…In this life of VAT, Political instability, Gossip , Anger & Betrayal we will never achieve the same things and reach the same goals
After hearing one of my ex girlfriends (amongst the many) spewing bile about my background which she claims to have known at the drinking holes in the city where yours truly was bleached with disgraceful information about my past (which I am forced to admit that 65% of such is true). At first I did not take such kindly because it is not hidden fact that I was raised in a stick and mud house with electricity reaching our tiny hours six years after the hit of the millennium.
It is for this reason that I respect her for being open to me even though she was equally shocked that I am from a poor background and had a lot of run-ins with crimes on my heydays of youth. It is good that such was revealed because it made me feel inspired to write this piece and tell teach that world that most locals are always battling with reality that most of the successful men in the country came from those stick and mud –paraffin lamped houses.
They are the same people who considered an avocado season to be a blessing because their families never stressed about putting something on the table. I mean these are the ones who have dismally failed while on throne of political power and have treated all the poor with disrespect while fattening their pot bellies on the much availed funds.
Judging from the current situation our country is facing I have noticed that there is a vast inequality of wealth distribution which has been cause by the private ownership on the real estate and production sector.
If one would have at least ten seconds and run around the country’s main cities and check who the landlord is Mr Zhasjkkr from some planet beyond earth. One trained eye like yours truly there is just kicking himself wondering what will the ordinary Swazi own in the next six months-Nada; kute, vokol; everything has been been taken by our foreign friends but we made to suffer on the unfamiliar VAT attack with earning still motionless for the good or worse (I am just confused).
Social, intellectual and economic inequalities that arise from hard work, self-discipline and superior IQ are everywhere to be seen in the country. They are a natural state whereby those endowed with such qualities will rise in social status, if they so wish, and to whom the benefits of wealth will accrue.
It is no hidden factor that our natural habitation provides no evidence as it is enscribed in the Holy Bible that “Men were created equal” and that all that we will achieve in life will always be the same. While my Government is against the proposed mass action by local unions , the ordinary neutral Swazi has been left shaking in fear of the unknown.
It is no hidden fact that while the masses are shaking in fear there is a minority group of Swazis who are not concerned of the developments but continue to sit in the country’s hotels boardrooms with a sole intention of creating a successful business and have even forgotten that the word charity exists. These generate huge wealth and their products have immeasurably improved the living standards of their porch backyards than 999 233 Swazis suffering.
It is no hidden fact that these individuals exist to make money and profit so they can meet demands of the faceless investors in order for them to be able to re-invest the capital to make more products thus at the end of the day handsomely rewards its shareholders and two weeks ago I was taken aback by the sudden closure of the country’s only multi million facility and I find it strange that someone within its hierarchy is failing to own up on the consequences which have led to the Swaziland Association Nurses withdrawing its nursing staff from the facility. I am also wondering as to why no one fueled the investigation of the death of two orderlies (with the last medical report reported missing). Government has never set up this facility to resemble a death camp where the old, weak and vulnerable would be subjected to political indifferences which would put their lives in danger.
This is just not a funny affair where I see some of the health politicians live on the backs of others and are not concerned about the people dying of TB but they are quick to jump to the streets
I just wish to see Swaziland being a more caring and equal society which is one of compulsory equality and even higher levels of taxation to support an ever growing welfare parasite class.
