Remember how hard you worked, putting in all those extra hours long after everyone had gone home to get your pay rise? It is somewhat easier for others.
Looks like there will be some backslapping tonight after the Police Minister declared Zuma will not have to pay back a single cent for Nkandla. Oh, and about that fire pool.
The South African political landscape has really descended into a free-for-all, although the latest attacks on Jacob Zuma are taking things to the next level.
Mmusi Maimane has survived his first week as leader of the Democratic Alliance and we can only hope the signs of his surviving these first few days mean good things to come for SA.
We were surprised to hear that some people don’t know Mmusi’s wife is white. We’re also bemused that it’s even an issue – is the DA not the face of the new South Africa?
Yesterday’s announcement of Mmusi Maimane as the new leader of the DA may not have been a surprise, but that didn’t stop people celebrating wildly when the news was made official.
There were a few lessons to be learnt from Monday’s televised DA debate, and Mmusi Maimane raised a few issues that set tongues wagging.
There’s nothing like a vicious rumour of a sex scandal to start your month, is there? This time it’s for five of the top DA leaders, but the timing is far too good.
It takes a brave man to battle Mmusi Maimane live on TV, but it seems Wilmot James is up to the task. This should be somewhat interesting.
We know that Mmusi isn’t afraid to stand up to Jacob Zuma, given his eloquent attack in the aftermath of the State of the Nation fiasco, but he may yet have a few more tricks up his sleeve.
Here is Mmusi Maimane speaking some great words of wisdom and explaining to the general public why Zuma is not the great man everyone seems to think he is.
