No, no, no, you never know. I am glazed with a gaze. I have a gaze glaze. Innocent expressions masking monstrous actions. Geryon. Big innocent eyes. Well-presented, charming like Zuma. Like an ice-cream truck. Like any big corporation with a public relations department. Eskom is not trying; this is what they want — to be on the verge of collapse, holding the country to ransom. Same with Transnet. All the politicians presenting themselves, always so concerned, seemingly, from their plush scenarios.

The Mona Lisa smiles, stretching to grins, stretching to Cheshire cat grimaces. Even now that Zuma is out of power, he still walks free; they can't even get him to serve an 18-month jail sentence. Ramaphosa signs something to make that happen. They are big buddies, apparently. What white president has ever let the electricity situation come to this? No more ANC for me. No more majority black governments for me. White South Africans have been paying since the 1980s in the form of tax, charity, and lost opportunities. Large swathes of this money and opportunity have been directed to black people. White South Africans have paid.
