GODLESS CONSTITUTION | CAPE TOWN

GODLESS CONSTITUTION | CAPE TOWN

South Africa is probably recognised as the country with the most progressive constitution in the world. Sadly I have to confirm this as true. The leader of South Africa's African National Congress, (ANC) Mr Jacob Zuma, has just been officially elected the country's 3rd president by members of parliament since the demise of "apartheid" as we know it.

That's when benches in the parks were reserved for whites (like the benches in front of building on the left, enlargements below) and beaches were reserved for whites and buses where reserved for whites, and pavements were reserved for whites, and higher education was reserved for whites, etc, etc, etc...

Mr Zuma succeeds ex president Thabo Mbeki who succeeded our first president since the demise of apartheid, ex president Nelson Mandela- (Madiba). Our national election look some 72 hours to complete and if this time is compared with the results of the Zimbabwe's elections which took some three months or perhaps longer (I stand under correction) one can see the gusto with which the South Africans proceed. The ANC once again, have another five year stint of power, but not in Cape Town or at least the Western Cape. This just reminds me of the old saying, Power corrupts but Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely.

Many may not agree, but our constitution gives too great a liberty against the moral standards of the Bibles both Old and New, Al-Qur'an and the Bagvad Gita. I supposed against all the moral standards of all religions. The most vile in my opinion is abortion, some people call it a form of contraception, some freedom of choice, some call it down right murder all of which vehemently tugs at the moral fibre of our society.

The state of California in the Americas were the first to legalise gay marriages and S.A. soon followed suite, but California has now rescinded its decision and some 80 000 gays are up in arms about it. I cannot image what would happen here, if the plug was also pulled on gay-rights. Jimmy Swagart once said that "God should judge America for their perversity, because it He does not, He would have to apologise to Sodom and Gomorrah for what He has done to them".

Just a week ago the news papers were filled with issues pertaining to legalising prostitution and the distribution of free ARV's and condoms. Not a week goes by without an incident of teachers and learners committing adultery. Just prior to Christmas the prison system released some 20 000 inmates, only to arrest them all for committing crimes against the populous. Murder seems to be at the top of the list. These are just some of the issues of South Africa. Inherently our progressive Constitution protects the rights of the 'ungodly' at the expense and safety of the 'Godly'.

But hey, Cape Town is different from the rest of Southern Africa. The people are more laid back, they take time out to eat-out. There are restaurants abound, with arts and craft markets teaming with people. Late night shopping and flower sellers vending their wares until late as well. We have the Waterfront and Canal Walk shopping malls, the International Convention Centre, the Royal Cape yacht basin and of course Table Mountain the Eighth wonder of the World, Robben Island and so much, much more!

Welcome to Cape Town, it is the place to be.

THE 8th WONDER OF THE WORLD!

THE 8th WONDER OF THE WORLD!

Cape Town is the southern most city in Africa and quite recently there was a discussion as to whether or not Table Mountain should be added as one of the wonders of the world. Personally, I don't think so, Table Mountain is that great (just joking), but the view from the top of Table Mountain, is really awesome. To describe the view to you, would be quite futile, as it wouldn't do justice to the scenery, but let me wet you appetite before I get to upload the pics. From a height of approx 1080 meters above sea level, looking some distance into the ocean one can see Robben Island, where Madiba (Nelson Mandela) and other ANC members were imprisoned during the apartheid era. To its left, but still on the mainland is Signal Hill, from where the Noon Gun is sounded daily. The the right you see the city bowl and the Waterfront with its recent extension housing an additional 50 stores and its first 6 Star Hotel.


The to the far left you can see the Twelve Apostles, they have absolutely nothing to do with the late Jesus Christ, but are essentially Twelve mountain peaks in close proximity to one another. Between Signal Hill and the Twelve Apostles there are often numerous magnificently colourful hang-gliders hovering over the city bowl and along the Atlantic Sea Board. The main attraction is the Cable Station with its rotating cabins suspended from thick cables which only takes about 5 minutes to travel from street level to the top of the mountain on which there is a relatively nice restaurant and a gift shop.

On some of my walks up the mountain path, specifically Plattekloof Gorge, I have encountered Lizards, Geckos, Spiders, Beetles, Snakes, Tortoises, Rock Rabbits and even young Buck. Should you be relatively fit, a walk along this track would take you a good two hours but it is certainly much more enjoyable and rewarding than a five minute ride with the cable car and a lot less expensive.
