BORN THIS WAY -The Sequel.

Grace Jones

It was reported in the news recently that the South African Council of Churches (SACOC) said something like this: " If the South African government can stop the Dali Lama from coming to South Africa, we can get them (the SA government) to ban Lady Gaga from here too!"  Say whaaaat????? Firstly how can they compare the two people? The reason why the Dali Lama was not allowed into the country was because the Zuma regime did not want to tarnish relations with China. If you read the history books, China invaded Tibet which caused the Dali Lama to seek exile in a neighbouring country. So what has this got to do with Lady Gaga? Apparently there's a Top Eleven list of musicians who according to reports are all connected to Satan. They say if you play their songs backwards, you get satanninc messages. What a load of hogwash! Maybe I should start playing Christian music backwards, I really dread to think what could be revealed here. One lady who was trying to stop the Lady Gaga tour because she said the woman is satan, is a die hard Carlos Santanna  fan. Yes, you heard right! She listens to the devil rythmns of  "Evil Ways" and "Black Magic Woman". Does this make sense to you. When I was a twenty something youth I had all the Black Sabbath and Uriah Heep albums, and thirty years down the line I'm no satanist. I was and still am a Grace Jones fan. And I consider Ms Jones to be the original Lady Gaga. In fact I would say that Lady Gaga is the next Grace Jones! What about Madonna? Isn't she a satanist too? I have her Dvds and have watched them many times, and I'm still no satanist. So what is the point of all this? These religious freaks should get a life, there are a lot of local celebs out there who are doing things which are influencing our children. And in closing compare the two photos on this post. Do you see much difference? I didn't think so..........

Lady Gaga

CONGRATULATIONS, MR OBAMA.......

Being a South African, American politics have always fascinated me. I think the whole world has been watching the 2012 US Elections with keen interest, hoping that US voters would not make the wrong choice. Well we can all heave a sigh of relief as President Obama was reelected for a second term. And as the pro-Romney supporters either cringe at the thought of another four years under President Obama or plan a mass evacuation to the United States of Romney on some off-shore island that the billionaire politician has acquired, back here at home in South Africa it's business as usual as builders continue work on Zumaville. All eyes are on Parliament after opposition parties displayed a vote of "no confidence" in Mr Zuma, and Helen Zille had given him 78 hours to respond to the R200m spent on his luxury villa in Nkandla. I think even people in the street who were staunch supporters of him and his political party have lost confidence in them. It has just come to my notice from Helen Zille, who tells me that they are now going to start court proceedings. For those of you who were following the DA "march" to Nkandla, you will recall that a charge against Mr Zuma was laid with the police, giving him about 3 days to respond. Failure to do so, he would be taken to court. The public will be keeping their eye on that piece of news. And whilst the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, just because some politicians don't get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, so life goes on for those who believe the ANC is trustworthy and those are disinterested in politics. But yet they are the first ones to write to the newspaper, when the price of groceries go up or when someone gets mugged. I am no politician, but when I read about schoolchildren without textbooks or those who have to wade through a river to get to school because there's no bridge, all because the  president spends R200m on his house so he can feel safe. The mind boggles. Let's not forget the people living in shacks, with no proper housing or money for food. Do they feel safe and warm in their homes with the roof that leaks when it rains? And to Americans who voted for Romney: Another 4 years with Obama is heaven compared to this. Try living in my neighbourhood where 6 vehicles got hijacked/stolen in one evening! Suspected corrupt politicians in goverment. A bunch of lunatic church groups trying to ban Lady Gaga from South Africa, and you think you have problems? I would vote for President Obama any day!

DEAR MR ZUMA........

Cartoon "borrowed" from the internet.

As an ordinary citizen of South Africa, it is my duty to imform you about two things: (1) Once you start using tax payer's money to upgrade your private homestead, your home is no longer private. (2) When you became president you lost the right to privacy. I want to know just about everything about the person running the government. Nowhere in the world does a president spend R200m on his private residence like you are doing. Oh I forgot.......our neighbour Uncle Bob does, but then aren't you two friends? Okay so you said you would pay R10.5m of the costs, big deal! What bank do you bank with that you managed to save all that money from your salary? Or is the money "borrowed" from somewhere? These are all questions that need answers as you and your "private" army refused acess to the DA delegation yesterday. People are homeless and hungry; school children in Limpopo don't have text books or proper classrooms; just because you used the money to protect yourself with bunkers and bullet proof windows! The majority of South Africans are getting fed up after the latest stunt you pulled, so don't be surprised if by 2014 they change their vote and support the opposition. You even refuse to make a statement about it, or so I hear. Helen Zille has challenged you to give South Africa the answers to all these questions. So Mr President do the right thing and prove us all wrong!
