The budget allocated to the arts centre is R2 million
All staff is voluntary, the director is a casual
Community groups and private bodies pay for functions
The big corporates throw their bit
The audit statement is incomplete
The accountant died in the Kenya plane crash
What’’s certain is that nothing is left for this financial year
The deficit is R 200 000
Sixty thousands was spent on special occasions
Tenders went to the director’’s spouse
The cousin was a shareholder
The mayor was a silent partner
The girl-friend a consultant…..
Forget about sexually transmitted diseases
The limelight is on sexually transmitted economic empowerment
Bags falling from owners into skillful hands guarantee no loot
Self-made blindness & bowl-hands attract few coins from good Samaritans
Pick-pocketing & begging is so out of trend
Creative-fundraising is the current
When one cannot afford not to hope that oneday
He or she will be at the top & all worries will be gone
There is no moment to care about the missing link in the pyramid scheme
With the nation so in need of heroes
The cheer crowd ready for hire
The media starving for scoops
The possibility of a corruption trial
Presents an opportune moment
To be a star of the moment
Newsmaker of the year
There is no room for losers here
The cost of being a hero is zero
If your trade denies you the chamzer award
You can try your luck in the controversy bid
Anyway better be a moegoe of the decade
Rather than come out with nothing in the celebrity race
You do not need to be grandiloquent
There are many ways to explain your actions
If you are a kwaito-star turned TV personality-cum UN ambassador
The paparazzi are jealous of you for eclipsing
The limelight from them in their own territory
If you are a politician obviously
There is some political conspiracy
Behind your dirty linen in public
If you are a soccer star
Everybody knows the girl
Threw herself on you
You sincerely thought
Young women should be
The only ones concerned about
Putting a condom & worrying
About STDs and pregnancy
If you are a soapie star
And know something about the bible
It is so damn easy
Just ask for forgiveness
Everybody knows celebrities are people too
They too can forget the condom
And forget how many kids they have
From how many women
If you are a famous deejay
The gods are forever smiling on you
You do not need to rent a crowd
There is a sufficient crowd of groupies
Ready to replace jiving with toi-toing
Your gift of words will
Come very handy to you
In case you have to put a spin
On the meaning of what you said
In threatening state witnesses
In any case if you are found guilty
You will be in the good company
Of patriots whose only crime was
Helping comrades in need
Brilliant administrators behind the dock
Only because of the ignorance
Of apartheid-era judges who know
Nothing about Affirmative Accounting
And all the new terms that are part of progressive lexicon
Me and my buddies have a word for these mamparas
I mean all the bloody whiners

“Take a hike!”

Finish and klaar!
