The Revolution in the Mind's of Men
By Rattle_Spear
26 February 2008
South African political figures are very diverse at present

The Revolution in Men’s Minds

South Africa will never be free

The revolution is far from over

The ANC is above the Constitution

The only things you hear is past revolution and Apartheid wrongs

Jacob Zuma wants some ethnic cleansing

He wants to eradicate corruption in the inner circle

He does not want his day in court

He would rather become president of the country

President Mbeki’s days are being counted

He has run out of fame or favour

H is an ANC puppet

Yet nobodies savoir

Charles Nqakula is the parliamentary clown

He changes every thing in this very old town

He wants to dissolve the Scorpions

He want to ban self defence

A wise old mother of the revolution once said;

“All we need is a box of matches, petrol and a Goodyear tyre!”

We can overcome any enemy

We can even kill stompies!

What happened to reconciliation?

What is happening to spiralling crime?

Where is all our brotherly love going?

What was the great hope for Africa I now fear for, corruption on a endemic scale, the people, at least most of the people in the townships see little change, their lifes in danger on a daily basis, their poverty still extreme. 
Politics going towards tribal , oh, South Africa what as became of the dream?

Yes, The Scorpions, I was talking to a SA guy just the other day, he agreed with me , to disband the Scorpions is a very backwards step, an elite anti-corruption force disbanded by the governing or potential governing party when the leader of that potential governing party is under investigation??? it stinks. 
 
the guy I was talking to is in fact a supporter of the opposition.

Thanks for your comments. 
Some politicians have a craze for power. 
They neglect to observe the Constitution and what it stands for. 
I hope to God that this beautiful Country does not follow the route of Kenya, Zimbabwe and the rest of darkest Africa by 2009. 
Yes, the Scorpions are taking a battering at the moment. I hope they can survive!
