OPHELIA'S RAINBOW

I don't want a battle from beginning to end, I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge, I don't wanna follow Death and all of His friends.

Warning:We are NOT ready!!!

I am proudly the anti-thesis of a patriot to my country. With very good reason. South Africa boasts one of the most comprehensive constitutions in the world, or so I'm led to believe. And what with our president assumptive being Jacob Zuma...well we are without a doubt on the brink of disaster, what with a charged rapist to lead our country,who believes a shower will cure HIV and AIDS. I want the world to wisen up to the truth of what South Africa REALLY is. And frankly in all respects WE ARE NOT READY! For anything of a large scale. Just take a look at one of the billion rand projects that is meant to be a stadium to host some of the matches for next year's FIFA WORLD CUP. It's barely even 75per cent ready! And I would be able to judge this as my father is a prominent person in the building industry. I have marvelled at some of this country's architectural wonders. But for something that is certainly going to be the biggest responsibility on a global front for this country, I cant say I'm not suprised. I highly doubt we will be ready. I'm not a cynic. Nor am I a pessimist. I am a realist. And the reality is , is that South Africa is not ready!

I agree on your point. Well written.

Tough but probably the truth. Well written Tanya.

Now with the elections done and dusted we are awaiting a bleak future. A president who doesnt even have a grade 5 education. Was convicted of rape and corruption not to mention fraud. Believes hiv and aids are curable with a shower. And is a socialist extremist. Soon zimbabwe will look amateurish next to south africa.

Ps i sound like a pessimist. Many people think Im just being negative But i think Im a realist. I dont live on pipe dreams and false hope. I live on hard facts. We have to be mature about it.i can only entertain hope if i believed people were doing the intelligent thing, But they Arent. And with a track record like the one i mentioned, there is no way one can excuse jacob zuma. Even george bush was a more credible person.

parastar, who is you candidate? I like your attitude but are you an one man army or do you have people and a party to back you up and to well establish your sayings.

I hate the word "patriots". Patriots are narrow, nassty, nationalist killers in all over the world. Patriots are so called murderer freedom fighters. Very often rulers use this 'CoOL' word to intoxicate the citizens to terrorize and push them to death.
