Such sweet voyeurism

What really inspires the random visits to the destitute and hungry if nothing is done to alleviate the situation?

First it was Human Settlements minister Tokyo Sexwale in his famous “sleep-over” in a shack in Diepsloot and a promise that something would be done.

It turned out to be just another political ploy to curry favour with the people.

Now we see our president spinning another sob story in front of cameras at the informal settlement of Sweetwater.

Don’t miss the catch phrase:

“I thought I should come to look…”

Sexwale was also looking.

When will the voyeurism end and the action begin?
