The British press had a ball ever since we won the bid to
host the soccer World cup. They even sent the people to dig up some dirt
irrespective of how remote it is from the soccer world cup. But the only thing they could hold on to was
crime, yes we have a crime problem in South Africa, but does it really deserve
the airtime it is getting in the British media? And what does that have to do
with hosting a successful World Cup?
Now our dancing President gave them a new target, they
called his visit comic opera. The President couldn’t choose the worse time,
after the Sono Khoza saga or private matter depending on whom you are talking
to. I am not sure if the presidential aid is doing their job here, it was clear
even before Sonono story that the president was going to be under fire.
Remember the sickening question about his wives? The presidential aids should
have known that after the love child scandal they should let things cool down a
bit. I know we must not give in to bad elements but this is humiliation. It is not far from the state of the nation
address where he made some blunders as if he didn’t rehearse his speech. First
he Mentioned Irvin Khoza’s name in a week that he was suppose to be as
diplomatic as possible and brought the two house of parliament down with
laughter. Secondly unnecessarily referred to the Development Bank of South
Africa as ABSA, which is where Sono Khoza is working, then a louder laughter
again.
Now the British media is savaging his remaining integrity if
there is any still remaining by calling him a Sex-obsessed Bigot with 35
children and a buffoon. I am sure this is the worse insult to be directed at
the head of state by British newspapers. Again Presidential aid failed to see
this coming.
Did he bring this to himself? Does he deserve this? I am
sure this man is not as intelligent as we would like him to be, but he is still
our President. Lets protect him until we chuck him out of the office if the ANC
don’t recall him because of his indiscretions. As for the British media you
have rubbished our country like some of our white counter parts, but this has
to stop because World Cup success will prove you wrong.
