Gautrain Approved, Roads Still Deadlocked
Well the Gautrain has been approved and I’m fully expecting the guys from Commentary to start their campaign of sabotage sometome soon.
And this is probably one of the few topics in SA today where conservatives and arch-leftists agree, that the Gautrain will cost too much and do too little. It’s estimated that the Gautrain will reduce congestion by 20% but congestion in Gauteng is increasing at 7% a year. So in the three years it will take to build it will reduce congestion to… today’s level. This is what running in place feels like.
PC Speak Is Retarded
So some taxi drivers and some metro police decided to get into a fire fight in Hillbrow yesterday. Now while that alone is a kak situation, a quote from metro police spokesman Edna Mamoyane caught my eye:
Some of those not arrested came back and started opening fire on the police. They were obviously showing solidarity for their colleagues.
No Edna, if they had gone to the police station where those arrested had been taken and held a candlelight vigil outside all night while singing “We Shall Overcome” that would have been showing solidarity. What you’re describing is attempted frickin’ murder.
