Now this is an ANC mayor, thats head and shoulders above he's fellow party men

I remember the idiot from potch (and here it was the mayor), also once told aardklop to become a "representative festival", ergo your afrikaans festival is racist, or run the risk of loosing funding from the municipality. So they kindly reminded him, uhm he can stuff he's R60000 a year he gives them (they mostly reside on university property), and they will fund themselves out of the millions they make, and not give a cent, so he quickly realised how diverse the festival really is

Yip, its amazing how diverse we suddenly become when the gravy train derails, but lets not take anything away from this mayor, so both thumbs up to him
