Qviews

Well a breath of fresh air since there is no political discourse that I will be bound to dwell on just for today. Okay maybe that's really pushing it considering that everything seems to be connected to politics. Even the thought that since Monday I bonded with Proverbs ( that's scriptures) and for once I seem to me getting my "read a book mojo back". Infact, I just finishied a 149pager by Stephen Finn. Still surprised that it took me just over a week, I used to go through a book that size in a matter of hours. I'm not kidding considering that it's trully a nice read and for some reason though fictional can explain the school environment dynamics in our society. How individuality is usually discriminated by the social norm and how later the society will judge. How does sociaty turn individuals to killers or murderes and continues to judge without taking note of the role that it has played in the construction of the events.

Anyway, I reccomend that you read Soliloquy by Stephen Finn it really is amazing and highly reccomended for any teen parents. Considering the latest child shootings and violence at school it is a must read for all those that I embarking on a journey to high primary to serve as an outline of possible challenges. Well, enough about Stephen Finn, it appears that Caster has even entered the boardroom SA with the latest victim being Phat Joe a radio presenter from KayaFM. I guess society will always try to punish those that speak out about their prejudices. Infact one can argue that social prejudices can affect Freedom of Speech. But whether does this goes to freedom to privacy or freedom to individual rights that is something different altogether. I mean our own President had his own share prior to his rise to the highest position on the land. It seems that we keep going over the same indifferences over and over and we have a few learnings from ourt past experiences. This is in now way to compare Caster to my president. Well I guess we need to look at both sides of the fence. I would really like to know how is the house for the Semenya family coming along though?

Forget what I uttered about leaving politics out of the issue, well it appears that Blade Nzimande has apologised for the lavish cars. Well perhaps an apology is not good enough, perhaps he needs to follow S'bu Ndebele example of getting rid of the car for one that is similar to Finance Minister. That will impress me, I mean on a serious note lets practice what we preach. Blade has also gone on to blame former president Thabo Mbeki on the shortfalls of the government and his elements that still exist. That is trully dissapointing, we have moved on from the Mbeki era and challenges and shortfalls. I don't think it will be imperative to quote the ANC on their election promises and how they rode the flag of in the past years we have done ABC prior to the election. I guess what I'm saying is that with our votes we acknowledged the failures and the success of the previous leadership and choose one party to take us forward. Let's move on, and not blame our shortcomings on the previous leadership or else I'll just have to release Julius on the current leadership.

Ohh Mighty Springboks, you have once again done the country proud. Pity though that there are elements that will use your VICTORY to mock some part of the racial group within the country. I mean on a serious note, we are more South Africans when the Bokke win than when Bafana loses. I mean well really wanted to compate apples with apples but in this scenario well just have to compare the loses of Bafana Bafana to the winnings of the Springboks. It's the only way I can match or balance the score of both teams. The Bokkes gives us pride, not racial slurs and claims that the Berlin Olympics gave us post Caster, Mulaudzi and Mokoena. You have done us proud, beyond measure.

Well that's it for the day...
