Genoeg tou?
In ‘n klankopname in Augustus het mnr. Sacky Shanghala aan Eagle FM gesê hy hy sit nie op sy brein nie.
Omdat sy verstand so vlymskerp is, sê die regsgeleerde, word hy valslik van korrupsie beskuldig.
Hy sê ook hy werk dag en nag en beantwoord enige tyd e-posse. Ook van mede-“haaie”, volgens Wikileaks?
Mnr. Shanghala, ons het nie beswaar dat jy al jare ‘n slap Benz ry nie. Ook, u en mnr. Bernhard Esau, het ons nie ‘n kwessie dat politici hier en daar op ‘n direksie sit wat viskwotas besit nie.
Ons soek wel bewyse hoe opbrengste in gemeenskappe teruggeploeg is vir bemagtiging. Toevallig is daar geen openbare wetlike plig hiertoe nie en die lêers bly gesluit.
Daar is geen beletsel op ‘n politikus om sake te doen sonder konflik van belange en ter opheffing van die land nie. President Hage Geingob?
Maar ons moet ernstig konsulteer oor wat dalk weer peperduur, gevolglose konsultasiewerk vir eie sak gaan word. Voorbeelde, en presedente, sal (onvermydelik?) gevolg word.
Persepsies is magtiger as watter feite u almal ook al – na de maal, saam met die wurgmostert – opdis. Deursigtigheid, een van die huidige regering se sentrale teksverse, verg die sake moes van meet op rekord geplaas gewees het.
Selfs met gevriesde bankrekeninge (jul het ook ander rekeninge?), kontant in die kluis en tjommies waarby u kan zoela teen baie beter terme as mikroleners (30%), leef u miljoene kere knusser as “Comrades” in die kambashu’s en “stokhuise”.
Hopelik sal kiesers ook nie op hul breine sit nie.

Hong Kong: a city on the brink
Hong Kong is burning. The authorities continue to pour fuel on the fire.
On Monday, the People’s Daily, the mouthpiece of the Communist party, warned that there is “absolutely no room for compromise”. But it is not merely that Beijing and the Hong Kong government will not take a step back; they continue to escalate the crisis.
Excessive force and police brutality have accelerated and magnified these protests, turning what began as a rejection of the extradition bill into a far broader movement, and persuading a large section of the population that they should support it. Though many remain peaceful, a radical minority of protesters have responded with unacceptable violence.
The movement’s resolve in Hong Kong is also a response to events on the mainland: the increasing repression seen under Xi Jinping, most of all in Xinjiang.
Further repression in the region will provoke the kind of ongoing resistance, even insurgency, that some have called the “Belfastisation” of the city.
China’s leaders may still believe all this is a price worth paying. Since 1989, when it crushed the pro-reform protests that began in Tiananmen Square, and witnessed the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union, Beijing has calculated that bloody suppression should be avoided if possible – but not by offering concessions. It will angrily dismiss any criticism, as it has that from Britain.
Ignored or not, foreign leaders have a duty to remind China that they are watching.
