Only in South Africa

Only in South Africa.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Only in South Africa will you see or experience the shit that went down in Johannesburg today.

Today, the 24th of March, the whole of Johannesburg came to a standstill because the Taxi Associations embarked on mass action to protest against the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system that Government wants to install for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The Taxi owners reasoning behind the strikes is that the BRT will take away money from the Taxi owners. The bastards first started Toi Toing in Soweto, Lens, Eldo’s and Ales, and then slowly made their way towards town.

In protest they closed off all entrances into Eldo’s Lens Soweto and Alex and all exits from there. And they also threatened to shoot-to-kill anyone who tried to sneak out and go to work.

The Askria got wind of this and mobilised the whole JMPD and SAPS to the various areas.

I was on the M 1 going towards Melrose Arch this morning at 7 when the highway towards Soweto looked and sounded like a circus train. 30 JMPD and SAPS vehicles were driving in Formation to Soweto with their sirens wailing. A member of the Eldorado park massive was in the car in the lane next to me. He proceeded to roll down his window, flip the bird at the passing Askria and screamed at the top of his voice: “Its to late for that jou ma se P*&%TE”

Besides the fact that the Eldorado Park massive do have the filthiest mouths in the country is irrelevant. There is actually more truth behind the rant then meets the eye.


The Askria knew that the Taxi owners were getting pissed off for a while now. When the Gauteng Government initiated the Gautrain project, the bastards were Toi Toing in Main Street. And the leader of the various associations promised that this would not be the end. The Askria’s response: “In fact we will not be intimidated by these evil doers, we have lived to close to the woods to be scared by the tokoloshie, in fact!”
WELL DONE! I hope y’all screamed that on the loudspeakers when the mob was throwing stones at you, beating you up with knob kieries and burning posters of Zumatello.

Good news for sports fans is that it looks like the IPL and the ICC Champions Trophy is coming to SA.

This amazes me because a few years ago, south Africa was shunned by the rest of the world.

Does anyone recall how we ran up against Athens for the right to host the 2004 Olympic Games, or when we ran against Germany to host the 2006 FIFA World Cup? Since then we have hosted the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup, and are now about to host the Champions Trophy and the IPL Word on the street is that we are strong contenders to host the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Maybe after that Slaap Stad can pull its finger out of its arse and put together a strong bid for a future Olympic Games.

One of the reasons that we are popular at the moment is that it is cheap to host a tournament in SA at the moment. Which is true, but would any of this have happened if we didn’t already have the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Speaking of the tournament, massive efforts to punt the tournament are currently on the way. One of the first events is the World Peace summit organised by the LOC.

EXCUSE ME??????????????? WHAT THE HELL DOES THE LOC HAVE TO DO WITH ORGANISING A PEACE SUMMIT. FLIPPEN MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE SHIT IN SA WILL BE READY BEFORE ORGANISING THAT!

OH and that is not the best. They wanted to get the top peace makers in the World at the summit. And who does the African Ninja turtle Congress refuse a visa to? The Dali Lama!

WELL DONE AFRICAN NINJA TURTLE CONGRESS, WELL DONE!

WELCOME TO SOUTH AFRICA, Yes I have registered to vote So I can complain!
