A photograph appeared on the front page of The Times ( 16/3/17) depicting ANC spokesman Zizi Kodwa and Sassa CEO Thokozani Magawaza outside the Constitutional Court shaking hands and laughingly embracing each other. The two were at court for Back Sash's application on payment of social grants by Sassa.
It is hard to imagine a more unbecoming display of jocularity in light of Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng's tongue lashing into Sassa, Minister Dlamini and her department. It leads to one immutable conclusion: a complete lack of concern about what is happening around them. In other words, blind to the catastrophic consequences that will follow if grants are not timely paid to the poor.
Kodwa and Magawaza's display, although disgustingly offensive was not surprising, as it is symptomatic of a callous government they represent. Should one then, to quote Luke 23:34 "Forgive them for they know not what they do?" No, because they know what they do.
