In January this year i turned down a post at Transnet in Cpt. The house i was gonna stay in was great,but The backyard was full of sand, Cape Town has no Soil WTF turned down the offer. Every Saturday and Sunday Morning i make sure my Garden game is right sowing my potatoes, pumpkins and maintaining them. Other than that i aint got no beef with the city.
Awww sweet,, green fingers. First time I ever hear anyone give that as a reason not to move somewhere. There is something beautifuly primal about that. My grandfather had orchards, I love things that you can watch grow.
I've only been in Brightonfor 6 months. I came back to CPT on holiday last month to find that 4 friends of mine, all black had moved to Joburg. With others also on the verge of heeding the call or abt to just give up. Who wants to live a life of constant strife?
After l having lived there for 4 years I still consider it home but at this point I'm not sure which city I'm coming back to in September.
Why do we have to fight for money with people who know we are capable and trust us with doing not only our jobs but theirs as well. Run the show kid, you know what you doing, you good at it but you just my BEE front, you ain't getting no paper. To all those stingy, 2 faced, exploiters. f*** YOU.
I had to quit a job I loved to do something I was half hearted about just coz they paid me my worth. That's bullshyt especially when they hired a friend and fellow Jew straight outta college to take my job and paid her more for doing less.
The racism in the workplace is blatant. Know your place, stay in your box, kiss my a**, I promise we'll give you a raise in 6 months. Not surprisingly, I digress...ish is personal.
On the entertainment front I actually noticed that there are more events. DJ Eazy and Azhul have the cla**ics sessions and beat bangaz at Zula and Zula was packed. They had Ill Skillz on the line up, bboys etc and the crowd was loving it, and Kool Out Lounge also seems to be gaining momentum. The events had a mixed crowd and diverse performers so I didn't experience that whole 'black' and 'coloured' hiphop thing that I had before.
Cape Town crowds don't like to pay coz the man ain't paying enough to have dissposable income. Did anyone make it to Slum village or Killah Priest?
But we plough forward. Influential blacks under thirty in CPT? Challenge!
Gaaning aan, don't mind me, sitting up waiting for the English summer...
