Another Day at the Office

I had a deadline today (actually i had 3)..a complete story on Metrobus, a follow up on Women in Construction work as well as a Profile on Tyrone Arthur. I did well and managed to finish on time but for some reason i am having monday blues. Is it because of the depressing State of the Nation given by Thabo Mbeki on Friday?Justice Malala expressed his own views on the President's state of the Nation adress and to sum it up he said: "The King, the greatest, is dead"... (he says this in his coloumn in the times, http://www.thetimes.co.za/)

I think it got me depressed because as much as Thabo (excuse me, Mr. President) was being portrayed as helpless towards the end of his reign, he still deserved to be held in some sort of great regard coz the man really is smart. Shame you should have seen him when he was giving his speech (i did not, a friend said he was sweating and a bit nervous). Let us remember the good times he had while he was President just as when some one is dead, people only remember the good. He has after all done some good to our country's economy...Damn Eskom, they really damaged his reputation didn't they?Do you remember his facial expression when he lost the ANC Presidency to JZ?Our own President did not look the least happy at all..he has indeed taken a mighty fall..do yourself a favour and gather up newspapers over the past 3 weeks with his face on them and decide for yourself how he has been potrayed?Robala ka Kgotso Ntate Mbeki.. Rest in Peace Mr. Mbeki..and Arise JZ (Jacob Zuma)...
