Tshwane deserves better

The Citizen

|

November 04, 2024

If seeing the DA cosplay as the EFF for Halloween in parliament wasn't bad enough, we were subjected to the kind of leadership that expects us to applaud them for doing basic math.

- Richard Chemaly

We can excuse the speaker who would roll over were it not for the desk he so insistently leans on and we can excuse the chamber looking like a confused airport waiting room for those without lounge access. What we cannot excuse is the behaviour of the people inside that chamber.

I thought the DA were the ones with such lust for the rule of law that they'd salivate over the idea of being asked to leave the chamber so that they can bring a review application.

Was it not hilarious to see the wannabe red ants taking videos of their uncharacteristically physically aggressive blue colleagues with a look combining confusion and excitement?

You can tell the fighters were filming the fiasco and feeling closer to their DA colleagues in a way they could never imagine.

Alas, this is somewhat more of a tragic comedy because the people of Tshwane don't deserve this lack of care from their leadership.
