The politricks of politics

Some time ago I was all tjatjarag, excited about the upcoming elections. However, the novelty and excitement has died down. Why? I just don’t get a positive vibe about the elections. After casting my vote, I’m probably going to chill with a few peeps and dissect the outcome and the long journey we would have taken to reach this year’s elections.

I won’t go into the nitty gritty, but with Sir G’s death, the arrest of certain journalists, the endless break-ins and assaults, as well as the mudslinging between political parties; we have had more than enough going in.

Anyways, I have been following the Btv and Gabz FM debates, when my schedule allows.  I have found them quite interesting; sans the short time they are allocated. What I have found most interesting is that not all our politicians are good speakers! I’m not the best public speaker around. I struggle to articulate myself verbally, and it suites me fine since I’m generally, reserved and soft-spoken, so I have deep-seated admiration for gifted orators.

Congratulations Anicia Gaothuse!

The contest had 10 beautiful young girls as finalists and unfortunately only one could wear the crown.The judges picked Anicia Gaothuse. To all those who feel their contestant should have won ahead of Anicia for whatever reason, hardly; the judges found Anicia to be the best among the best, so desist from disrespecting our newly crowned queen on social media or anywhere else, for that matter! Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
