Politics is usually something I try and avoid at all costs, and I have been a proud and positive South African for a long time. I hate hearing people moan about the state of things, I get downright uncomfortable when people use rude words to discuss the different races in our country, and I tune off when I hear people bang on about how much better everywhere else is. Even the power cuts don’t get to me as much as they do a lot of people.

But… and this is a massive J-Lo sized but… when the government makes a move to try and disband one of the country’s law keeping forces that keep things together, that makes me very, very worried and saddened. I love this country, and I can’t imagine being away from Africa, regardless of how fucked up she is. But if the ANC manage to get the Scorpions out, then we are just that much closer to going to Zimbabwe route.

The good news is that the DA are fighting this move with everything they have, and with enough of an outcry, both locally and internationally, it may not be as easy for them to try and disband the Scorpions. If you are South African, and you give even a bit of a shit about your country, take a minute to sign the petition to Save Our Scorpions.
