Sometime ago i posted a blog where i compared Snuki Zikala, the head of News at the SABC ,to Hitler's propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. After that, someone hit me up and told me that there is some manner of law that advices against people comparing other people to nazis. The mainstay of the arguement being 'it robs the valid comparisons of thier impact' (go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law).

As some of you know i'm a trigger happy punk who is not too fond of following the rules.Years ago, i must have been 16 i think, i was drinking illegally somewhere when someone told me that if i thought education was expensive i must try ignorance.

Goebbels is the poster child of people like Zikalala and Jonathan Moyo (the former minister of information in Zimbabwe). The SABC is supposed to be a public broadcaster and if their mandate is not to upset the temperamental Thabo Mbeki, then we've got a problem. If the public broadcaster will sweep elephants under the carpet because it will force people to be a lot more critical of their government we've got a problem. Admittebly not as large as Nazi Germany but one needs to allways remeber that there is nothing more dangerous than an ill informed citizenry. "It you think education is expensive, try ignorance"
