ATM Bombing in Delft

The mense of Delft woke up to a loud explosion at about 1:05am this morning. According to my source people living close by were too afraid to inspect what caused the explosion and rumours quickly filled the air that it might again have been an ATM bombing as it sounded similar to an explosion that happened in the past.

Only at about 8am did my source confirm that it was indeed an ATM bombing. Police and Cash-in-Transit officers were present and it has not been confirmed whether the skelms got away with any money.

All this makes me think of a conversation I once had with a guy from Zimbabwe. He said he knows some of the people involved with these type of operations and also those cash-in-transit heists we so often hear about. According to him these guys are highly trained ex-military men and are heavily armed with strong underground connections. He also mentioned that some of these guys live in the Delft area and he was told if anyone ever gave him any trouble, he should just let them know and he won’t hear from whoever troubled him again.

Mense there are things happening right under our noses that we are unaware of and it’s scary what these people get away with, because in many cases they also have contacts within our Police force too. And why are our cops corrucpt?... Because government believes that a starting salary of about R3 500 to R4 000 is enough for these men and women to risk their lives for the safety of others. Well I think government has a lot of re-planning and rethinking to do.

Coloured Boytjie now Born Again Christian

Hello people. I know it has been a while since I posted anything new. This has been due to a personal reform.

I have given my life to the Lord Jesus and devoted myself to doing his works. This decision will of course impact the time I spend updating this blog as I spend more time now reading the bible and keeping up to date with other things which I now believe to be important than anything I have ever done in my life.

So there you have  it. My life has been changed. Jesus is my savior. God bless all of you.

Paris Jackson pays tribute to Michael

Yor last night I was watching Michael Jackson's memorial service and me being a harde-gat coloured bratjie I mos don't wanna show emotion or chunk in front of the motchie..

With the entire line up of celebs paying tribute I thought Usher's was the most heart melting when he walked up to the coffin singing Gone Too Soon and had to stop for a while to control his tears from falling before he finished the song... that was until Michael's daughter Paris Jackson went to the mic.

She only said a few words, yet hers was the most powerful and I just couldn't hold back the tears anymore ekse! Yor I had a moerse knop in my keel and tried to hold back the loud chunking but couldn't stop the tears.

So now I think its time I pay my own tribute... Ou MJ my broe, despite all the kak that went on in your life I was always a moerse fan. My laaities might not know who you are now, but I'll make blerrie sure they get to know your music and the legend that you are... Salute my broe!

If Mandela Dies, Blacks Will Take Over

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this for a week now. You check last weekend I was laming with my motchie, my one female cousin, my male cousin and his sister’s daakie boyfriend in Delft drinking three beers. The conversation somehow went to Helen Zille and that led to the daakie bra saying something that started up a moerse debate.

He said that the people of Khayelitsha have stored guns and other weapons and are waiting for the day that Nelson Mandela dies, then they will start a riot and take over South Africa, because “South Africa belongs to the black people” and no white man will at that time be able to come into the black townships. He also said that they will attack all white people in South Africa. What crap is that? Isn’t apartheid supposed to be a thing of the past?

He added that if he goes looking for a job one of these days, no company is going to tell him they don’t have work for him. He will just force them to give him a job, because “this country belongs to my people”. He will also just go into any shop and take what he wants without paying if he is hungry and won’t allow himself to be arrested, because he has a right to eat whenever he wants to... Now I look at this bra and wys him, “my broe where do you get that stupid mentality from? You can’t just expect to get things easily without having to work for it”

He then says it’s not a stupid way of thinking... “us black people from Khayelitsha and Gugulethu were the one’s that fought for freedom so that people like you can enjoy life the way it is today”..

I then ask him, “Do you know what happened during the days of the riots?” As I expected he said he never saw it for himself, but heard what his older family members said about it. I then told him that as far as I know, us coloured mense were just as involved as the daakies with fighting for freedom... we also had people die... I myself suffered the effects of tear-gas and having to run from school, because school ended early due to riots and men in brown uniforms sitting in Caspers shooting rubber bullets and tear-gas and the grown-ups around me and other kids fighting back with stones and petrol bombs, so don’t tell me our people didn’t help fight for freedom.

I then nicely excused myself and said I don’t have time to listen to such bullshit...

Criminals more rights than victims: Zuma speaks out

Ou Jacob Zuma wys yesterday that it is unacceptable that there is a public perception that criminals seem to have more rights than victims of crime. He called for a reassessment of the approach through which perpetrators of crime are granted bail.

All of us on the flats have all seen how one bra can kill, rape, rob or whatever else there is... what sometimes follows is that they get arrested, but then tomorrow we just see them smiling on the corner again, seeking out the next victim. Why?... because they know how easy it is to get bail and not long, dockets go missing and nothing ever comes of the skelm.

I’m glad Zuma sees how unfair this is towards victims of crime, but I don’t think only reassessing the grounds on which they get bail is all that needs to be done to change public perception that criminals have more rights than victims. I think one of the major things that should change is that if I for example vang a bra who broke in to my house or braking into my car and I moer the kak out of him, I shouldn’t be arrested along with him... Then he still gets the option of laying a charge of assault against me... What kak is that?

If a bra rapes one of my daughters am I then just supposed to leave him, phone the police and hope and pray they catch him after he runs away? No ways!... I’ll make him vrek, kap his bal af then phone the boere. After that they can ma arrest me if they want to.

So to Zuma... I was never an ANC supporter much less am I happy that you of all people are President, but I like the fact that you brought this issue to light and hope that you also look into the issues I raised here and not just the bail thing. Also I hope you aren’t just window dressing by raising such an issue and have nothing do about it. I say stop looking into it and make an immediate change.. maybe then you will gain my respect and those of others...

Flake: One bite and all resistance crumbles

Yesterday me and the motchie was talking about different chocolates. We realized that some of them were no longer in the shops, like I haven’t seen Rolo in a while for instance… Take Two is gone, Tempo is on it’s way out and so is TV bar I think.

We also talked about how different chocolates tasted now compared to a few years back. I mean Bar One was my favourite until they started making it super sweet (must be when they changed it from a 24 hour day to a 25 hour day) and Peppermint Crisp now has more mint in it than chocolate. Back in the day it had small mint pieces in it.

The there’s Flake… now this one hasn’t changed much and there is one thing in particular that stayed the same: One bite and all resitance crumbles…

What is should say, in Afrikaans that is, is “Een byt en daar is fokol meer oor nie”…

New cellphone law

As of 1 July all cell phone users, including those with pre-paid sim cards, will have to re-register our sim cards with our ID bookies and proof of address.

We have 18 months to do so or our sims will be deactivated. Apparently this new law is supposed to help fight crime. The new law also enables government authorities to eaves drop on our conversation, provided a judge has given the order. Whatever happened to our right to privacy?

I think this whole thing is just plain kak, but as with all other political decisions, we have no say and never really did and we can do nothing about it. This is the "democracy" some of us voted for ne! Don't you just wish you never voted for this government a few years ago?

Well mense you were warned and now ITS TOO LATE!
