Having read in a news bulletin that more than 300 municipal councillors in Natal cannot read or write, I thought it could be interesting to see how people describe some government authorities.

The Dunning-Kruger effect could be fitting to some.

The Dunning-Kruger effect occurs when people fail to adequately assess their level of competence or incompetence at a task and thus consider themselves much more competent than everyone else.

This lack of awareness is attributed to their lower level of competence robbing them of the ability to critically analyse their performance, leading to a significant overestimate of themselves.

They’re too stupid to know how stupid they are.

Two interesting words which come to mind are “plutocracy” ( A political system governed by the wealthy people ) and “kakistocracy” ( Government under the control of a nation's worst or least-qualified citizens ).

How would you describe some government authorities?

A camel is a horse designed by a commite. Know what to expect with all the commities appointed by government.

Then on a lighter note.

How does a government official wink?

He opens one eye slowly

?Ek lewer eerder nie kommenraar op die regering nie. Alles wat gesê kan word is deur die jare al gesê.

Net oor die Dunning-Kruger verskynsel: in Afrikaans beteken dit kortliks, hoe minder n persoon van iets af weet, hoe sekerder is hy oor sy standpunt daaroor. En hoe meer hy daarvan weet, hoe meer twyfel hy oor sy standpunt daaroor. En dink maar daaraan, dis maar hoe ons almal werk- ek inkluis. Dis nie n geval van dom en slim nie. En as iemand dink dis twak, hy/sy is 100% seker van n saak, dink maar aan die DK verskynsel?.

Ek moet darem EFF provinsie hier in Modimolle krediet gee as dit by munisipale sake kom, is hulle redelik hulpvaardig,

BV: ABSA wou nie my ID boek aanvaar met FICCA nie en aangedring op ? ID Kaart.

Voertuie met karavaan vir: Verandering van adres, geen probleme en sommer dag 1 my voertuie verander vanaf GP na LP.

Gelukkig hier in LP kan jy Engels, Afrikaans of Zoeloe praat, hulle verstaan as jy praat asook die hele gemeenskap ongeag Ras, almal respekteer jou.

In GP dink hulle dat hulle een of ander Graad het, seker Graad: 00.
