Noted: This post is influenced by the passioned posts by Cdes Edgar Curtis Legoale Mncedisi Thuso Bokwa and Kamohelo Mafa Mazibuko, in particular.
The culture of reporting (ho tlaleha) is massive in our lovely province. There are those who thrive on reporting comrades to lidashipu, with the hope that the latter will deal with the former, and the former will emerge in politics or the state.
Given my opinionated nature, I have been, and continue to be, a victim of this, not that I am bothered.
Since 2015, when I rejoined the Provincial government after a six year stay in the local government fraternity, I have been reported to lidashipu an umpteen times. Some have even screenshot my posts on ANC WhatsApp groups to gain useless relevance with lidashipu.
These are some of our lidashipu who thrive on not only listening to such gossip, but acting upon it, and that is viral in the Free State.
One day, I realised that a particular comrade was not responding to my text messages, though reading such. He would not even respond to my calls. I later learnt that he was told I have changed my loyalty against him, which was trash.
Rather than call me and find out he decided to act like a prostitute. I care less.
Even as I am writing now, I know many eagles are waiting to report me. My message to them is one; I shall not refrain from writing and saying what I like. Nkeke Ka diya molala. Ha kena Ntate kapa Mme dipolotiking. I respect all, but have my views. Nobody owns the ANC, or has a monopoly on ideas.
