The lights are on, but is there anybody at home? EISHHHH KOM Nou!!!

I had such a great party at Doeshinee's last Saturday night that it took me this long to recover... Who would have thought that Verulam, Stanger, Shakaskraal all put together can party like they did... Watch this space cause 04th December 09 has been booked for another huge event!!!

Typical isn't it??? There is so much (may the farce be with you) going on at MegaWTF Park that one has to wonder whether anybody truly knows whats going on with all the executive load shedding? So the power utilities board is adamant that Jacob Maroga has resigned but there has been no official press release... Its no wonder that South Africans are going to be paying 45% more every year for the next 3 years for their electricity, these incredibly talented individuals are taking the phrase, 'being kept in the dark' to a whole new level...
And then there is the matter of ARMSCOR - The board of Armscor has asked their CEO Sipho Thomo to resign but he refuses to go... Accused of an 'intimidating' and 'dictatorial' management style, Thomo says that this is how he learnt to manage when he studied his MBA (Machine guns, Bombs, Armscor) in Zimbabwe.

Due to the repetitive nature of SABC's promotional advertising for their programs I found myself forced to watch the 3 day semi- final of SA's Got Talent. Congrats guys and girls - you have proven to the world that we are not just a bunch of borewors eating, toi-toying, strike loving, scared of crime and one colored rainbow nation!!!
Well done to all the participants!
What is up with the music on that program when it comes time to announce the winner of the round? Who is this music director? I think there some 8 year old's on the show who have more musical imagination than what the viewers have to endure... Unbalanced and badly looped, this dull sound instead of creating suspense and drama, sounds like a Vuvuzela being blown by Jackie Selebi on one end and Glen Agliotti on the other...
Why does Anele Mdoda have to sound almost vindictive when addressing Randall? Did he stop her form having another cookie so that she can fit into that parachute she was wearing the other night....? I love her as a DJ - she totally rocks 5fm with Grant and her SA Music knowledge is amazing - But come on - there are kids watching!!!!
PS: I never considered myself a Randall fan!!!
Oh yeah - and how great is the TIMING of this show- most of the children acts on the show are balancing their performance with writing an exam the next day!!! Well done SABC, as if teacher and taxi strikes do not already affect the learners studies enough during the year, you go and position this smack bang in the centre of final exams!!! Now that's real TALENT!

From finding Aardonyx Celestea(dinosaurs) in the Free State highveld to realising that Bafana Bafana have lost 8 out of their last 9 games, there is so much going on in our beautiful country. The judicial system is being tested every day...
The Proteas kick off their battle against the Barmy Army's boys...
Bafana Bafana are on a sushi diet ahead of their match against Japan...
Children are watching SA's Got Talent instead of focusing on their final exams...
And of course, finally - there are some who will know it but will never admit it... Do we really need that kind of empowerment at CEO level or does the best man/ woman for the job not qualify???
Think about it...... Dali Mphofu (SABC), Jacob Maroga (ESKOM), Sipho Thomo (ARMSCOR), Khaya Ngqula (SAA)
... need I even go on???

Catch you on the radio....

Peace
