CORRUPTION MASTERCLASS

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
