Strike it lucky

I heard on the news yesterday that the municipal workers union will be going on strike in sympathy with the government department employees, already on strike for the past week and a half. This is very thoughtful of them don’t you think? Why don’t we all go on strike with sympathy of the people living in Boksburg who are currently without electricity! Or can I ask for a sympathy strike by the Vroue Landbou Unie for our current water problems in Pretoria East!

Everyday I wonder more and more is this the African Dream we are living, and that we are going to wakeup one of these days and realize that there is a reality that make sense? Wouldn’t that be great if all of this was just a bad dream and that people can start acting like grownups and take responsibility for their actions and not resort to mass action when they are unhappy about something! It would also be great if the former regime as an escape goat, for anything that goes wrong, would disappear off the face of the earth!

So lets all get back to work, (ok not me I’ve resigned and is planning a holiday) but the rest of you get back to work…..just kidding, ek is ‘n mier en ek is besig ek is baie baie besig…..

When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices, go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams. Choice is yours...

I dunno, it may be fun to toyi-toyi. We can run around with bats and bash cars we don't like, we can stop traffic and set fire to taxi's..... What are you guys doing tomorrow?
