Hahahah Charles this is one of the funniest things I have ever read. I also have a steaming post to write about the Brits but I am saving it until the end of tourist season. Well done Sir!

Bob Elder,

Really? “Needs Viagra”? That is the tamest, most overused insult ever.

Surely you can do better than that?

Sipho, the satire did not get lost on anyone. It just isn’t there. Your profile says you are still young – hopefully young enough to read and learn from Levin, Waugh, Coren et al. And if you want to sink to making fun(?) of names, what is the translation of Shlong Wane – “Needs Viagra”?

When the goose had been eaten by the family, father started to look outside in order to collect some more golden eggs. As he found none he called his wife: have you seen the goose? You have just eaten it answered mother, oh my gosh! was that the one which gave us those beautiful eggs? You stupid woman, father said (a la René, the inkeeper from Allo’Allo) could you not see that without the golden eggs we will soon be broke?

So yes keep on murdering tourists and assorted Saffrans and keep on making fun out of it. We close a whole coastline for one shark murdering one tourist (and that, the pundits say is really a random killing) but the (ANC) governement seems unable to grapple with the many sharks regularly killing many people all over the country. Or unwilling. @Siobhan is right: without tourism we have bugger all to recommend ourselves to the world. We dont even manage to sell soccer tickets properly. The rainbow is fading…..

The satire seems to have been completely lost on you, Grant.

Oh Dear…so many South Africans having a sense of humour failure!

Always think its really funny how Saffas think they are sooo tough just because we live with crime every day and are too useless to sort it out. We forget that the truly tough people are the ones from the most militarised nations that rule the planet. Thats right you mighty tough Africans…it is the Americans, the Chinese and the Brits. So just before you start shooting for a trophy to mount on your stoep, remember who has the bigger guns and the meaner attitude and the empires and the cozy holiday homes at Guantanamo that make Robbin Island look like Ibiza in the summer…and your clue here is that it aint us.

And I dare you to take a pop at an Israeli or a Russian.

I could not see the humour. But then maybe the recollection of wrestling some kid four years ago trying to press a 9mm against my forehead which was soon thereafter discharged in my direction while I was frantically locking my kitchen door to keep them from getting into my house is still a bit too fresh. Crime is no joke, it destroys lives.

Write this article again after somebody has been killed in your family for wealth distribution, God forbid.
