The news was dominated this week by two infamous slaps- Wonderfully reserved and well behaved Rainbow Nation you created, hey misters De Klerk and Mandela. We just go slapping our way through the week

First, – a teacher at Sans Souci Girls High School in Cape Town was suspended for slapping a very ill behaved and utterly disrespectful little “madam” through the face. If course the potential to turn it into a racist incident was too big to ignore!

And then w/o Johan Carstens was slapped outside Parliament by an EFF MP because he allegedly thought Carstens was a right-wing assassin trying to kill the poison-tongued little Red Dwarf.

Wonderfully reserved and well behaved Rainbow Nation you created, hey misters De Klerk and Mandela. We just go bitch-slapping our way through the week!
