Recession Ends in SA - What Bull???

Ah yes - the weekly report in our usual weird perspective!

First up has to be the fact that Stats SA has announced that the Producer Price Index is down and we are out of the recession!
Ahem!! so why then is the rate of unemployment numbers still increasing/ accelerating faster than the latest c65 AMG?
Why will fuel now cost 29 cents per liter more from next week?
Why are food products gone smaller and the prices gone bigger? Think about the last time you ordered a burger and chips, or even bought vegetables which are now smaller yet priced higher per kilo?

One theory is that these results are being strategically announced at the end of November 2009 to stimulate consumer interest and have you go out and spend spend spend over the festive season...
No this is not doom and gloom and a pessimistic view of the economic landscape - its just a load of bull and you should be spending your hard earned cash and bonuses (if you re lucky enough) on paying off your debt!!!!

On the topic of Bull!!! Ukweshwama is a Zulu ritual in which a bull is tortured to death. According to some - this is a highly symbolic way of thanking God! I used to think that virginity testing was a load of bull!!!!

923 govt officials have been brought to book by the Human Settlements Dept for corruption. The Dept of Correctional Services has found more criminal activity from their staff than from the prisoners they were supposed to be guarding. Mall invasions grow with the same haste as armored vehicle heists from a few years ago, this morning the Clearwater Mall in the West Rand was the latest victim.

The sad case of death by ambush for the two Clairwood businessmen is the latest eyeopener as we head towards 2010... Why would an 83 year old chase after armed robbers is beyond me, but our prayers go out to the family members... Speaking to a colleague, he said "Yeah its come to that, kill or be killed!!!" And we are telling the rest of the world that there is no crime? What crime?

A year ago, 166 people lost their lives when those selfish panty wearing so called TERRORISTS invaded Mumbai. Anybody can feel invincible with an AK47 and a bomb! Pity karma and the judical systems take so long!!!!

Mielie pap n sous has become a hit in Broklyn New York! The popular Madiba Restaurant has made a place in the top ten of the Gourmet Magazine list! Well done, Vuyo - no wait, he's been arrested, what I meant was - VIVA!!! expect the Nelson Mandela Foundation to be calling you next week to verify as to whether you can use the Madiba brand, have your papers in order and if you need a suggestion: Try adding some Vrystaat biltong to your menu!!!!

PS: Please don't slughter the Bull in the Bronx!!!!

Peace
