‘United we stand, divided we fall’
SOUTH Africans’ opinions of themselves have always been a little over-inflated. Nobody can be as awesome as us, we say pointing to a hat-trick of rugby World Cups and an awesome 2010 soccer world cup for which we awarded ourselves a gold medal for hosting.
Nobody can be as as us either, we’ll tell you, pointing to politicians who have no sense of irony and couldn’t spell shame if you showed it to them in the dictionary or an ex-president who robbed us blind and perverted justice. We’ve got pastors that spray Doom on their congregants as communion or raise them from the dead only for them to die 10 days later.
