Our public institutions are crumbling, crime is spiking and there seems to be a never-ending litany of ANC looting. Amid this, our politicians are determined to turn our attentions away from their failures, writes ChrisRoper.
As our public institutions crumble, crime spikes and the litany of ANC looting continues unabated, our politicians are determined to turn our attention away from their failuresI genuinely don’t understand. Why would our minister of tourism Lindiwe Sisulu say that, “in the 27 years of government, there have only been three [tourist] deaths — that is a record of safety and that is a record that we would like to keep. And we want to attract tourists to SA. That is our job.
There are three questionable assertions in Sisulu’s statement, which was made after the murder of a 67-year-old German tourist in Numbi, Mpumalanga, last week. The first is the astonishing claim that there have been only three tourist deaths in the entirety of our existence as a democratic country. The second, the equally mind-boggling declaration that SA is safe.
