A close friend alerted me to the "open letter to South Africans" by Dawie Roodt on the news24 website, regarding a burglary at his home a
few weeks ago. After reading it, one instantly acknowledges the fact that South
Africa is filled with good people who will go out of their way to help or
assist anyone in times of distress. His unfortunate experience is another
statistic contributing to the sad state of affairs in which our security
establishment, who is mandated to protect the People of South Africa, (and not
only the Nkandla Crooner and his incompetent cronies!), finds themselves.
Although the experience was
somewhat traumatising for him and his family, he still had the courage to look
beyond the horror and acknowledge the fact that South Africans are good people.
The overwhelming response and the way in which help was provided, assisted him
in overcoming the terror that transpired in his home and gave him the courage
to appreciate the positives of the whole ordeal. His response to the question of whether his
experience will make him consider relocation abroad, is laudable, and instead
he provided some points for our esteemed government leaders to ponder. Whether they will take heed to his suggestions
or provide some sympathy for him and his family remains to be seen.
Enter Gwede Mantashe, the
mumbling, has-been unionist who berates and scorns anything or anyone critical
of the ruling party. His response to the open letter from Dawie Roodt…."They are in a publicity stunt and I
don't engage such people," he said. "The letter was not directed to us, it was directed to
everyone."
Suppose it was wishful thinking
that the sycophant incompetents will show some leadership and integrity……..
