Forward to Socialism

It is a busy Monday. The Johannesburg Metro Police are protesting over alleged corruption and the lack of disciplinary action taken against senior managers. The protest march is expected to be the first of several this week. One banner read "Forward to Socialism" and some of the marches wore yellow COPE t-shirts. The Congress of the People or COPE for short is the new ANC breakaway party. Their cry is that they will not allow the ruling party (ANC) to destroy South Africa. Back to earth. Every rail commuter’s nightmare becomes a reality when last week a train derailed and today there was two separate train collisions. The first collision was in the morning and the other in the evening. Before you ask no I had nothing to do with it as I work in the ICT department or is that Information and Commutation Technology so therefore "No Comment".

Luckly no one was killed in any of the incidents but over 250 people were injured from both train collisions.
