The government making a big fuss of Africa Day.  With friends like King Zwelithini, maybe Zuma should just shut his big mouth for a change.

loyalty and royalty

 I wonder how many right thinking South Africans have faith in our delectable Communications minister.  Not satisfied with having a public broadcaster that lionizes the ruling party and refuses to broadcast opposition activities, now she's mooting a black, state-owned media house that will only place govt. advertising with 'connected' media.  Hello Zimbabwe.

Newly crowned King Zwelonke Sicgawu of the Amaxhosa is bemoaning the fact that King Zwelethini of the Amazulu gets preferential treatment and a huge annual budget compared to the other kings.  Well I agree, cut Zelethini's salary to match the rest and while we're about it, let the various kings' loyal subjects pay for him and not the poor taxpayer, like me, who does not have a 'traditional leader'.

high energy show

Our very own Tina strutting her stuff, proving she's a fancy dancer as she showcases the latest R1 trillion deal, our very own nuclear follies. Pity she can't even keep the lights on now.

Shoot out

Occasionally something happens that is so bizarre that it's just funny on its own. Cadre deployment of this type is so weird that it's hard to top the initial scenario.
Danny Jordaan as mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay Metro ?

A lot of bull

throw down

Parliament seems to be just trashy recently.  Say no more.

The elephant in the room

Our gracious mayor, council speaker and senior councillor, all charged with corruption, refuse to step down but choose to continue in their positions.  Naturally they then attempt to suspend the city manager, who just happens to to be the main witness against them in court. Now he is also fighting this suspension in court, all paid for by those friendly BCM ratepayers of course.
