VIVA WC 2010!

I created this Prahdly Sarff Effrikin flag as an overlay to a few photos I took recently. The photos were taken 40 metres from a hospital. The refuse photographed is only the tip of the current South African service delivery problem. Service delivery has deteriorated in the past 16 years, yet the powers that be are of the opinion that we will be able to cope with the expected influx of tourists. Well, with that said, it would seem that we won’t be seeing as many tourists as we originally thought.

No doubt all the matches will be played, but without local spectators, as they will be holed up at home, with emergency supplies for the duration of the World Cup.

It does in fact seem as though the only signs of life out in the streets will be child-snatchers, and the SAP who will later brag about effective policing and crime prevention in the ‘preceding period’, during which time all the reported FIFA related crime incidents were rapidly resolved.

Of course there won’t be any FIFA related incidents; it’ll all be tagged as domestic violence. Whoopee for the SAP!

We do also need to bear in mind that the aforementioned preceding period does not, will not, and cannot ever include the following:
·    morning tea,
·    afternoon tea,
·    lunch time,
·    a quick visit to the shebeen,
·    grocery shopping,
·    That period of time needed to moonlight as a Texi driver before and after work.

It also does not include the period extending from 3 hours before kick-off to 3 hours after the stadium gates have been closed.

We’re looking forward to a great World Cup.

An afterthought. The Soccah City okes reckon they can evacuate almost 95 000 people in 11 minutes. Does this take into account that 95000 people will be in a state of high agitation, extremely emotional, with probably half of them drunk, and the other half stoned. Also, are they taking into account that the duly designated and appointed custodians and officials will be in a similar state to that of the spectators?
