What a waste!!!


The South African government decided a while ago that they need to change all names that stem from the apartheid era, talk about holding a grudge. I didn’t mind when it was small changes but now they’ve gone and changed Johannesburg International Airport to O. R. Thambo Airport.

Let me tell you a little something… in this country 30% of the people don’t have jobs. That means 30% is starving, and that means 30% needs to steal, kill or hi-jack cars to get some sort of income and that’s not even taking into account the children that are starving, dying of diseases or growing-up without an education meaning that they to will become part of the now 30%.

Like I said, I don’t mind the small changes, but taking food or education away from an already deprived child is just wrong. There is no way to justify spending millions of Rands on changing a name when there is a hungry child.
