Crazy inflation rate...

Indeed its a crazy inflation rate and loads of other crap to follow like the 53% price hike by our beloved Eskom..This is surely going to hit the poor the hardest. And that leads me to wonder..does anyone ever consider what the poor people go through, or journalists just keep writing about it and thier writting falls on deaf ears??

First of all, most of them probably keep wondering why the paraffin price and bread price keeps going up (let's face it, most of the poor people might be subjected to the crap that is produced by the Daily Sun). The social grants are not even covering all of their needs because, truth be told, it is not a real increase when Finance Minister gives his budget speech in February every year..!

Again..is Eishkom (Eskom) crazy..53%??Do they have any idea how the poor are going to be affected?Come on..They should rather use those fat bonuses that they got recently to subsidize the poor people in our country!DO THEY WANT OUR COUNTRY DO BE IN DEEP BULLDUST??You might be thinking.."Well, our country still has the cheapest electricity in the world". My answer to that is SO WHAT?just because our country has cheap electricity does not give the Eishkom authorities the right to lead our country into severe poverty..I say severe because..those already earning peanuts at work and were previously not disadvantage WILL NOW BE..!!

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)...
