YOUR STORY
I'm not a crook either...
08/05/2008 12:41  - (SA)  

Brandon Faber, News24 User

I plan on running for president in the next general election.

Those of you unfortunate enough to know me will realise what a big thing this is... Man, I hate running. But I am willing to do it for you, people of South Africa. I am willing to sacrifice my struggle-given-freedoms for you ladies, gentlemen and, yes, even you - flathead bouncers from Hatfield.

Today I declare my candidacy, my intent to rule, to govern, to lead...

Alas, since Reverend Zuma has called dibs on heavenly endorsement and all things divine - I've had to find a different running mate. The good Lord can only back one horse at a time you know and, clearly, he/she has bestowed that honour on Jacob.

"He's not a crook", after all.

It's been tough going finding the appropriate running mate I'll have you know. I've invested at least 34 minutes of semi-conscious thought and ogling wet T-shirt pics online but, finally, I think I have a winner.

Friends, members of the Pan African Parliament (PAP) - I am proud to announce that The Magical Mr Mistoffelees has selflessly agreed to not only endorse my campaign but, also, be my running mate. Since he's the original conjuring cat I don't think I could have done any better - bar the Big Boss him/herself.

Anyway, without further ado - this is our campaign manifesto:

1. We promise to blame any and all failings on Hendrik Verwoerd and his grumpy white men of yesteryear - bastards.

2. We endeavour to wine and dine to heart's content with your tax money and promise to call you racist swines harking back for the days of apartheid should you dare question our right to squander your cash.

3. We, the two people (well sort of), promise to lie, cheat, steal, connive, collaborate with corrupt cronies and defeat the ends of justice as and when we see fit.

4. We also promise to only uphold the constitution of the land when deemed necessary to defend the rights of friends with money and/or dirty little secrets we'd rather not discuss in the Sunday papers.

5. Rest assured, we plan on attacking press freedom at every turn, on implementing foreign policies to suit our war mongering mates and will offer to purchase every wailing white a one way ticket to Perth - should we hear any more bitching about crime? if you don't like it, you can leave.

6. Lastly we'd like to impress upon you that just because Reverend Zuma says the ANC has the God-given right to lead this country until the day Riaan Cruywagen retires from the SABC and Spur Steak ranches commission a decent TV commercial, it does not necessarily mean you should believe him.

As far as we know the dear Lord is too busy leading the chosen people in a war of attrition in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea and some farm outside Delmas where paper-hat-wearing followers call their fornicating leader "Father", to pay much attention to the statements of a statesman that is, actually, still stateless.

Mr Mistoffelees and I reckon we've got a fair chance of leading this nation with skill and intelligence equal to anyone over the past 100 years...

You may argue that a magical cat and a melancholic male are not fit to rule but who are you anyway? The people of this country need not think for themselves - after all. I promise my useless rule will be just as, well, useless as the best we've ever had.

At least I know I'm insane... if nothing else.

You have my vote...and my cat's! - Zee
 
  Plagiarism!
08/05/2008 12:51
Dude! Your article's quite funny, but it is copyright infringement to take the ANC's constitution and rebrand it as your 'campaign manifesto' - Juan
 
  Brilliant as always...
08/05/2008 12:52
Were it not for the sad fact that this is too TRUE, I would have fallen off my chair laughing. Keep up the good humour... - Currently Disadvantaged
 
  Ticket to Perth

Please provide me with your address details so I send you your ticket to Perth. You can bet on me sending it via express mail. - Hero Nakamura
 
  Brilliant
08/05/2008 12:53
Excellent humour while making some solid points. I would've gone with Dumbledore though. - Ash
 
  YES
08/05/2008 12:54
You now have two votes. Check the ballats and results please! - deMoerin
 
  .....
08/05/2008 12:55
Oh no, now I have that song from Cats running through my head. You still have my vote. - not a Andre Lloyd Webber fan
 
  lol
08/05/2008 12:58
What a very funny piece. Thanks for the laugh hehehe... - Myth
 
  Mmmmmmm
08/05/2008 12:58
A good lunch-time laugh.... Thanks - ss
 
  Viva!!
08/05/2008 13:01
U have got my vote!! A very well written & funny piece. So sad "Hero Nakamura" can't see the funny side of it. On the other hand, maybe its not funny to him as he is himself a ANC supporter??!! - Werner
 
  PAP
08/05/2008 13:02
You have my vote, as the DA dont seem to be doing much for me....... - cvz
 
  BF for president
08/05/2008 13:02
Brandon, you forgot one very important point. What about fridges and washing machines falling from the sky? - Wow!
 
