And the scum foams wherever you rest your eyes

Last week we had a brief look at the liquidators' self-righteous and exclusive possession of the Edwafin saga. We have to ever so slightly honest about the matter:  the little bit of money that might still have been left in the Edwafin cash-box is being plundered by them, and we are being excluded from the process. What I find most wondrous of this kind of situation is that they proudly announce the appointment of a retired judge, and then equally matter-of-factually announce that the enquiry would be private and secret. Without explanations, rhyme or reason.

But for us, living here in the southern part of the African continent, such unexplained secrecy should come as no surprise. We have become so used to this style of activity when people have thingies in their little cupboard to hide, that we hardly blink twice about it.

Now, you folks should know by now that I have a spirit-filled respect for the human reality, but they don't fill me with awe. So putting a retired judge at the head of an enquiry does not fill me necessarily with confidence. Let us assume that he was born normally - like all of us - and that the ensuing rest of his life was perhaps a model of respectability, honesty and sincerity. The question that now weighs heavily on my youngish soul is "why would such an honourable, retired person be part of such a deplorably secret situation?" I suspect that the folks in charge of things such the consequences of human shortcomings, tend to lose touch with the reality - the victims of the human-on-human abuse. So what do  you do, when you can't handle the reality? - you just leave them out. Of course, in view of the lack imposed information by those entrusted with our affairs, they have no reason to complain when we, the victims, drawing our own conclusions - as they surely, and self-righteously will.

It thus that I received an email from an admirer that brought back memories. Remember those early days, when there still was uncertainty about the liquidation of Edwafin? During those historical days, I had occasion to communicate with the offices of attorney, A Geyser, orf rather with one lady in his office.

Mr Geysers came back to life in the email containing the following link: THE CRIMINAL CONVICTION OF ATTORNEY ANDRIES GEYSER.htm. Go fetch, Sibi, go fetch!

And I keep trying to convince people that the universe is not a clown.
