By Faith ka-Manzi (16 June 2010 - read at anti-FIFA protest) The hijacking of our cities by FEEFA THIEVES who impose cruel bylaws on the poors, depriving them of their daily living while the VOETSEPP BLATTER and his cronies fatten their pockets. FEEL IT, IT’S HERE The breaking in, stealing and looting of the state coffers by the elitists, monies meant for the development of the poors but used to suit the demands of the FEEFA GANGSTERS. FEEL IT, IT’S HERE That even though factories lie idle and no sound of machines are heard producing becaz only China should benefit in making Tshirts to be worn faraway in Africa. FEEL IT, IT’S HERE That propaganda by these thieves and liars have been unearthed who have said “We have everything ready for 2010”. Meanwhile they are emptying our hospital of the sick denying them much needed care for Fifa visitors. FEEL IT, IT’S HERE That much needed ambulances as South Africa has a right rate of violent crimes – are stalling in cities hosting FEEFA and not serving the interests of the taxpayers. FEEL IT. IT’S HERE The forced removals of streetkids, the homeless from the city into transit camps becaz such dirt & grime of the hosting cities would reveal how real is the poverty of South Africans to the world. FEEL IT, IT’S HERE That the Durban Metro continues to harass, arrest and steal goods from street traders who are not brabded with the FEEFA BEAST’S mark. FEEL IT, IT’S HERE That the initial R1.8 billion budgeted for Moses Mabhida rose up to R3.1 billion sinking the city further into debt. FEEL IT, IT’S HERE That schools which were destroyed to make way for Bombela stadium in Mpumalanga have not been built, plunging our country into more illiteracy. FEEL IT, IT’S HERE That the Gautrain which costs us R25 billion is only for the rich as the 15 minutes blast from OR Tambo to Sandton costs R100. FEEL IT, IT’S HERE Amasela engcebo yaseMzansi Ingcebo ebekelwe ukuthuthukisa abanhlwempu Behlangene nongxiwankulu bamankengane asemazweni aseNyakatho FEEL IT, IT’S HERE Namanje sisacoloniswa Ngemvume yababusi abangamambuka Abayishaya phansi Bayishaye phezulu YEAH You can say it again Feel it, it’s here To your own detriment Because you and your descendants Will be indebted by the profits made by FEEFA Time immemorial YEAH IT’S HERE FEEL IT!
