Hayibo Tears Parklands A New One

25 February 2009 by CapeTownNewsReader

Online satire site Hayibo had this to say about Parklands, our choice for worst suburb in Cape Town:

‘Apocalyptic’ Parklands in Koeberg meltdown scare
Disaster management teams were rushed to Cape Town‘s Koeberg nuclear reactor this morning amid reports that a suburb near the power plant had been devastated by radiation. Rescuers confirmed that they had found a “desolate wasteland populated by dazed zombie-like people” but added that there was no need to panic as this was “an average day in Parklands”.

…

“It strikes your soul. It’s a deep, tearing sadness than human beings can want to live in face-brick McMansions built on shifting beach sand, between a highway splattered with squashed skunks on the one side and an unstable nuclear reactor on the other.”
