Our unique government

When the topic of politics or the South African government come up in conversation one has to automatically chuckle. Not because we are a joke but because things are run a whole lot different in the rest of the world.

Well for starters our President has 7 wives and estimated by the Daily Mail about 20 children. The African National Congress (ANC) has complained for his over spending on spousal support. Seeing that he has 7 wives to support and 20 children the country will be broke by the time they reach University. (you'd do the same for your wife and children)

The lack of focus on major problems and the over focus on minor ones can make one wonder too. The Metro Police Department must be chaotic with  an overload on CV's as everybody wants to be a traffic cop. It's the new glamour job, it has it's perks! You might even get a free meal that day depending on how hard you try. (or should I say work)

Is it weird that I take a fancy to the traffic police? Does that make me Metro-Sexual??

The masculine femininity and feminine masculinity roles are growing at a rapid pace. With a female Chief of police it does raise questions to men. More women are doing the men's work.

Another area of concern is the overly sized bar graph representing our crime rate. South Africa is known world wide for a high crime statistic. Let us be grateful as this statistic put us on the map. Nonetheless, 7.7% of our GDP is generated through tourism. 63-Million people visited South Africa in the last year, so it can't be that bad.

It's those certain things that make a South African feel South African. We wouldn't function in a normal environment with rules and orders. That just isn't us!

We are still one of the most influential countries in Africa regardless of what they say. That's me just saying.
