Who should point finger?

So, he did say that the other one has to pay back the money which the other did not even know that he was stealing (taking without knowing). It was quite an amusing scene to see the mentor being finger-pointed by the apprentice. He used to be the driving force of the youth division before he defected to start his own thing. Politics is so multifaceted, very difficult to grasp and understand but always a very hilarious and thorough subject to make fun of. 

It was given a theatrical image sometimes ago, during the last parliament assembly that I watched. A bit as if everyone was following a script, with tense periods and rhythm.

It sort of looked as if the rhymes put in the mouth of the  one who seemingly does not qualify anymore to be the lead actor (he actually never was the lead actor) cannot be well pronounced, he probably has issues with mathematics or counting. He just cannot impersonate the personage anymore (he actually never did). 

The young talent pushing from the back wants to be recognised and maybe have a lead role, but it will only be to lead astray. Even when he defends that leading astray if a way of leading anyway.

And finally, there is the quiet one, who is just getting his confidence back. He thinks because he is clever and smart he got what it takes to be one to be reckoned with. it simply seems as if he is a better actor when he does not say anything. 

We cannot forget our extras, who are just there to fill the empty seats because all the roles have to be taken. They enjoy the pawn-role and maybe should they be in the audience. They are not even allowed to make a sound, they might just be told to stop breathing because it is disturbing. 

The audience is crowded, around 130 million eyes are looking at them, trying to understand what is going on on that stage... it looks funny sometimes when they point fingers to each other. 

The politics cannot be just understood, that is their role.

Can I still believe in Democracy in Africa? A bleak future

This is probably one the hardest topic to talk about in Africa. It is the hardest as it can send you to prison, get you killed or simply because you can feel powerless whatever you denounce. Everything that happens on this continent seems to go against the growth and empowerment  of democratic people and of a sort of democratization of institutions in Africa. 

The one big mistake that I always encounter is that everyone thinks that since democracy is power for the people, we can use it anyhow we please. Please, that is not true. With power comes responsibility and it seems like, politicians today have completely forgotten that or they choose deliberately to ignore it. I do not really enjoy talking about and around politics but it just feels natural to bring about the injustices that we suffer because of the mismanagement and mislead of the leaders. 

Do the leading people know what it means to lead?

In today CVs, we always mention that out: leadership skills. Do we know what it means? leading implies a huge level of management and simply put management involves balance. I cannot find any in the political picture of Africa. That balance comes with changes and succession, understanding and clarity. Everything in that seems to be walked over in my continent. 

In South Africa, where I study and live, I see the politics being done very differently from Congo (DR) , my country of origin. Here, one can still grab a slight sight of politics. It makes feel like I am an alien; as if I was governed by lions living in the stone age. It simply looks ridiculous to me. It reminds me a bit of Pharoah before Egypt was hit by the 10 plagues. The warning did not scare him off or even accidentally changed his views and opinions about liberating the Hebrews. Is it the kind of end that should be foreseen for all the predatory politicians that everlasting throne in the presidency seat in my continent. I am looking for a way to believe in this corruption, nepotism, and obvious greed. Unfortunately, everything around me makes it hard and greatly impossible to be believe in. The staggering and compelling incompetency of some African leaders just baffle me and I often wonder if the future can look anyhow but bleak. 

  

Part of UJ burnt down

It was supposed to be some clumsy politician to feel the braai and being roasted in my next move but it is the UJ's Sanlam Auditorium that has been literally overcooked and burnt. I just got some info that it will cost around 100 Million rand to rehabilitate it. 

No one knows what happened, and I guess those culprits will not come forward to claim that wrongdoing. It is evil and I may sound harsh and subjective but it is the truth. What can really motivate someone to do that? if ever anyone did it. However, I am assuming that if someone indeed did that; I can only say that that person is evil since he toys with fire (or maybe he should rot in hell). Whoever it is, did not have any reason to do that to UJ. I am a proud Congolese student who studies there and I am having trouble understanding that... And in my line of understanding, where did those security guards go when the fire started. I am absolutely certain that they could at least feel it or even sense it, if not being alerted somehow. It seems like rescuers only come when the damage is being done. The university, being one of a state of the art, surely has a fire alarm and maybe the damage could have been prevented or reduced to a minimum. 

It is true that it has already happened and that cannot be changed, let's hope that the evildoers will be arrested and put behind bars. 

what to fry today? Myself

So I launched it, I started my own blog today. It is just about half past 2 as I am typing this down. I am quite nervous because I know that people will read what I am writing and they will judge me. 

First of all, why did I choose that title for my blog: WTF (what to fry) for my blog. Simply put, I will be frying events, people, facts, pretty much anything to serve it to you the right temperature and with the appropriate spices.

I love writing and since I don't see myself being published any time from now, I would use my creative writing skill to roast anything on this platform. Being both a student and working give me a wide vision of what is happening around me; that will basically be the source for everything I blog about here (Moreover South Africa is like a gold mines for facts and weirdness, I just can talk about this country even after the grave). The sarcastic aspect of this blog is going to be founded, or try to be founded, on an approximatively realistic approach to the truth. The main purpose here is expression and freedom flow of idea. 

I am going to fry myself today and I am just wondering which spice I should use to accommodate the taste of a tall guy. indeed, I am tall (about 196 cm)... and also I speak English with a french accent, even though I don't admit it. My girlfriend says that I am handsome and some people say that I look decent. I personally think that I just look like me and that's enough for me. 

As a creative writer, I usually write at the whim of my feelings or inspirations. However as a newbie blogger I assume I'll have to write even when my brain is filled with holes and my ideas have potholes. I am not planning to idle around, I will be writing and give it my best, you will read of me. 

what to fry next? Politics in all its splendure.
