WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE
It must be getting nearer to election time because the posters are beginning to festoon the lampposts. At the moment, and in Durban, they all seem to be of Tony Leon who seems to get browner each year.
As has become the norm in South Africa the leader parades to represent the party and its policies. The nominated candidates who lurk in the shadows are generally unknown and mostly remain so even after gaining a seat in some forum of government. However, what is causing some light comic relief is that under the smiling picture of Leader Tony is the slogan ‘South Africa deserves Better’. I think I know the intension but what can be – and is being - read into it is the opposite.
Shades of the DA’s ‘Fight Back’ slogan of yesteryear.
