South African radio news-presenter sacked for swearing, with fascism, capitalism, and wage-slavery his targets.

23 year old news presenter Mark Esterhuysen gets the sack for an anti-fascist, anti-capitalist rant during news broadcast.

Revol alerted me to this. It speaks for itself.

'Good morning, I'm Mark Esterhuysen.
F*** racism. F*** the pigs who killed Andries Tatane. F*** the AWB. F*** racism. We are all wild animals meant to live free.
'F*** capitalism. F*** fascism. F*** this f***ing wage slavery graveyard shit.
'F*** domestication. F*** Malema. F*** the state. F*** the petrol economic growth on a finite planet.
'This is the only f***ing planet we have.'
"If you don't agree with me please see my blog.
'Peace, love, respect, anarchy.
'Follow me on Twitter. You can see me on Facebook as well.'

I thought for a second, and said: “Is it not obvious why I hate civilisation? Humans are unhappy, animals are unhappy, the environment is unhappy. What the fuck are we doing trying to perpetuate the misery of civilisation?”

Oh dear, I just logged in to

Oh dear, I just logged in to ask Choccy if it was necessary to swear so much in your posts - they are essential reading for me and I often repost to colleagues and people involved in educations struggles but sometimes I just wish there wasn't so much cussing.
Bad timing I guess!!

oh well, at least it only

oh well, at least it only took you 4 days to point it out ;)

Rachel, this is long trodden ground. I won't stop swearing in my blog posts. It's a bit of soap box rant, and I have a foul mouth in real life ;)

The swearing isn't excessive and I'm not one for censoring myself in blog rants. Articles, sure, but I REALLY FUCKING HATE OFSTED.

OK fair enough. You're doing

OK fair enough. You're doing great work, thanks for all the updates. But you should know that your words do get out far and wide.

Probably should have told you

Probably should have told you before - it's nice to be appreciated. As I said I do forward things to edu people who wouldn't be reading libcom on their own (as far as I know anyway). But they can deal.

Thanks for forwarding to

Thanks for forwarding to people, and I do appreciate comments. The tone is honest and emotive and that can entail a bit of swearing, which i won't apologise for in a blog post, though I do understand where you're coming from and I'd choose different language in my written articles. I mean, I didn't swear in the Tower Hamlets one ;)
