As viewers switch from 'The SARFU Show'
[permalink]

I'm about as close to being poitical thinker as I am being a grain fed chicken, but I can say this: When the government and business pull out all the stops like they have over the last few weeks, they're giving SARFU (let alone The Bold and the Beautiful) a serious run for their money in terms of the South African people's choice of soap opera entertainment time! I mean, we are truly blessed! 'Spoilt for choice' is an understatement!

Our two highest viewed local soaps are 'The Government' and 'The SARFU Show'. The longest running local TV soap opera, Egoli, is a close third (in terms of interest and viewership levels).

Zuma, possible lead role
in local drama, 'The Government' ?

The entertainment factor of watching Zuma gasping for breath as he drowns in 12 foot waves in the middle of the ocean with nothing to hold onto but his fantasies, is of biblical proportions. We should surely be paying money for this kind of a show! What a beautiful plot! Zuma is a ball hair away from landing the job of a lifetime. The highest office in the land. Right there. God, it's close! And then, out of nowhere, his worst fears become true.

Shaik turned very swiftly to The Lord on his final days in court. It seems they wait until the very last second and only then are they are able to welcome the obvious into their little heads. The cornea burning white hot blinding light of hindsight. What a beautiful thing! But up until then they will very happily challenge ANYONE to investigate them. They'll even be cocky about it. They'll even wear sunglasses and smoke a cigar on live TV, defiant, in some sort of 'The Godfather' role playing scene in their heads. Reporters seeking interviews with Zuma are currently being threatened with arrest [article here IOL]. Careful, Zuma, that's what Mugabe does. Or are you trying to get the ratings through the roof? And enjoy this, HE'S JUST BEEN SWORN IN AS SOUTH AFRICA'S ACTING PRESIDENT!

Let us watch now as they REPEAT the same show for us, just with Zuma as the main character instead of Shaik. We're not even bored of the repeated plot. We're fine with it! The more repetitive it gets, the funnier it is. You see, it's not a drama soapie, like The Bold and the Beautiful, it's a comedy soap. Much like the other show you've been watching,The SARFU show. I'm glad SARFU ended their latest series with the cliffhanger - "How long can the two racists, Markgraaff and van Rooyen, pretend that everything is fine?".

'The SARFU Show'.
Working hand-in-hand with 'The Government'?

They're definately working together (The writers of 'The SARFU Show' and 'The Government') because how else can you so perfectly time the ending of The SARFU Show's last season at the start of a major twist in The Government? And now they REPEAT the same plot again, allowing The SARFU Show time to work on it's next twist! They've obviously got something hilarious they're planning on. Maybe Joel Stransky is, in fact, Jake White and van Rooyen's love child? Or maybe Springbok player Lawrence Sephaka is ACTUALLY WHITE but they wanted to fulfil quota figures, and fed 'pigment changing pills' to a farm boy from the Karoo. You'll be surprised what our young farm boys will do for a Springbok cap.

So keep watching, folks! I reckon The Government will have a sitting with Madiba and pay him R10 million to release a statement which reminds The World not to forget that he is still alive and everything will be ok. The price tag of statements like these is always high as they are able to brainwash the human race into forgetting everything that just happened. No one will remember ANYTHING about Zuma! Apparently the creators of the movie 'Men in Black' took Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones to Mandela for training on how to use the pen in the movie to erase people's memories.

They should turn Supersport Rugby into a 1995 World Cup Winners live wank-a-thon.
