The Emperor's New Robes



Because I am on course this week I thought I would take a break from writing and when I received this mail from the DA I decided to share it with all on my data base.

I am reminded of the fairy tale - ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’.
It is a story of a very stupid Emperor. He doesn’t want his subjects to know that he is stupid, so he falls prey to some greedy tricksters who weave a plan to make a lot of money out him. They sell him on the concept of buying some new robes that only the wise can see. For days fake tailors pretend to take his fittings whilst he stands in his underpants. His courtiers “Ooh!”and “Ahh!” their admiration for his new clothes. Then after a few weeks the masses have been informed that the Emperor will be parading in his new clothes. They have also heard the hype that only the wise can see the robes. The Emperor marches through the streets dressed solely in his jocks amidst the adulation of the crowd. The hype and hysteria is incredulous when all of a sudden a small boy who is sitting on his daddy’s shoulders cries out: “Look. He has no clothes on.”

The moral of the story. Wake up guys. Open your eyes. What you see is what you get. Stop believing in the false promises. Stop believing all the lies. The potholes are a reality. The lack of funds for medical care and the huge drop in government hospital facilities is no joke. If you have been to a government hospital of late you will know that you go there to die, not to get better. The state of affairs is worse now than ever before in the history textbooks.

Let’s stop being racists. Let’s use our vote to support a party that has solutions and promises better governance. Let’s take away the leadership from ineffective liars and greedy little capitalists that are sucking our country dry whilst they stockpile their retirement nests. Nkandla is the last straw. Don’t let the president’s below the belt tactics and finger pointing deter you from seeing the truth. The evidence is everywhere. Just open your eyes and observe it. The writing is on the wall. Zuma is not creating a better future for us all. He is creating a better future for the family of Zuma and all his chronies.

All those lies and no accountability. It is time we stand together as one, one Nation, one People. Nelson Mandela would agree. The party he started is not the ANC of today. Let’s be like the small child who spoke his truth. Jesus said you need to be like a small child to enter the kingdom of heaven. You need to have the honesty and authenticity of a child. Let’s take heed of this advice and use the wisdom of the truth, because the truth will set us free.

Act with the wisdom that you have and the innocence of a child. Use your vote RIGHT!!

Have a great week

Love
Nicolette
