Chapter 18: The Derby

yes, yes, its been a while!

but i only ever want to share meaningful experiences.

this weekend, my girls and i went to Soweto for the Infamous clash of the titans: Kaizer Chiefs and those other guys. it was such an experience- i actually do not know where to begin!

im actually disappointed that it took us such a short time for the people of South Africa/SAFA/ whoeva the fuck is in charge or control of the logistics of Soccer City to get back to a tym before Phillip was here.

1) the traffic was a bonafide nytmare! like- never in my life had i seen or been part of such! if it wasnt for that random Pirates supporter broad who rode on the bonnet of the car- i actually dnt kno how i wuda survived!!! ROFL

2) when we EVENTUALLY got inside- we were shocked to see that there were no seats available- ppl were proper sitting on the steps! or standing! im not sure if this is Computickets fault- or them mofos selling tickets outside! either way- its 2011 we shudnt be dealing with such!

3) where the fuck is security when sum smelly fool is fallin ova & on top of me? but wow hey, i thought i had seen drunk people in my life before- clearly i was fooled! this guy was pap or poep drunk! like il be surprised if he duznt hav sum brain defect after that day.

4) the ultimate highlight.... Orlando Pirates supporters ACTUALLY, REALLY, PROPER thinking that they won the game! o_O today is Monday & THEY STILL on that tip! kwaaaaheeeheeeeewhoooooo! *let us pray*. lyk really- it took u guys ova an hour to rise to the occassion and score.... bunch of limp dicks!

im used to living in a world where things go according to plan. and whenever i go to the townships i think the universe conspires & fucks shit up 4 me on purpose! strue! we were driving down some road with four lanes- 2 lanes going 1 way- the other two going the way. folks decided that road rules just werent worth following anymore- the folks going towards the stadium proper made the 4 lanes a one way! you can imagine how peeved off the guys who were meant to use those lanes were!!!!

i hate how people have chosen to sacrifise common decency & Ubuntu for their own selfish aims! & how on earth can we eva progress as a nation if we neva learn from our experiences?!?!?! as far as im concerned that seat drama was unnecessary! esp after hosting the World cup! do we need a fucking babysitter 2 make things happen?

besides the drama- i had a good tym- cos i do have the awsumest homies in the world!
PS- wishing Lama & Patience happy happy Bday 4 dis week =)

Chapter 17: Our South Africa

I know some of you couldn't be bothered, but I am. I am so excited that its voter registration weekend!!! Most people perceive the Municipal elections to be not worth their time- but these for me are probably more important than the National ones. because, simply, for those people who complain about their Municipalities not delivering- these are the people who are accountable to you. This having been a pretty stressful 2weeks for South Africans due to uTata Nelson Mandela's hospitalization, i think that we should recognise those decades he was improsoned for us to equally enjoy this benefit of voting.

Last time i voted i lived in Cape Town. Now im back in Jozi & have to re register & u kno what, i do not see it as an inconvenience! i really really love this country! Really! Having travelled in all 9 provinces i do know that i have it better than most people out there. And having been overseas i still realise that i have it better here. the only complaints i have about this country are SABC 1- but then i stopped watching it and my life became better instantly. crime hasn't been a big issue for me and my family because we live in pretty safe areas or because my number hasn't come up yet. we don't have natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis and shit- probably because "God" loves us more than the others or, or, our history and its ramifications are enough drama for us to deal with til this day.

I am a proud ANC supporter. And will continue to be for a very very long time, even after "Jesus" comes back! (hahahaha a little ANC inside joke). And yes, i still laugh at the fools that voted for CRAP i mean COPE. but, but, i value those voters than those people who just sat around and didn't vote. Not voting to me is such a spit in the faces of all those people who died, sacrificed their freedom, the safety of their families & time spent with their families for us to enjoy the lives we live today. in my eyes- if it wasn't for the freedom fighters i would not have my : Blackberry, Degree, Internet, the choice to eat KFC or not & oh my word- MacDs cos lets b honest- if things didn't turn out the way they did i would not have access to Birth Control & DSTV (praise black jesus).

It is up to us, the "enlightened, educated, know-it-all generation" to vote and complain and fix the things we find wrong about our country so that we can make it a better place for us & ur children. so, when you wake up Sunday morning hung-over as hell, on your way to Chicken Licken & Tops please swing by your local voter registration centre. i promise, the queues will not be as long as the ones on 27 April 1994.

"be the change you want to see in the world"
