Suuushi Already!

I mean shush it, shut up, thula'msindo! I have just about had it with this sushi story because - yes you have guessed right - it is not a bloody story! Some guy spent some time in prison for fraud, came out, started a business or three, made some money, threw some parties, etc. Now this guy has become the very barometer by which we measure the state of the rainbow nation!

Why is this a story? Why is it of importance to the public that some guy surrounded himself with music videos girls at his birthday party, also ate sushi off one of such show lasses? Blues restaurant has been doing this for years! Beautiful blondes in jeans and exciting tops to serve the clientele! Footballers, playboys with money, Kerzner, Hefner - you name them, they have lots of money (by the looks of it) and they all have hot girls grace their parties and everybody loves it or so it seems. So, what makes Kenny different?

Mr Vavi came out guns blazing on some self-righteous bullshit of how Kenny was rubbing his faecal wealth on the faces of the poor. What a load of bull! The poor get to watch the people they elected to look after the poor's welfare drive down the road in flashy cars with blue light escort! The poor get to watch other kids go to school in flashy uniforms and their own kids get knocked up by the very teacher who are supposed to be "in loco parentis"! The poor get to listen to Vavi support the walk out of the classrooms by the teachers to the detriment fo the children of the poor. This is long before the poor get to see a week old SundayTimes portraying Kenny and the video girls.

Oh, you will of course remember that the lead communist, Dr Nzimande himself, stepped off his beemer to add to the criticism of the king of sushi. Then he walked off the podium and into his million rand plus worth car and drove off or rather was driven off to some palatial abode for the night.Kenny has publicly said that he didn't get his money from the government or from his relationship with the government. Personally I think the brother is talking crap but hey, that is a matter for another post. I do however know for sure that the South African citizenry paid for Blade's car and his hotel accomodation. Insofar as Kenny is a thief go after his ass and send him back to Bloem prison otherwise, save us the self-righteous bullshit.

There are stories out there. Stories worth telling. Stories worth the honour of being called a newspaper.
