This is who we, South Africans, are at heart. Don't let politicians tell you differently.

Before he signs the NHI bill I challenge the President, his whole family, the cabinet and all their family members to publicly cancel their medical aid and to use public healthcare with immediate effect. There must be no healthcare obtained overseas.

There are 40 days to the South African elections.

This photo went viral exactly 1,461 days ago. We were 24 days into the South African lockdown. The government made buying alcohol illegal (among other things like roast chickens, flip-flops, and dog toys).

So, some shops started grouping these ingredients together. You know… to make pineapple “slushies”.

2 days later, the government made buying yeast illegal.

Friends, the government made buying yeast illegal “to save us from Covid”.

You cannot make this stuff up. We are literally living in a movie.

And ja, this is a middle-class “problem”. But at the same time, millions of South Africans were left destitute. Hungry. Without any help from the government.

The same government that “ drips” in Dolce and Gabbana tracksuits, drinks Veuve instead of water and keeps millions on its couches.

We are not the poorest country in the world, but we’re “up there” with over 90% of our population living below the dignity line. And in that percentile, over 55% of South Africans live below the poverty line. This means that over 4,5 million kids go to bed hungry every night. Many South Africans don’t have access to clean water, or toilets, or a safe space to sleep. It is tragic. You could link poverty to crime, some do, and our crime stats will send shivers down your spine. Over 85 people are murdered in South Africa every single day. We have 170 sexual offences every single. And 1,183 assaults every single day.

While many South Africans go hungry and face crime head-on, our government officials live very lush lives and earn anywhere between R2.5 million to R4.4 million a year (this does not include corruption and hand-shake deals).

Perspective: earning R2,5 million a year means you earn roughly R6,849 a day. What is the current “Social Relief Grant” sitting at? R350 per month. That is less than 0.1% of what a government official earns monthly. Perspective indeed.

The “Business Tech” article that explains how inflated their salaries are goes on to talk about all the benefits they get.

“If these salaries are not already out of touch with the rest of the country, these millionaire public servants also enjoy an entire spread of tax-free benefits and perks, all paid for by the South African taxpayer. This includes over R3 billion worth of private VIP security, free electricity, water, transport and air travel, and multiple state-owned houses worth millions (including their maintenance and property taxes).”

Imagine if the South African government put the people of South Africa before themselves?

There are 40 days to the South African elections.

We need to stop imagining. And make it actually happen.

Just my 2 cents.

Also, I will have a pineapple something-something today to remember that crazy time.

Okay. Love you. Bye.
