What a shocking entry to 2015. I hope this isn't going to set the tone for the rest of the year. I've changed the banner of this blog in the interim in solidarity for those who were gunned down in the name of religion, a religion that just never seems to regain its standing in the eyes of those who are not Muslim.
Today I'm wearing my Brett Murray, "ANC-for sale", T shirt, which I only wear on special occasions. Thinking about it with the ANC behaving the way it does I should wear this thing every day. I think that press freedom in South Africa hanging by a thread. Big corporates are apparently cosying up to the likes of Zoomer and other ANC incorruptibles this weekend. This is a form of institutional appeasement, a tacit endorsement of the arbitrary manner that the ANC rules this country. I would have preferred only the connected black businessmen to show their faces at the 103rd gathering of rapidly increasing incompetence, with the larger corporates staying away as a sign of protest.
What does this year hold then? Our court action has picked up momentum and we've raised a large amount of money from smaller businesses and organisations who have had enough of Rob Davies and his department. The sad thing is that it's the larger companies that stand to benefit the most and they do not have the will to contribute. I can ony hope that more companies will speak out as Max du Preez and Johan Rupert have recently. We are moving quickly now because I have it on very good authority that the iDioTIc is attempting to bulldoze the charters through the way that they want them. Someone phoned me last year from a charter council begging us to go ahead with our action because the process of drafting this charter has not been followed at all. There's no consultation or debate. If anyone wishes to contribute to our action we are still very open to more support.
Will Zuma fall on his spear this year, or will he be pushed? I don't think so, but I think he's in for a very rough ride this year. If he does one thing right then it must be to get rid of Rob Davies. This man is ........................................................... (fill in your own insensive expletives)
Good luck for this year and thank you for reading this blog
