Zimbabwe is coming to SA, so I figured my freedom of speech is living on borrowed time, I might as well start a blog and speak my mind while it’s still legal. Soon I’ll be hauled before a media tribunal for some of my views.
I was going to warm up to this media tribunal proposition if it promised to deal specifically with shock jocks like Gareth Cliff, remember his tweet ‘’Manto is dead. Good..blah blah ’, I dare Gareth to out all homosexuals who are radio jocks and are on the closet *wink*, yeah seeing that he’s in the spirit of speaking his mind no matter how cruel it means he’s going to be, maybe we can even narrow the focus to the ones doing breakfast shows, how’s that Ms Cliff? Oops I meant Mr. Cliff! I'm sure Gareth has a clue as to why gay people choose to stay in the closet, and worse - even date people of the opposite sex even though they're gay. Sometimes its really pointless to be in the closet when your whole leg is sticking out!
This media tribunal would also tickle my fancy if it proposed to investigate mysterious TV and radio appointments, like the rationale behind the excruciating combo of Phat Joe and Brenda Ngxoli on Real Gobhoza (SABC1), the media tribunal must also investigate why was ‘Pure Monate Show discontinued, and SABC1’s pathetically-lame efforts to be credible competition in the 18h30 time slot. If they can also investigate why Eddie Zondi still can’t string a proper English sentence after 100 years being on Metro FM, they won’t have to investigate why he’s cold to male callers and warm to female callers, its pretty simple – he’s a pervert with a radio show. Does Metro FM management ever listen to him? I doubt. They might also want to investigate how can someone be an extra on Generations while being a lead on Muvhango, her name is Amanda du Pont. And I’m pretty sure she didn’t do the famous ‘bedroom-audition’ some actors have had to do, so how did it all happen? I’m gonna love this media tribunal!
But I have a feeling this media tribunal is aimed at protecting politicians, as if they were not living about the law already! But knowing my fellow South Africans, they suffer from the ‘Abused-Wife-Syndrome’ so they’ll keep voting for the party that is slowly bringing Zimbabwe to SA, a party led by businessmen whose political will died years ago. Just like a woman who keeps going to the abusive husband, till it’s too late…
In a few months freedom of speech will be just a fond memory.
I guess this will mean even comedians won’t make jokes about almighty-politicians anymore. But party loyalists still defend this terrifying media tribunal proposition like an abused wife will defend her abusive husband. Nc nc nc nc nc...
It’s the way kungakhona.
