Koos Kombuis, gifted humorist described
the beginning of decline of the Afrikaner
race in the most amusing terms, to be
completed when the only Afrikaans
soapie ends
A process triggered by the demise of
a photo series called the Knight in
Black, continued by the tragic death
of stripper Glenda Kemp’s boa con-
strictor, symbolising all the above
With the loss of a monument saying
people might accept Springboks losing,
finding final proof for evolution, or the
postponement of the Second Coming,
as long as the soapie continues
Without it, only two people can shield
Afrikaners from the total destruction of
South Africa and the world: Zuma and
Obama; both Africans - Afrikaners no
longer plagued by racist prejudice
They are re-educated by their soon-to-
be-lost soapie; half the cast Africans,
how could our nation survive without
guidance of such an inspired soapie;
a medicinal drug to spice up our lives
Thus remaineth DStv, Facebook, and
Rapport, these three, but SABC, it is
thee that we shall misseth…