  Funny, good points, but...
08/05/2008 13:03
Show me and the rest of the majority ONE opposition party that can CONVINCE us to vote for them - and we will! We all need change - better change. But at the moment, no one is convincing enough to the majority. - Athi
 
  @ Hero
08/05/2008 13:03
Good point Juan. LOL. Don't bother Hero, mail very rarely finds the correct destiny these days, say no more. Feel free to hand deliver it along with your ballot paper with a cross next to the mugshot seen above. - John Camp
 
  ROTFLMAO
08/05/2008 13:03
Brandon you are a funny guy - had a good giggle thx :o) - stack
 
  I thort....you'd left our bonny shores!
08/05/2008 13:04
Hey must admit u are one opportunistic limelight-seeker. But remember to get FF+ and Solidarity on board as your campaign managers/team. But what about yr mickey-mouse party(DA), will they discipline you now that you wanna be an Independent? Also you forgot something...where is yr struggle credentials? You shud be able to manufacture something! - Cape Town Kid
 
  election
08/05/2008 13:04
Could you promise to not fix our roads, not to employ qualified people to lead Eskom/ Telkom, employ more corrupt police officers, and increase the percentages paid to the "comrades" who work so hard during the "Mafia" style tendor negotiations which are making our country such a wonderful place to do business if you're honest!!! - Ham
 
  Hero Nakamura
08/05/2008 13:05
...can you actually deny anything that has been written in that article? hmmm...if you bother to actually think about it, i'm sure you'll realise that you CANNOT! - D
 
  Brandon for Pressie!
08/05/2008 13:11
A good chuckle to say the least! You have my vote dude! In fact you can have all 5 of them! Now, off to the pub I go ... - Joe Public
 
  Pick me!!
08/05/2008 13:13
Please pick me as one of your MP's when you get to Parly... Maybe as Min of Health. Im narrow-minded, dont care about sick babies, love garlic and can pish it up with the besht of em.... - Marko Bangshlang-elang
 
  Cat's up! to Brandon and Hero (?Kolobe too?)
08/05/2008 13:15
Hero, please relax. There's no racism here, just satire. Few of us trust any politician.My white grandfather was one. You couldn't tell him any negative news. He would distort it for his own amusement and sit back and watch the huge family fight that followed. As a cat lover, Brandon has got my vote!Let's have a nice cat fight and a bowl of cream!The whiners can have cheap cat food, that's all they'll be able to afford in Oz, anyway! - Doc Lize
 
  No way
08/05/2008 13:17
Despite good credentials you will unfortunately not be considered. Thing is, the fact that you are not a crook actually counts against you. If you do not know what a crook is we could reconsider. You need to prove incompetence Brandon Faber. Try less and achieve more! - Dries
 
  Youth League
08/05/2008 13:18
Does your party have a Youth League - want to be the YL President, even thogh I am 37yrs. Also decided that I want to be an MP - need to find myself a little corner in parliment and keep a low profile for 5 years. Hopefully there will be an arms deal or 2 then. - Alvin
 
  Finally!
08/05/2008 13:18
Finally someone worth while voting for! You have my vote. Hero Nakamura get a life, and a sense of humour. - AS
 
  Here's my vote...
08/05/2008 13:18
that's what, five or six votes now? If you apply the Mugabe method for winning elections, you should now have enough to win by at least...oh, say...fourty two million or so votes. A walk in the park. - jonathan
 
  Hey Hero Nakamura!
08/05/2008 13:19
Got anymore of those tickets to perth!? They are in short supply at the moment! If so, I'll take one! - nn
 
  Hey Brandon
08/05/2008 13:20
Keen to buy some military hardware?Give me a call, I'll throw in a couple of luxury cars for you and your mates and family.Really big ones so that you all fit in.I hope your running partner is a fat cat I've got the perfect private jet for him.Don't be shy now,nobody has know. - psyocbabble
 
  y do u joke about serious staff?
08/05/2008 13:20
these things are a true reflection of our country and u joke about! - KETSO
 
  Funny Man Brandon
08/05/2008 13:22
A party leader with a sense of humour gets my vote particularly if he makes all the current scamsters in parliament go and live in the RDP houses in the townships WITHOUT R90,000,000 walls and bodyguards to protect him and his cronies on the grants they are not paying and take away their right to First World medical care and transport too. For at least the rest of their lives. - GailC
 
  Beautiful!!
08/05/2008 13:22
Thanks Brandon.. really enjoyed your article! It's funny that all you had to do was copy our exisitng ANC policies etc to make all the users burst with laughter! Bush, Brown and peanuts probably come to our parliament for Sunday stand up comedy, and then even still get FREE bread and wine from Zuma!! - Grant
 
