These bullshitting bureaucracies overseas!

These enterprises benefiting multinational monopolies,

in terms of free trade.

Enslaving third world economies:

Let's take a closer look at what's involved in their policies:

Streamlining government budgets, privatisation and sugar-coated politics;

Is it beneficial to the poor when capitalist entities

set the scene?

And we can't even make ends meet.

Demanding higher rates for what should’ve been these,

basic amenities,

necessities!

Provided by the state and not some profit for gain companies.

We feel the effects by being cut off at the knees.

Is mass retrenchment also a part of developing?

The legacy of apartheid's been redefined in a global economy.

Giving out cut-backs to companies…

This situation's hostile

for my fellow residents!

Let's review the evidence,

in rands and cents,

Southern Africans!

It's clearly, merely a fuck-up

from the government!

Now we have to pay dearly for sanitation?

With this new instatement

called privatisation;

a basic need is overcome by inflation.

Leaving many households in the cold.

‘cause if you can't afford to pay the bill,

man, you’re on the road!

And with our current unemployment rate,

you might miss the due date.

Though you can't even put food on ya plate.

Five hundred rand a month, and it was supposed to be free?

I know this, ‘cause my family

was a casualty!

In the rurals my peeps are forced to drink from the riverincreasing

the risk of cholera,

ask the coroner!

About the 260 lives claimed; 150 000 infected, whose to blame?

And I guess most of us are in the dark about the facts.

‘Cause the electricity misery add to the stats!

120 000 homes a month reap the results of non-payment,

yo! we might as well become vagrants!

Is it so hard to believe

we’re still living in the old regime?

Based on the boldest schemes,

eradicating all activists’ dreams

by pacifist means…

maintaining obstacles in sustaining development.

Implementing growth, employment and redistribution strategies.

And programmes GEARed at neo-liberal policies.

And class it seems, is another struggle we’re faced with.

Land smuggled away from us; dispossessed and poor as fuck!
