It is an absolute disgrace that residents of the City of Cape Town have to shell out because the City dragged its feet in lodging a damages claim for the roof of the Cape Town Stadium.
The City knew about the damage, which came to light during the installation of Cell C equipment, since 18 November 2015 already.
However, the City only sent a damages claim to Cell C on 21 November 2018. By then, the claim had already prescribed and according to a recent High Court ruling, Cape Town has to cover the costs.
According to a Network24 report, Judge Hayley Slingers stated in her ruling that the City brought this on itself as it had the basic facts needed to proceed with the claim on 18 November 2015 already.
The consequence of this gross negligence is that Cape Town’s taxpayers will have to foot the bill of R909 900. The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) finds it unacceptable that the City’s legal team dragged its feet and now taxpayers must pay the price for it.
The matter should be thoroughly investigated and the individuals guilty of dereliction should be held personally liable for the bill.
Taxpayers should not have to shoulder the financial burden of officials’ negligence while they get off scot-free.

Onion King
Van is getting married, but he and his fiancee have never done the deed – in fact he\’s never been with any woman before. He\’s getting more and more nervous as the big day approaches, so he confides in his friend. His friend says \’No worries man. I\’ll come by the honeymoon suite before you guys get there, and I\’ll hide behind the curtain, and I\’ll whisper instructions to you.\’
\’You\’d do that for me?\’
\’Sure thing man!\’
So the wedding day arrives, it was a lovely service (so I was told, I wasn\’t there myself) and Van\’s friend sneaks into the honeymoon suite as promised and hides behind the curtain.
Van and his new wife arrive in the room, get settled on the bed, and things are getting steamy.
But Van is still super nervous and his tummy is bubbling, so he murmers to his wife, \’Listen babe, I\’m just gonna go to the bathroom quick. I think it\’s that wors roll from earlier.\’
\’Sure thing babe.\’
So Van goes into the bathroom, and he\’s taking quite a long time. And his wife is starting to feel the nerves herself. And it\’s getting worse. She can\’t hold it in. But she doesn\’t want to go after he\’s gone and totally ruin the mood. So she looks around and finally finds a shoebox. Quickly, she does her business in the shoebox, and she shoves it under the bed just as Van comes back from the loo.
Van gets back on the bed and they go at it again. But after a minute or so Van smells something not so lekker.
\’What\’s that smell?\’
\’Nothing babe,\’ he wife tries to assure him.
\’No man there\’s definitely something not so lekker in this room!\’VSo Van starts looking around the room, in the corners, in the cupboard, and finally he looks under the bed, and sees the shoebox.
He pull it out, and opens it up, and in horror he shouts \’Sies! Daar\’s kak in hierdie doos!\’
And from behind the curtain his friend yells, \’NEE MAN, DRAAI HAAR OM!\”

So Van is in a bar in London with a Frenchman and an Italian. They are boasting of their sexual prowess.
The Frenchman says \”When I pleasure my mistress, I tickle her nipples with a feather, and she floats an inch above the bed in bliss\”.
The Italian, not to be outdone, says \”When I make love to my girlfriend, I lick amaretto liqueur from her navel. She floats a foot above the bed in delight\”.
Van says \”Ya, well, er… When I screw my wife, I wipe my dick on the curtains afterwards, and let me tell you man, she hits the fuckin\’ roof!\”