  I will vot for you if?
08/05/2008 13:23
I will vote for you only if you employ as minister of foriegn affairs. I would like to travel the world, drink the best wine, try out the best women and all at tax payers expense. Oh, before I forget you would need to expand my entertainment allowance R 1,000,000.00 per month is not enough the ladies and drink is expensive in Europe. - Pangea
 
  Mr Mistoffelees
08/05/2008 13:27
Sounded very much like Mr Mike Stofile the former vice president of SARU for a minute, so I was hesitant to give you my vote but after quick google I see he is a black cat so he gets my vote, but only cause he fills in the BEE quota requirement I issue for all my votes... - me
 
  Addition to your Campaign Manifesto
08/05/2008 13:27
Brilliant article! LOL! How about adding something to your campaign manifesto: "We solemnly undertake to defend democracy and not to condone any autocratic ruler except when it applies to Zimbabwe or Robert Mugabe" - Cynical
 
  Nice one, however
08/05/2008 13:27
I think making fun of a bad situation is an attempt of acceptance. Yet, reading all the usual ignorant idiots reponses namely Cape town twit and hero moron, one gets a dim picture of the future of the country. - Realist
 
  4 votes here +1
08/05/2008 13:28
Our four cats will vote for you, purely based on your running mate, and I will vote for you... same reason! :) I want to be Minister of Finance, then I have access to the Treasure, and can play around with the interest rate... yeah! - Bob
 
  While you so happily play the joker due to ..
08/05/2008 13:28
your inferiority complex, please keep God out of your jokes. You might just end up in a place in your life where you need Him. - marius
 
  Grow Up please....
08/05/2008 13:28
We are suppose to be solving important issues and all you do is crack jokes.People are dying and all you do is joke around with your nonsense...I guess thats why the world thinks that we are a joke of a contry... - Kolobe
 
  Hero Nakamura
08/05/2008 13:30
You gonna use the money you got from the bribe and the luxury cars to buy that ticket for Perth? Maybe you'll be great for Brandons party. Love it Brandon!!! - Win
 
  You got my vote too...
08/05/2008 13:30
Just one question - if you stick to your party's manifesto, how will I know when you are voted in and we have a change of government? A really good laugh. - Jann
 
  Hau Comrade Brandon ...

  Kolobe
08/05/2008 13:34
No Kolobe, the fact that everything Brandon jokes about, is based on actual facts. That is wht the world thinks we are a joke of a "cuntry" - Johann
 
  We need to hear more from you Brandon.
08/05/2008 13:35
Hey Brandon. Great article! I would like to hear more from you, can you setup a group on Facebook? Your outlook on life really puts things into perspective for me. People keep telling me I am negative, but from the posts I see here, I am part of a growing number of people that think this Country is history. - Ryan
 
  Marius
08/05/2008 13:36
That place in Brandons life is now like all of us including JZ.What you're saying is we only need God when we're desperate.It seems that way now in SA does'nt it? - Only God Knows

08/05/2008 13:37
You have highlighted most of the social ills and the corrupt officials in govenment. Wee done. Can't stop laughing. I wonder what Kolobe is thinking right now. - Concerned
 
  KOLOBE???
08/05/2008 13:37
I was waiting for your banter and wasnt dissapointed. Yes lets all follow in you actions and positive thinking. You seem to have an answer for everthing. Get a life please!!! - deMoerin
 
  How can we trust you
08/05/2008 13:38
After thinking about this, how do I know that if I vote for you, you won't get a conscience? I am worried that you may display honesty and integrity. If you do that before long you may even have a backbone. That would make Thabo & kolobetjie very unhappy. - Dries
 
  Kolobe
08/05/2008 13:38
No mate...they think we are a joke of a country because of people like YOU..... - SC
 
  Why is it?
08/05/2008 13:39
That black people do not have a sense of humor? Lighten up people. A joke is a joke. South Africans like to joke about stuff that is worrying. - WhiteGuy
 
  Grow up please-Kolobe
08/05/2008 13:41
Nothing wrong with cracking a joke bud. The world thinks we are a joke because of the governments policies and actions...(non action in Zims case) Lastly, the people vote and now the government rule..not govern, they rule. If you want change, change your vote!! - Boerseun
 
  kolobe- actually the reason the world thinks sa is a joke
08/05/2008 13:43
is that our impotent president refuses to denounce the actions of the murderous scum that operates with impunity on our doorstep. read any article by an international paper or magazine on this topic and you will see this is the worlds viewpoint. - grant

either on the parli or on the plane does not matter. You got my vote. At all the other people that take this article seriously please lighten up. You can only open news 24 and see rape murder and corruption. Wre need humour sometime just to dampen the crisis. Thats the problem these day we cant laugh at ourselves anymore. - AcidO
 
