Occupy Pretoria

PRETORIA, Limpopo Province - Acting City Clerk Mezu was on the phone to the Public Protector's office Friday when he got the wor😛 No statements to the Press.

He swung in his chair and grabbed his Google Tab.

"You can't have that!" he shouted, clearing the screen of the Tab, as he held it away from the chief investigator, PSU's Rico Suave.

"We're getting out of here," he said, and burst out of the eSAHC Center, the building taken over the night before by about six hundred eSA citizens angry over the abuse of Chubzilla, and the inaction from the Mayor's Office to enforce justice.

Hundreds of eSA citizens have gathered near the Union Buildings in Pretoria, in what they call Occupy Pretoria. As Mezu tried to run, he was yelled at. "We're sick of this. Sheep do not take us seriously!" cried a protester.

A Ministry of Security official tried to calm Mezu down. Mezu finally handed over his Tab and notes to the security agent, who returned them - with apologies - to Rico Suave.

Like the city, Mezu was caught in the middle of a swirling hateful conflict, a confrontation between sheep, local government, and regular eSA citizens, who seemed to hold each other in mutual fear.

"I don't want to become an eStatistic," Mezu said, reflecting the fear and tension present here since eSA citizens swooped into the eSAHC head office to protest the official handling of Chubzilla's abuse.

There were rumours. "The citizens are armed," said some sheep. "The sheep have guns," some citizens exclaimed in return.

"It's just a mess," said Mezu.

At the First National Bank, two blocks away, bank employees Prelen and Gary de Lange discussed the conflict sparked by the rape of Chubzilla, two and a half eYears old, of US Airborn.

Chubzilla's abused and huddled form was discovered in a panel van several days after he allegedly was forced to strip and dance at a Sheep Shagging club. eSA citizens claim that he was tortured and mutilated as well.

Public spokes-sheep for the illicit Bleedin' Shears club, Ma-a-ary Lamb, declined to comment.

Thus far, three sheep have been charged with grievous bodily harm, and two with false imprisonment. However, these developments have done little to placate the Occupy Pretoria movement.
