Leon Schuster betoog voor Eskom-hoofkantoor
Die gewilde grapmaker Leon Schuster het gisteroggend die draak met Eskom gesteek toe hy voor hul hoofkantore in Johannesburg “betoog” het as deel van ’n weddenskap tussen hom en die radiostasie Jakaranda 94.2.
Schuster, bekend as Suid-Afrika se koning van komedie, het omstreeks 07:00 in ’n ligblou oopknoophemp en blou jeans by die verkeerslig reg voor dié energieverskaffer se hoofingang in Maxwellweg kamp opgeslaan. Omstanders het nuuskierig saamgedrom terwyl sy liedjie, “Gee my krag”, op maksimum volume uit luidsprekers geblêr het.
Dié liedjie is op sy CD, “Op dun Eish!”, wat hy onlangs opnuut bekend gestel het, juis weens die kragkrisis wat Suid-Afrikaners nou in die gesig staar, het hy gister vertel. Volgens hom is sy liedjie “Gee my krag”, wat oor die Eskom-kragkrisis handel, veral nou van toepassing. “Ek het dit twee jaar gelede al geskryf, toe ek verwag het hier kom groot bollie in die land. Noudat die vreeslike geweld van load shedding ons getref het, het dit éérs impak.”
Schuster en Darren Scott, aanbieder van Jakaranda 94.2 se ontbytprogram, Just Plain Breakfast, het die afgelope twee weke ’n weddenskap met luisteraars gehad waar hulle kon inbel en stem wie se “kragkrisis”-liedjie die beste is. Dít kom ná Scott ’n parodie oor die kragkrisis vir dié radiostasie geskryf het, het me. Michelle van Os, woordvoerder van Jakaranda, gesê. “Die weddenskap was dat die wenner sy liedjie voor Eskom se hoofkantoor moet sing. Schuster het loshande gewen.”
Schuster het gister ook op-en-af in die straat gehardloop en kapsie gemaak. “Kan die Bokke wen sonder krag? Nee, want hulle het Jake White se vlam geblus! Kan Bafana Bafana in die donker wen? Nee, want hulle kan nie eens in die blêrrie lig wen nie!” het hy gister geskreeu.

Love him or hate him, Leon Schuster is very very good at making people laugh at South Africa, and on this album, as always, he’s found a way to access everyone’s laugh trigger. Leon Schuster’s latest offering is once again a political and local current affairs satire of songs mostly in Afrikaans. It contains everything that one would expect from South Africa’s foremost entertainer. It is comedy as it’s very best in Leon’s unique style which is satirical and very, very funny.

bokke… I don’t think that’s a dignified response to a foolish statement. Learn some tact and quit giving south africans a racist reputation.

Comedians are often misunderstood. Sign of maturity in a nation is that criticism can be tolerated even encouraged via humour. After my mother died I left South Africa. As I was a child I am now finding out about South African comedy. Those who are the butt often blame the comedian, but they are just commenting on what they see. At least he is making people think. And I find watching Leon and his ilk great for improving my Afrikaans. Keep it coming.
