Security obsession

-

It is glaringly apparent that the “I didn’t struggle to be poor” privileged crowd are no sharers. They claim to be carers but that is a dud, because the Robin Hood effect is not in them.

This to me is exposed by the fixation or obsession with security installati­ons and upgrades – to have the latest in personal home protection.

It can only mean the cash that abounds above their regular, legal, above-board pay is too much and cannot be banked, laundered or given away, for it will bring unwanted attention.

These houses or homes are filled with illicit cash, in other words our money, but because of the gargantuan sense of entitlemen­t, they are not ashamed but actually are chuffed and cannot believe the good fortune for them and their loved ones.

This is akin to psychopath­s who have no sense of right and wrong but do as they please.

The dearth of conscience, decency and morality can only be compared to apartheid leaders, killers, beneficiar­ies and benefactor­s.

The likes of Linda Mti are from PE – they see the grinding poverty when they drive around the townships in their fancy cars and enjoy the adulation and respect when people see them at funerals or drinking holes and traditiona­l occasions.

Treasonous criminalit­y is what these people are engaged in. Their denials are like children caught red-handed, or rather a man caught by his wife sleeping with another woman and insisting that it is not what it seems. Simply despicable.
