Bungling Johannesburg officials in South Africa have (mistakenly) threatened to cut off the electricity and water supply of sick former president Nelson Mandela's home for unpaid bills. The conscience of Africa fondly known by South Africans by his clan name Madiba has been in hospital for the past couple of months battling breathing problems as a result of tuberculosis he contracted when he was a prisoner in Robben Island where he was incarcerated for 27 years.
Although city officials have apologised for the mistake that should never had happened, it shows to an extent how these bungling official cause untold misery to the inhabitants of Johannesburg by issuing incorrect and/or extortionate bills.
The name Mandela alone should strike fear into any body's heart least of all when the first name is Nelson. But more so, if you happen to be South African and live in South Africa. The fact that someone would pick up the letter, seal it and post it to a man on a sick bed, is enough to show how disconnected to reality this individual is.
Johannesburg officials listen, there are over a billion of us both in Africa and the world over who will happily pay the bill for Madiba for you guys to leave him alone to recover.
Point 1.
Is this a glimpse into how much ordinary South African folks may potentially be suffering at the hands of Johannesburg official?
Point 2.
Would it be appropriate if i call on the Johannesburg officials to sack whosoever is responsible for this silly mistake?
Panelist, please tell us what you think
