Eish serias! People trying to "defeat imperialism" can't even organise an event

The first day of the communist youth festival was marred by delays, with thousands of delegates milling around outside. Halls allocated for workshops stood empty, while a huge concert was taking place outside. Delegates were refused food because they did not have food vouchers. Others were lying on their backs on the grass or playing football or other sports to keep themselves occupied.

A 21-year-old delegate from Germany, Sandra Leonhardt, said she and her friends had not attended any of the sessions and that they did not even know where to go.
"De organising is a bit difficult... in fact it is a joke jawohl!. Dis people would not even know how to organise a piss up in a brewery. I am not the only one who is not happy," she said while puffing a cloud of smoke from her cigarette.

Meanwhile, caps were selling like hotcakes for R50 at a nearby stand, red SACP T-shirts which were also on sale for the rip-off price of R100. ANC t-shirts went for R150. The t-shirts had all been bought from China for R5 each.

The formal programme was scheduled to start at 14:00. More than two hours later, nothing had happened. ANC veteran Winnie Madikizela-Mandela who was been dropped by President Mandela like a hot potato after he realised what an idiot she was, Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula, Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale and Defence Minister Lindiwe Sisulu were due to address thousands of young people from over 100 countries.

However none of the speakers had confirmed their attendance and were not present. They would not be seen dead at such a disorganised event which was primarily aimed at making the incompentent organisers stinking rich.

Artists performed, the military paraded and President Jacob Zuma delivered the opening address. ANCYL leader Tsotsi Malema made an appearance, to the delight of the delegates who were paid large sums of money to attend.

The festival, held under the theme "Let's Defeat Imperialism" i.e "lets not only kill the Boers - let's also drive all Whites out of South Africa", was being hosted by the NYDA in partnership with the World Federation of Democratic Youth.

A total of R69m had been budgeted for the event. R68 million of this would go towards Tsotsi Malema and the organisers. Of this amount R40m had come from the National Lotteries Board.
