In haar alleen-wêreld
Deurmekaar-wêreld
Emosioneel-versteurd-wêreld
Vervorm “waarheen” en “wat”
Haar uitdrukkinglose gesig

beland ons in ‘n malende kolk
‘n vulkaan van woede ontlont
Borrellend

Word ons eensklaps verswelg
Oorstelp van vreugde

Omring deur:

Knaend hou ons vas
aan die alewige gedagte
Van “nou” en “hier”

Mbeki’s behaviour ’shocking’
12/05/2008 09:30 - (SA)
Dear Editor,

His latest escapades to Zimbabwe to hold hands with Mugabe whilst Mugabe’s henchman terrorise the opposition support
