After a recent conversation I've just reminded myself that my city elected Herman Mashaba as mayor.

We did that. The biggest city in South Africa, the economic heart of the nation, we elected fucking Haircare Ayn Rand to be mayor. We looked at Bioshock and thought "yes this sounds like a great idea, we should be like that but not underwater." We put a person into the big chair who believed that Johannesburg should become Galt's Gulch.

The rest of South Africa mocked us for it, as we deserved. But because we're South Africa, nobody outside the country mocked us for it because nobody knew what fools we made of ourselves.
