FOR some time now, Yours Truly has been wondering where this broke diamond dealer is hibernating. If you do not know him or never heard about him then you must be a newcomer in our beloved city.
At one point, he was The Man!
Perhaps he had so much money and commanded so much respect that they gave him the street name of a haulage truck.
He made real money during the diamond rush era and bought a total of 22 houses in different suburbs around the city but Yours Truly understands that he no longer has even a single cottage to his name.
As if that is not enough, at the peak of his Benjamin’s lifestyle the guy accrued a fleet of kombis that could be enough to service three high density suburbs. Gentle reader, many will remember him because of his colourful wedding hosted in that other mountainous resort area where a well known hotel closed its doors to the public after the diamond dealer booked everything at the hotel including security guards, grounds men and janitors for three days. Blabber recalls how he used to invite people to his house to count his money after every other lucrative diamond deal.
That he invited people to help him count his money was not an issue but the fact that grown up men were asked to get into their birthday suit and locked in room to count money is something that Blabber found quite disturbing. If you think Blabber is lying just wait patiently for the full list of grown up men who were frequently hired to count his money while naked since he feared they would steal.
Blabber was only hurt to learn how he sold one of his houses that he had given to his mother. Imagine the old lady being told to move out of ‘her’ house after it had been sold.
That really marked the end of an era.
I believe Yours Truly can teach us a lesson or two on the need to save money in times of plenty. We might also learn a few skills on his newly found fish farming business if ever that is what is still keeping him busy currently.
Just in case…
Well, some folks might think Blabber is not aware of the sexual abuse happening in churches and certain business entities around the city, time will soon prove them wrong.
And even those businessmen and men of the cloth doing what is least expected of them must never even at any point think that they will escape the attention of Yours Truly.
Simply because Blabber is motivated by nothing but to preserve the little that remains of our moral fabric, Yours Truly will not regret anything that works for the good of our moral values.
It is only a matter of time, watch my space!
