Re: MAUSICA WEEKLY EMAILS

Hello Errol:

Sometimes we have to look out for the children of Mausica, many of whom have the same spirit, mango not falling far from tree. Yesterday the Express published my letter which was a plea for leniency for Machel Montano, who got into a little altercation some time back. Machel is the son of Liz and Monty, who were in the 68-70 group. The reaction on the Express (31 comments and counting) have been somewhat negative. That tells me that the plea was well founded. There are people who have opposite sentiment to leniency.

Machel is one of ours. A son of Mausica passion. He and his Mausica parents have been able to fashion a business based on his creative talent, and on their entrepreneurial skill. The family has creative control over his exploits. I don't condone violence, but people in his high profile position are targets, hence the reason why they need bodyguards etc.

At Mausica men did not just sit back and take stuff. And the Mausica child cannot be expected to have sand kicked in his face.

We have to hope that the magistrate will see that a first offender who engages in fisticuffs deserves a chance.

This is the sort of thing that Fitzy would have sorted out in his heyday.

(Some of you reading this might have been in the group of Mausicans who were arrested for liming on Frederick street early in the 67-69 tenure--Banlon shoppers--and who probably are still wondering who was the man who came into the court on the day of the case and caused the MAGISTRATE to stand when he walked in, and to dismiss the whole thing just like that).

The bald head man in the wings with the half smile had something to do with that.

There are Mausicans in the cabinet now, including one who was the Minister of Entertaiment (63-65), and now Minister of National Security.

All of us Mausicans should keep positive thoughts about Machel Montano, a second generation Mausican. Those who are inclined please write a letter to the newspapers, asking for leniency.

Somebody could probably write such a letter to the Minister of National security. In my letter to the Express I suggested that he could do some community service by creating an anti-crime video.

Machel is a good Mausica child, with Mausica talent, who should in no way be sent to prison.
