when the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the Land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible - Jomo Kenyatta

Volgens hierdie webbladsy is Kenyatta nie die oorsprong van hierdie grappie nie.



Dis een van daai soort grappies wat jou laat glimlag én terselfdertyd laat nadink (of wel, Desmond Tutu se biograaf meen dat hy dit as 'n grappie bedoel het toe hy dit tydens 'n toespraak gebruik het).

Ja, dis stilisties so mooi aanmekaargesit. Laat mens ook dink aan Alexander Pope se styl:

“True wit is beauty to advantage dressed

What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed.”

?

Maar om by die politiek terug te kom:

?rens het ek ’n gesegde van ’n staatsman raakgeloop, wat ek onthou as

“I very much fear that the oppressed of today will be the oppressors of tomorrow”.

?

Ek kry dit nie in daardie vorm nie, maar wel as iets van Paulo Freire:

“The oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors.”

?

Wie dit by wie geleen? het, weet ek nie. Maar die eerste formulering staan my meer aan.

?

Ek weet nie of Kenyatta of Tutu die sendelinge so bygekom het nie.

?

Dalk is dit ’n Oscar Wilde-situasie.

?

Oscar het by ’n dinee gehoor hoe sy tafelbroer links iets baie pittigs sê, en hy fluister vir sy tafelbroer regs:

“Gosh, I wish I’d said that” – waarop pront die antwoord kom; “You will, Oscar, you will!”

Daar is webwerwe wat dien as Snopes'e van aanhalings. Ek het vanoggend weer 'n Mark Twain-aanhaling op TikTok te?gekom en kyk... dit was dalk eintlik Thomas Jefferson.

"If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed."



Maar soms wonder ek of die gretigheid om uit te vind wie iets nou werklik gesê het, nie eintlik heeltemal onnodig is nie. Wat saak maak is dat die aanhaling mooi klink. Dan maar "Iemand het eenkeer gesê" en dan die aanhaling.

Mark Twain het ook so ’n gawe gehad om gedagtes raak te formuleer.
Sy Puddinhead Wilson het by elke hoofstuk so ’n pittige inleiding gehad wat alreeds die boek die moete werd maak.
