It was the night before the 15th and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse. And then the 15th came... and went without fanfare or drama. Surprising? I think not.
The Private Sector Organisation who gave the ultimatum uttered not a word. The Prime Minister who is a man of calculated words had nothing to say. The Leader of the Opposition whom all would expect to say something considering that an election year is around the corner also had no comments. And are we surprised by this speechlessness from the leaders of this society? I think not.
There was however one thing that was clearly brought to the fore in this, that everyone had mud to sling and even the self righteous were brought low. Still the ripple effects of the problems continue the murder rate is now approaching 800 that would mean that within the space of 3 weeks over 100 people have died. Still we hear the deafening sound of silence. And the voices of the victims of crime and violence echo even more loudly in the silence. But what is the message that it sends to the rest of the nation? Apathy, fear, inertia, or just the calm before we storm the bastion of crime, corruption and immorality?
Well all voices returned when Asafa broke the 100 meter world record I am very proud of his accomplishments.
Thank God for sports. Do you think that maybe we could get another public holiday?
Oops... here we go again with the silence.
