our el presidento's resignation, comes another 11 cabinet resignations, g'damn.

The scariest thing is that our very own Finance minister Trevor Maneul has indeed resigned, EISH.

How's this for a list of resignations.

• Finance Minister Trevor Manuel
• Ministers of: Defence, Mosiuoa Lekota
• Minister in the Presidency Essop Pahad
• Intelligence, Ronnie Kasrils
• Correctional Services Ngconde Balfour
• Public Enterprises, Alec Erwin
• Science and Technology, Mosibudi Mangena
• Public Works, Thoko Didiza
• Provincial and Local Government, Sydney Mufamadi
• Public Service and Administration Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi

Not sure what else to say really, yikes
