Cape Town...ag no no my mistake its Pretoria (The smaller version of Cape Town)
Ok, K....I waited until I was not angry any more before I could write this article. Guys, guys , guys kanti Cape Town and Pretoria do these towns have a problem ye racism or what?? I lived in Cape Town for a couple of years but the racism was just too much maan i couldn't handle it, now am in PTA thought Ok i have moved away from people who don't understand that this is a new South African so we are all equal as "lilizwe lethu sonke" Some guys who are more or less pink really need counselling you know. I thought by now every one understands that we are in a new South Africa.
Believe me there are people who cannot accept change or who cannot handle change very well. C'mmon guys its almost 15yrs now after 1994. How long should we be understanding or accomodating to these people..how many more years? should we understand forever or what? somwbody tell me please because I am really struggling to make sense of some things that happen.
Now my story, what really happened this Saturday? I might be reading this wrongly please guys be honest with me and tell me No Thandi, You are seeing things....u a too obsessed with racism, u see it even when its not there....
Ok, to the story now, we were going to the airport with a friend of mine and her BF (I shall call them Sarah and John). John was driving neh, Don't know street names guys so please forgive me about that too. So we turned in one of the streets to go towards JHB, and after turning we realised that we had made a wrong turn, it was going to take too long to the airport so we decided we want to turn back neh....so it was one of these one ways to JHB grass in between then another one way from JHB to PTA on the other side of the grass. So there John goes he applies brakes and we went out of the road, now were were on the grass trying to get to the other side of the road, so we drove slowly towards the other side so we could join the cars coming from JHB, then we waited for the right time, then indeed we joined the traffic from JHB, the road was clear , there was only one big 4 by4 car which was travelling on the fast lane and thina we were joining the slow lane....indeed we joined. OK this white guy in a big white 4 by 4 hooted and we all thought Ok, he is telling us that we have done something wrong which is fine, that is how people on the road maybe talk to each other as drivers.
The next thing i saw this big car leaving its lane cooming to our lane with the intention of pushing us out of the road, so i thought now what's happening here....road rage...aha...started sweating......John tried to avoid the car but it kept on pushing us outside the road, then John decided to indicate to the other lane so we can be behind this car indeed that happened. Worse happened when i thought we have managed to avoid him, the car,....this big car stopped infront of us when trying to go to the right it also did the same, when we try left it does the same, Ok, we stopped cause we couldn't move now...and other cars wanted to pass mind you because this was in the middle of a road....tried to swerve to the far left then we managed to run atleats away from being hit by the big car, so we came at the robbots.................................!!!
U don't wanna know what happened at the robbots............we all stopped at the robbots and he stepped out of his car and came straight to our car to the driver's door....I havw got no idea what his intentions were, when he came out of his car....but he was very angry already we locked our doors, then he went for John's door and when it couldn't open he smashed the car windscreen with no luck and he tried again with the mirror and the mirror was broken so the robbots opened and we left.
So what is still in my mind is what was that guy going to do to John if the doors were not locked? if he feels we were so wrong why didn't he take our number plate and report us to authorities? why did he make it his business?
I salute John for being so calm during this whole act on Saturday cause i think if it was somebody else they would have lost the cool...finish and klaar.
