A good kill to you as well!
30/06/2008 11:39
Marvellous story! Don't forget that when the "powers that be" spit out a statement that gets people hot and bothered (the wrong way I might add), the traditional way out of it is either 1. I was misquoted or 2. It was taken out of context. Hooray for tradition, it seems to work for this current regime of ineptitude. - Metallica Man |

Good read made me laugh,and the subject got all the sarcasm it deserved.These clowns from ANCYL are just that and whoever takes them seriously is as big an idiot as those running the freak show. Poor SA, the average citizen has got such heart and motivation to make this country work and these idiots do what ever they can to discredit our work. SHAME ON THEM - Gary Clark |

Not tradition...
30/06/2008 11:47
The statements uttered by the president of the ANCYL and comrade Zwelinzima Vavi were taken out of context. and never did any of the two cite tradition nor did the quoted killing statements as part of the tradition of any movement, the statements meant that JZ was voted in by the delegates gathered in polokwane, and therefore he should be constitutional voted in as the president of S.A?then the two comrades are willing to lay down their lives in protection of JZ?s rights and aspirations to lead this country. - Kolobe |

I know a couple of people (and you might be one of them) that have got out of a night in the chookie because of a couple of bucks exchanging hands.
Nice to kill you. - King of France |

I have such an abhoration for bullfighting, there are no words to describe the horror I feel, and hatred for the bullfighters and the mad, screaming people on the stands. I wish that one day the tables could be turned a the same be measured out to some or other bullfighter. It was with much laughter and enjoyment that I watched the Metro Cops jumping up and down making utter fools of themselves and their responsibilities.Have to say this..the ones on TV were all fat and black.If the shoe fits.. - Alicia |

"I'm inclined to say something along the lines of "the fish rotting from the top" but I suppose that would illicit some ferocious tirade from the perennially pedantic - so I won't go there."
Saying something by saying that you are not saying it remindes of a number of current goverment officials manner of saying and then dening the same thing. I suspect that you are a politician. Why do I still feel inclined to vote for you? Looking forward to your next statement

They always say the empty barrel rattles the most. So many on here hide behind the cloak of anonymity, and make bold statements. At least you put your name (and face) out there and shoot from the hip. I enjoy your pieces, keep at it. - TruthBeTold |

Kolobe...my friend,
30/06/2008 12:29
I did not suggest that the ANCYL used "tradition" as an excuse in this instance. I was referring to the bullfight (directly) and to other past local issues (indirectly).
Carry on umfundisi. - Brandon |

Context..
30/06/2008 12:49
It's amazing how every totally STUPID and IRRESPONSIBLE statement made by our so-called leaders are proclaimed to be "taken out of context" when the poo hits the fan. Perhaps then they should learn to make statements that are clear and unambiguous so that the vast majority of us "plebs" do not misunderstand the "context" of these statements. - KimPossible |

Whilst you suggest that Brandon not give up his dame time job, i'd like to suggest that you do and return to school where they teach you how to READ and write. For the record Brandon Fraser is not a columnist on this site, we do however have a really good one called Brandon Faber. Zzzzzzzz! - John Camp |

Politicians say stupid, unintelligent things most of the time because they are unintelligent, this is not limited to SA politicians, just look at George W Bush! Nowadays I just have a good laugh when I hear politicians spew rubbish out of their mouths. - tiddlywinks |

Disrespect
30/06/2008 13:04
As always, the problem with tradition bashers is that they never ever bother to learn about other people's beliefs & cultures. Seemingly and very arrogantly I may add, only theirs are the only acceptable, humane & "civilised" practises that I suppose we are all supposed to emulate. In my langauge, this is called disrespect. It is of course not surprising that this typical moaner is of the white variety in SA. - Ngwato |

Very true - be quiet Kolobe

bullfighting
30/06/2008 13:19
Seeing you mention it with such vehemence I must comment on your bullfighting remarks. Think of it, that bull spent years growing to magnificent maturity free as a bird in the fields, then at the height of its prime it fights to the death as many of our own wild antelopes do. It even has a chance of goring its tormentor. Compare that to your ox fattened for slaughter, pumped full of hormones and whatnots, ultimately to face bloody death in an abattoir. What's the diff? - taurus |

btw, that's "EMPHATIC utterances"... not just "utterances" oh and PS: this is sarcasm :) i think that ancyl prez should rather be laying down his life for general principles, like freedom and so forth... and not specific individuals. - js |

Well not what I give your article, it actually reached a 10/10. What I am refering to is that 9 times out of 10 a black reader will defend their "Leaders" dumbness and just not get it! Why can't you be sensible and for one day not be blindfolded Kolobe? - JB |

Brandon is slamming the bullfighting tradition, not because it's tradition but because it's cruel to animals. Now according to Ngwato, Brandon only hates bullfights because he's white. Sometimes I dont know... - Liz |

@Ngwato
30/06/2008 13:38
The author gave a very specific example of a tradition he finds to be unforgivable. I suspect that you'll find many that agree. Nad his point that not all tradition is acceptable is entirely true. Personally, I find the "tradition" of selling ones daughter into subjugation unacceptable. That and many other "traditions". - mallencolly |

Well said :) (and some thoughts to Taurus, Kolobe and Ngwato)
30/06/2008 13:57
Most amusing article, Brandon. Refusing to take the flak for saying irresponsible things is fast becoming a tradition amongst our leaders. Taurus, you are terribly deluded about what the lives of animals in industry are like. How about not killing said magnificent animal? Kolobe, one would think that the leader of the ANCYL may be willing to lay down his life for freedom, but for a "leader" under investigation for fraud? Eish. Ngwato, whiteys also have traditions. And some of those are crap too - EvylShnukums |

With the advancement of culture, morals and humanity many of our so-called "traditions" have fallen away over time. If we weren't prepared to forego many of these traditions we would all still be seen as barbarians. Every culture has had to make sacrifices as far as traditions are concerned but there are still many traditions that are still respected. I think our problem in South Africa, and elsewhere, is that there are very few honourable men left. People have and always will suffer from man?s inhumanity to man. Only when we can respect each other and each other?s property will we ever be able to live in harmony. All the racist talk on this forum only fuels the fire of intolerance. - Colleen |
