A Pee in the Parks Ends in a Shoot Out

This is really a leap of assumption but why does this kind of thing happen in South Africa? Sounds more like a barroom brawl in binge drinking UK. Chances are it was the clash between an innocent offender and officious security guards!



So what do you think? Am I way off the mark?

25 Ministers Have Missed Oral Question Time in Parliament & Without Explanation!

The Democratic Alliance (DA) has found that of the 34 ministers in President Jacob Zuma's cabinet that have failed to appear before Parliament for oral questioning, 11 didn't even bother giving an explanation for their absence.



This is a reinforcement of the point made often in these posts that ministers see themselves as superior to the rest of us. Not attending and then not providing an explanation is not the way most people behave towards their employers and is also in breech of parliamentary rules.

The DA said

“This raises concerns about why ministers no longer feel compelled to inform Parliament when they miss a scheduled appearance before it.”

“Such conduct perpetuates the perception that government ministers increasingly regard themselves as above Parliament, rather than accountable to it,” party leader Hellen Zille's spokeswoman Priya Reddy said.

The ANC said

...the absence have been noted and they were confident of an improvement.
