There’s a woman on TikTok named Olive. She shows South Africans how to cook affordable meals to help them get through the month. She also uses donations and her own money to feed the poor. Hundreds, maybe thousands every month. Your president just burned R7 million on a spectacle. Bloated politicians in designer outfits worth more than your annual salary. A red carpet parade funded by the same taxpayers who can’t afford school fees or new clothes for their children. You stretch every cent, while they sip champagne and lecture you about progress. They tell you the country has turned a corner while your budget says otherwise. They tell you the economy is recovering while you cut back on groceries. They tell you to stop believing your lying eyes, ears and bank balance. 1 woman feeds the hungry with almost nothing. The state feasts on trillions and demands applause for failure. You think you hate politicians enough, but trust me, you don’t.
