Apparently Laws are Made to be Broken

With a certain degree of incredulity, we heard on the news this week that taxi drivers in Cape Town went on a violent rampage which they described as “a march to protest against Law Enforcement” in their industry.

I guess when your Deputy State President has spent the greater part of the year in court facing various charges, including rape and corruption, and has encouraged his supporters in their threats of violence against his accusers, why should it really surprise us? He pointed out that since she was wearing a skirt, the woman who accused him of rape was in fact showing her willingness to have sex with him!

(Wow, maybe we are onto something here, we must put the word out to all the women and children in this country to start wearing trousers, if they don’t want to join the 1 in 3 who have been raped so far)


While Americans and Europeans twist themselves into pretzels trying to remain “Politically Correct” in all their public statements, here in Africa it is becoming quite PC to admit to being above the law. It seems a desire for anarchy and freedom from legal constraints is becoming quite popular around here, literally from the top down!
