Homies & Hoes Over Morals

So I was sitting there plotting on what my next post should be based on. I actually came with the perfect topic, and then everything just changed as soon as the latest war of words between Helen Zille of the Democratic Alliance, and the niggas from the ANC Youth League became national headlines. To be honest, my initial post wasn’t too far off from what I’m about to write about, in that it was also ‘political’. But I think its better I save that for a future blog. Anyhoo, where was I? Yeah, Zille v.s the ANCYL. I’ve always ended up being that dude with his head buried in a newspaper, while every other peer of his stashes it away for in case the toilet paper runs out. So it’s only natural that I blog about what’s happening politically in this country. I wanna use these blogs to talk about anything and everything. So let’s get it cracking like ass tops.

By now, I should think everyone is fed up with how childish our country’s politicians can get. I mean it was entertaining at first, back when Julius ‘Nandos’ Malema first started being open about his thoughts on Thabo Mbeki and every other politician associated with Thibo. As controversial as it was, no one thought what he said in the media from then on would be as expletive and vindictive ever again. I for one thought his initial comments would call on the higher powers of the ANC to shut him up for good. Like how the Don would call his Capos to order in those Godfather movies. I thought Julius would admit that he was wrong, and would stop shitting on respected leaders for good. Boy was I wrong. Shit just got worse from then on.

The latest exchange of words is grimier than ever. Here’s a basic rundown of what the fuck done happened: As you (should) know, Helen Zille runs the Western Cape now, seeing that she won the power based on these past elections. The DA won most of the votes in the province, so GodZille was obviously prone to appointing a cabinet. News came last week that she appointed an all-male cabinet. This caused uproar from members of the ANC, ANCYL, and Cosatu members of the Western Cape. The Cosatu guy said something along the lines of “Zille appointed an unfit cabinet, seeing as it consisted of just men, 80% most of them white at that”. Zille then snapped back, but not at the Cosatu dude, instead at the President. She called Jigga a man-whore that’ll probably give his wives AIDS. That’s not her exact words by the way; I’m just lazy to get the exact quote from the net, or a newspaper or something; but that’s more or less what she said. Just in a more politically-correct manner. She backed up her comments by saying that Jacob Zuma himself had (in 2006) admitted to shagging a chick with AIDS, raw. The ANCYL hit back by saying that Zille’s cabinet consists of her ex-boyfriends and concubines, which she plans on continuing to sleep with in future. Sheesh!

Now obviously most people would choose to criticize Helen Zille’s statements more because she attacked our new President. We’ve all known for a while now that she hates JZ, but her latest comments proved it. Lock, stock and barrel. I mean, I’d like to think that Helen is clever enough to know that with the elections being done, any attack on Jigga from here on will paint a sordid, sorry portrait of her hate for him. I’m sure she knows we can’t get a vote re-count, like how they did Robert Mugabe up in Zim a while back, (no pun intended). I think she should’ve responded directly to the Cosatu member, in a debate or some shit, explaining why she only appointed dudes in her cabinet. With that being said, I still don’t think that what the ANCYL said isn’t as bad. They should’ve showed disapproval on Zille’s comments in a much less disrespectful manner. If they had done that, the blame would’ve been put entirely on Helen’s comments. Instead, they threw fireworks into the fire, instead of distinguishing it. My point of this blog is not to take any sides. Not cause I’m chicken or anything, but because BOTH statements from BOTH sides are equally embarrassing, unethical, childish, destructive, denouncing, immoral, pre…

You get the point.

What these people said to each other is way worse than anything they’ve said before. It’s so bad, no one is surprised that defamation of character lawsuits are popping up from left and right now. I for one found it entertaining, I’m not gonna lie. It’s like watching a real-life movie about a high school beef between a bitter prom queen and the bad boy player that everyone hates to love but loves to hate. It’s just that in this instance, the player’s entourage crew is doing the bickering.

So fuck taking sides, this goes way deeper than just politics. Those of you that know me personally are aware that I’m not a Zuma fan at all. I didn’t even vote because I already knew the outcome, (who didn’t?). But there’s no way I could side with GodZille on this. Even though she does have a point about JZ admitting to some of the allegations, it just wasn’t needed of her to say those things, especially now after a ground-breaking election outcome. Everyone knows Jacob is a player. That’s actually the only thing I admire about him, lol. Okay I’m lying there’s some other stuff; like how he’s said to be a very good listener. I’d like to believe we share the same trait. The being a good listener one that is, I’m still working on the multiple wives one. Lmao, I crack myself up.

So if you feel a bit embarrassed about being a citizen of this country because of our top leaders’ preposterous tongue lashes, just know I feel the same way too. Wanna move to Mexico? We can get swine meat for cheap you know…
