The Cheese Stands Alone is still out there, but I just don’t have time to update two blogs. Why do you ask?

What happened to “The Cheese stands alone”?

Just because 99,9999999999999999999999999% of them are like that does not mean you should generalise.

Comment on Some justice for Bernadine Kruger by Olga McCrindle

Although it’s a breakthough, 12 years hardly seems like justice for what was a thoughtless and heartless act that resulted in the tragic death of a lovely young schoolgirl.

Comment on Obsessed?! That’s an awfully strong word… by Mpho

Huh? Is this a wind up? Black or white coffee is as descriptive as with or without milk. And, in fact, as coffee comes without milk naturally, surely black coffee is the Norm and either white or with milk is the alternative. Eish, people see race everywhere in this country!

However, I agree with the premise in the blog. It is hugely important for the time being that we understand “race” to simply be simply skin colour, because it is on the basis of skin colour that people are being positively or negatively discriminated against by the endemic racism in society. Upper middle class people of colour are, on a daily basis, discriminated against. Until the workplace, etc., demographics finally shift to reflect our true make up, as opposed to white men and then women being overly represented in positions of power and assumed to be “correct”, “law abiding” and “trustworthy” on the basis of their skin tone, then we will not be able to put in place a more sophisticated Normative correction system.

The Buchanan Boyes issue is different. They were courting favour with the JP. Hey they have previous on acting in a despicable manner (see the Cape Law Society v Berrange).

Well put! I agree. There is not political solution. And war is an exercise in futility – I hate war…
Prayer has proven to be the most amazing solution. I have started to pray for Uncle Bob: that he will bow his knee before almighty God. God put him in charge of Zim and if he does not stop mocking God, God will most certainly, take him out.

I agree, theft is theft and there is always a choice to do right or wrong. What I really find loathsome about this petrol theft is that we other poor sods get to pay! That is if it is not taken out of the pump attendant’s pay…

I’ll admit I’m a fence sitter on the matter… I think that the “Imperial West” has no choice as is, but at the same time, if that were true, wouldn’t they have done something by now? They stand a lot to gain from RSA, but not so much from Zim, so in my opinion they will only do something if/when their interests in RSA are at risk. I believe they are at risk right now, but that’s just me… Then again, SADEC and the AU etc. should have done something more than talk and deny crises by now… If they had done that, then there wouldn’t be any need for the “Imperial West” to get involved at all. I think that no matter what happens the blood shed is going to continue (the only difference will be the hand that sheds it) so you have to wonder, if anyone does actually DO anything, will it make any difference?? In short, I agree with your blog… Next topic… COFFEE!!!

Comment on This is War by Cleric

Well… there are just so many things going wrong in South Africa, that it’s hard to focus on one thing and find a solution that will work. Coz as soon as they do something, it fails as ppl don’t care anymore due to the depressing situations or another problem comes to the surface.

If indeed some WAR breaks out… hear me… grab the guns, lock and load, and shoot anything that comes on your propperty.
