Distractions hide governmental failures

WHEN you go onto YouTube or any news channel lately, what do you see? If it's not a hoo-ha being made of the EFF in Orania, it's the Joslyn Smith court case which is demanding everyone's attention.

Just like Ramaphosa's Phala Phala scandal, which got buried very quickly and drowned out by other, alternative news events, so too the ANC's perceived involvement with Hamas and Iran since 2023 before the elections, is already dead and buriedall forgotten! How did we, as a democratic, uniquely diverse nation, allow ourselves to get to this point where nothing we see or read in the news anymore can be believed or trusted?

The ANC have seemingly become masters of distraction by diverting our attention away from any of their hundreds of failures, by giving us juicy, tantalising news bits containing everything other than what our greatest fears warn us about.
