HAIL THE HEROES OF SOUTH AFRICA!

Filed under: poetry, andile mngxitama, politics — ABRAXAS @ 11:48 am

Our heroes
Mandela, Tutu, and the brave Jansen
The dancing Zuma and pipe smoking Mbeki
Hail our heroes and heroines who brought us freedom
Freedom to live in RDP houses,
Freedom to live in shacks
Freedom to perpetually look for employment with a smile
At least we eat pap and meat everyday
We are not Zimbabwe!

They are starving because Mugabe offended the whites
Whites bring pap and meat
Mugabe is stupid!
The moronic moron

Hail our super intelligent leaders who saved us so that we can be:
Waiters and waitresses
Mine workers
Volunteers
Managers without power
Loaded BEE zombies

Voters every five years!

We are free!

Viva Mdiba we thank you for 2010 soccer world cup
Now the whites can come and play soccer and we shall sing shosholoza!
We shall show them all how good and efficient we are
Together as one simunye grooves

Behold the heroes of our celebrated democracy
Our heroes are those who endured shit and piss at UFS
Our hero is the man cleaning the toilet at O.R. Tambo Airport with a smile
Thank you sir, yes mam, smiling happy toilet cleaner
The black woman who sweeps the street at dead of night hail!

Democracy is a miracle

Free but a slave

Freedom we love you
Our heroes are full of shit!

From Mau Mau’s poetry for a shit country

    Its good to point out how backward our people still are, in terms of their social positions. But blaming the ANC for the deal they got from Codesa is a bit short-sighted, because under the position we where in, in the nighties, there was no other option for them. If they had went with the choice of not making any compromises, and opted for a total revolution with the aim of toppling the whole white structure, we would not have won. I can confidently say that we would have been still fighting a war with the Apartheid regime and i’m not sure if we would be in a better potion than the one we are in. I am not saying that the ANC has not failed OUR people dismally with regards to the promises they made. But lets not for one second think that we where in a potion to dictate the terms of “post-apartheid” south africa. Quite frankly lets not delude ourselves and think we would have won a war with that regime, coz we wouldn’t have.
