Let them eat cake

ELITE: STUFFING THEIR FACES, WHILE PEOPLE STARVE

- Isaac Mashaba

The GNU's majority party's absolute disregard of the voices of its citizens who are crying out for help bears a striking resemblance to a different time in history. "Let them eat cake..." is attributed to Marie Antoinette when she was informed of the hunger of the peasants. She was France's last queen during the uprisings in France that led to the French Revolution.

Similarly, the ANC under Ramaphosa has adopted a frivolous disregard for our citizens. While the so-called political elites are stuffing their faces with massive slices of cake, the people are starving.

Living in his isolated bubble, totally disconnected from the realities of SA, the president and his corrupt cabal ignore the voices who are pleading for improved governance, safety, a growing economy and the restoration of minority rights. They are begging to be heard. He even had a good laugh on camera when our ambassador to Washington was declared persona non grata and deported back to SA. Everyone else cringed with embarrassment.
