"Working Together We Can Pay More"

How much more can we really pay?Eskom's tariff hikes is just one the attachment that comes with our state owned enterprises. Look at the last recent season of political manifestations,SAA planes falling like flies, you can only say "Hallo" and beep beep the regulatory prices are just to high to cut you on that note and of course Eskom sniffing more into our pockets with its dark coal painted face of despair each year till 2012.We are capable of giving our neighbouring countries electricity at more less rates than ours,i mean geez this countries are covered green enough to produce a vegetable oil pool.In 1994 when we had our democracy the poor were told free electricity and all the gold at the end of this fabric rainbow, now the only thing you can do is to run at the end of your switch and look at the bill. More jobs will be lost no doubt about that ,as more companies even ever more struggle to meet their bills too.

Your right is yours!!!!


We seek peace so keen to keep the world we utter a kingdom of tranquil pure and true. Politics is an extension of primal order to control. I mean how many bills are passed without the interest or consultation of our own wills? We nationalize the contributable systems of our economics that are productive to an extent so that few capitalist can take more cake in the name of more jobs and empowerment this empowerment that.

The ill patients who die endlessly waiting for medication, the kids that you roll your window to when you are in the comfort of your car in the corner street, the men and women who sleep in trains in their way to work because the only hope they bear is a blue-collar status, the kids who write on their lap at schools, the women who carry buckets uphill against poverty and gravity ,it is our government responsibilities and not the millions disappearing into parties or tenders given into a chain of families. We need education, efficient health care system, access to sanitation effective structures, we need roads and toilets that are not are covered by blankets in the middle of ‘I can’t help myself zone’.

The moment we stop saying we can as a nation is when we lose our patriotic chance to take care of one another. We lose so much in not questioning why certain things are the way they are. Why should we apologies for the tax that we pay when every day we duck and drive sitting on our waist to avoid potholes?

What we need are leaders. There is significant difference in drinking coffee or taking too much supplements in the morning and sudden feelings of being a “leader”- caffeine makes you jumpy dear! Not wanting to be cynical and politically critical about leadership I think I will be modest enough to say that principles are the technicality of every basis in leadership. The last time we needed a rocket scientist was on the moon and I will save this one for the podium to say we don’t need any rocket scientist on board. Almost everyone can mold themselves to become a leader it doesn’t matter if your name sounds like a vegetable dish, always believe in yourself and act into some character. It is your right after all. The days of being told you can’t be that or this are over!