  Brandon, I am sure...
08/05/2008 13:46
That u dont need me to say, excellent humour,but there i have said it anyway.CAPE TOWN kid, what the hell are u on about.Think u should go away and come back when u r a CAPE TOWN MAN, maybe then u will understand whats going on...Kolobe, if we r not laughing, we r crying.I would rather laugh at the mess we r in than cry about it.. - nWo
 
  Kolobe
08/05/2008 13:48
You said, the world does think SA is a joke of a country ;) By the way, the previous article regarding rapists was a serious issue, but you and friends could only argue about politics and Jacob Zuma. But now, you want to be serious. Brandon, well done and very funny but true !!! - dhv
 
  @kolobe
08/05/2008 13:49

You've got another vote as long as you promise to appoint Rev. Frank Chikane as Minister of Values and integrity. He has proven his ability to lie over the last day or so and richly deserves the recognition. As for Kolobe and Hero, wake up to the truth and stop listening to the liars you are following so blindly and obediently. http://blogspace.mweb.co.za/site/alias__Geoann/58821/default.aspx - George A
 
  Kolobe's right!

08/05/2008 14:14
Why are you always so grumpy? Those chips on your shoulders must be irritating you. Which important issues exactly are you solving. None of us are solving anything, we are just discussing, venting or having a laugh. If we all had to cry everytime somebody was killed or raped in this country we would be one miserable nation. We have to laugh to try and keep ourselves sane. Laughter is the best medicine and this nation needs it.Thanks Dr Brandon for my dose, it will keep me going just for today.... - Karen
 
  Not funny?
08/05/2008 14:14
To everybody that thinks Brandon is only trying to be funny, I have some awful news for you. This is what is called IRONY. It's actually based on what is really happening here. Now go laugh your asses off, idiots. I was going to mention black humor too, but I don't think everybody gets that one... well written, Brandon! I'll vote for you! - Barb

  Why is it also?
08/05/2008 14:16
that certain people (please note my lack of racial bias here) can dance, smile, laugh, clap, thoi-thoi, etc.. about serious issues like rapists, money, "Jacob Zuma", yet cannot even crack a smile for a well-written funny article? Makes one question their priorities. - AlsoWhite

You seem to comment on every single article published on News24, and not once, but a number of times. I would really like to have your job, because it seems that you spend your whole day on the internet! - Anon

Kolobe has spoken. We should not laugh or joke or have any fun at all until all the problems of the world have been solved. Until then....serious faces everybody - no laughing allowed. Smoking makes people laugh unnecessarily??? Pass the dutchie on the left hand side hahahahahahaha - Karen
 
  Sense of Humour

Geez, if people find this humourous, this could explain why Afrikaners were thought to lack a sense of humour. Its seems now they will laugh at even poor attempts at satire. Oh well, one has to congratulate the attempt at being funny at the expense of others. Afterall, satirists hardly ever laugh at their own faults, choosing rather to laugh at others. - L
 
  Oh come on !!!

Yes we do need to laugh more often to reduce Wrinkles and regain some of the positive attitude we still have. also note this some people cannot find a joke in some of the articles written, and that does not make them bad people. Laughter attracts joy, releases negativity, and leads to miraculous cures...do not hate comedians - masingita

Hi Hero and Ketso. Lighten up. Lot's of people in our country use humour to handle situations in our country. There is no real other way because fighting it is as good as running into a brick wall. Hero if you can't see through the race barrier like most of us then I feel sorry for you and other people like you. There is no future for people like you in our country. Maybe you should buy yourself a one way ticket to Zim. Your mentality fits in there. If you don't like that option then lighten up. - xWilus

Hi all. None of the nay sayers have said anything yet to defend the government. All they seem to be able to do is tell us humorous folk to get serious, we have a lot of work to do. Matbe what scares them so is that fact that it is all true!! - chillepeppa

I shall vote for you because I can see that you are an honest guy. Your perception of the task at hand is very clear and your challenge will be to ensure that you have enough money in the medium to long term to continue to feed the gravy train. If you fail in this task, you will be suspended and possibly dismissed. Good Luck! - Stormin

True and straight to the point,you don't only speak your mind but I see you know what you are talking about and this country, I was laughing my ass off - me

At least when they beat you up you know they're listening. At the moment they lie, steal and cheat and don't give a damn what anybody says. http://blogspace.mweb.co.za/site/alias__Geoann/58821/default.aspx - George A
