As we dig our way out of the debris of the Zuma years, SA should take a long hard look in the mirror.
Boetie lived in one of those white working-class council houses and at 32 had almost drowned on a fishing trip, had escaped unscathed from the wreck of a car and had been electrocuted when he touched a live wire.
The run of “bad luck” for Boetie began on a fishing trip off St Helena Bay. On board were Boetie, his younger brother, his half-sister and a friend. The snoek were running and the boat was packed to the gunwales.“The sea got really rough. We noticed lots of other boats heading back to the quay [red flag, red flag]. Next thing we knew, we were being hit by 5-metre waves.
Their boat, with gaping holes, was towed back to Cape Town, where Boetie parked it next to a nearby afdak when … “it suddenly caught fire”.Of the finger of fate that had been prodding him, Boetie had this to say: “I don’t know what I have done to deserve this. I don’t have any enemies and I always help people.”
