Election 2024 – The Full Bouquet

We will have action, humour, drama, horror and regular news updates.The cast will consist of the best of the best.You will see people you've never seen before, new hashtags, sloganeering, a few young people in dreadlocks, nose rings and vuvuzelas in the mix. We will witness self-appointed Robin Hoods attacking and raiding fast-food retailers hoping to be bribed with food packs while calling it activism.You will have to decide for yourself whether it is activism and politics, or pure anarchy. Coming to your screens soon! Please stay tuned!KFC is famous for the chicken dipped in 11 herbs, Namib Mills is famous for the pap, Metro sells the pap, and Cheetah Cement brings you the main staple food.What is the real angle here? Hunger, or revenge for not being able to afford the dunked wings?In one of the shows that launched recently, the one known as Amushelelo kept looking at the menu board at KFC, licking his lips and clapping hands like a child who cannot wait to unwrap a gift.The body language of the young man scared the customers as they tried to figure out if he was doing the shuffle or having a seizure.But at least he had the managers call their bosses, the police and their lawyers.He would swing his slender self in Havaianas in that Man U T-shirt with a ZCC beret sitting firmly on the most active side of his brain.The show promises a visit to other eateries such as Cape Town Fish Market and Stellenbosch restaurant as the rights of the cooks and sushi chefs matter too.The production has certainly improved and now features iPhones and Huaweis on gimbal stabilisers, but it leaves a lot to be desired in audio quality.The production crew has promised to invest in proper audio field microphones, such as the affordable Boya video audio mic, to sit on top of the camera or phone for good sound. They will respect the consumers of their content.It all started with COPPS 94-point-something and now comes Neff-Shelelo on the Beat.The PDM is preparing a crew to follow their Mr Official Vehicle on his cake-tasting crusades and border-crossing escapades.The LPM is renovating some old houses at Aus where they will continue with their weekly live-streamed updates. It is still not clear what else they can talk about apart from the south. I hear Swapo is sticking to forcing the NBC to play all the videos on the liberation struggle non-stop.Well, it's still entertainment, right?Both the grapevine and grape wine are hinting that the IPC has been filming the real Johnny Walker: Etayi to Noordoewer as the man walks past everybody with his hand in the air.The UDF think tank has yet to sit and come up with a strategy for 2024.And the APP has yet to cross the Divundu bridge.Dear readers, all these movements, parties, and proxy-politicking organisations are coming for your votes, and all they have to offer is film.
