Today is Freedom Day in S.A. This delightful day off work is to celebrate the fact that we’ve all been able to vote in a democracy for the past 15 years. Well, apart from me – 2 years on, my citizenship application is still “pending” with Home Affairs. But, you know, everyone else.
Even though I haven’t got the cool kids’ purple stripe on my thumb from last week’s elections, I’m celebrating my freedom in a different way: today I drafted my resignation letter. In the immortal words of George Michael, “When I knew which side my bread was buttered/I took the knife as well.”
It’s a goodie, folks.
