We have survived Christmas. Every year this is a stressful time to many around the globe. Running mad, Looking for ideal gifts. Preparing for the end of one year and the beginning of another. This year has been testing for many South Africans.
All South Africans have united against the current ruling party. Some may be under the illusion the apartheid was our greatest battle. No it is Jacob Zuma! Many have finally hit the realization that the current president is not working out so well (better late than never I suppose). In 1994 one man set South Africa free. Now another man will try to break us. Yes unfortunately the current president is incapable of basic math skills, but the rest of us aren't too shabby so we're counting down.
We still have our amazing sense of humor. After all produced "The Laughing President"!
This had been the year of marching. From people who were unhappy with their jobs and pay, to being fed up with the running of the country. With a government that has been playing us like a board game.
We have gased up out homes. and we're kicking it and making fires. We know how to rough it out.
We have for some reason been trying to Americanize our country. Got Burger king, Krispy Kreme, and now there is talk of a Star Bucks popping up. The lingo has changed drastically in South Africa. Dress codes have changed. We seem to be losing all that makes us South African.
Every time America drops off another one of their famous stores on our shores, South Africans line up to get some of the American experience. Don't get get me wrong I am in love with Krispy Kreme.
It's just sad that when speaking to many South Africans about voting at the next Elections, they point blank refuse to participate. They feel that standing in a queue is a waste of their precious time. Lets hope with all the practice they have had with lining up for food, they will happily line up to set things right in our home land.
We are ready for you 2016. You CAN NOT bring a South African down!
