This is one of those commentary that may sound patronising. But it is not meant to be.
I completely understand that we pay people badly in this country. The argument that half a loaf is better than nothing is a bit dodgy for me.
The municipal workers fall in the category of those people who believe their lot can improve. With food prices up and electricity and whatever else skyrocketing, I understand the clamour for more money.
But after wading through trash in Braamfontein because municipal workers think they have a right to do so because they are not being paid properly is just bull. That I do not understand. I don't get the point of capsizing dustbins.
What is the point? Why do you mess up where you will sleep later? I have no other issue as some of my learned friends will tell you about international hosts and the like and what they think. For that I dont give a toss. But I fail to get the point especially when the leaders play it down as if it is the most understandable thing on earth.
What is the point? Somebody...

No, you do get it. You get it all too well. They mess up the streets to make a point. Give us our money, or you'll have to 'wade through trash' every day of your lives is the point. Surely.
ReplyDeleteI know what point you are making. Some of us would think that they would like to garner some support from the normal joe (you and I), but it is not so. They don't give a rats ass what we think. All they care about really is their money. They don't need us (the normal joe) to back them up on that. That, my friend, is why.
