Who needs Model-C schools to teach us
The ruling party has no moral compass
When they regularly declare wrong right
When everyday they make black the white
They said they would rid us of
In Biology
Model ANC educated us
Corruption flows through the arms
The submarines
The jets
The helicopters
Into the body politic
Head to foot now infected with
Cancerous greed
Red light whores
With blue light brigades
Selling their souls
And a country’s dreams
To vultures
Was it not in Maths we learned from Model ANC that
Seven-hundred-and-eighty-three charges of
Fraud
Racketeering
Corruption
Plus one man
Equals a President
Minus a conscience
Multiplying treason
Dividing a nation
It was in English
We were taught
That “fire” is a synonym for “swim”
The public purse plundered
For presidential pleasure
Pillage pardoned by a Model ANC parliament
A Public Protector pilloried
For calling the corrupt to account
Model ANC principals enlightened us in Accounting
That principles of accountability
Count for nought
Defraud parliament
Be appointed a cabinet minister
Defeat justice
Become an ambassador
Deceive a tender board
Receive a platinum handshake
Defend the Constitution
Get fired
Then in Woodwork we were instructed
By Model ANC
How to make a cabinet with
Nuts
Loose screws
Disjoints
Not to display but
Dispense the
Family silver
Somewhere else
Model ANC tutored us in Physical Science that
The theory of relativity
Is the practice of enriching your relatives
The gravity of nepotism
Pulling us further down the
Black Hole of
Looted hopes
We learn in Geography from Model ANC teachers that
Illegal
Illicit
Just plane ill
Flows of riches are now
More acceptable
To Asia than Europe
To Dubai than Zurich
To Saxonwold than
Soweto
Stanger
Strandfontein
Even in extra-mural activities
The football World Cup
Model ANC schooled us
To abuse public resources
Or public office for personal gain
Is practice worthy of
Admiration
Normalisation
Celebration
Who needs Model C or
Any other qualification anyway
When Model ANC has shown us
False qualifications
Fallacious CVs
Fake experience
Are sufficient
To run
The public broadcaster
State-owned companies
Government departments
Into the ground
And so we wake to another day
To be schooled by Model ANC
In yet another Masterclass of Corruption
Thanks for this Mike. We could change Model ANC to APC in Nigeria and the message of the piece wouldn’t change one iota. Which way, Afrika?
