SA laughs through political tension

In recent weeks, South Africa has been on a political knife edge.
Following the election, political parties have been meeting, negotiating, engaging, pointing fingers and negotiating some more to get to the point the country is at today.
The weeks leading up to finalising the Government of National Unity have been tense.
But at last, there was relief when ministers were sworn in on Wednesday.
And in true South African style, the country collapsed into collective giggles, thanks to the antics of some of the political leaders.

I don't understand people like you. So what must they do? Cry? They're humans too. As much as I dislike most of our politicians and leaders it doesn't mean we must be inhumane towards them. They're humans and they can interact with each other. Rather that than them fighting each other like they do in Parliament.

Back in 2007, blade usef to frequent the restaurant that i managed. Usualy up to 10 pax. His bodyguards would sit at a different table. He would order R500 bottles of wine and they would order the most expensive meals. I heard one of his guests ask about the price of the meals and wine and he replied. Its ok. The government pays for it all. Their biggest bill was an average of R705 per person, that we, the taxpayers had to pay for
