Trevor Noah is back on our shores and couldn’t resist the chance to get a few digs in at FIFA and Sepp Blatter. Over to you.
Sometimes there isn’t much you can do but have a laugh at the shambles that is the South African government. May as well start with the firepool fiasco then.
We could all use a laugh after yesterday’s Nkandla news, and it being a Friday and all we thought we’d treat you to some poetic brilliance.
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.
We’re getting quite used to hearing Jacob Zuma enjoy a chuckle at our expense in parliament, but should he really be cracking jokes about Nkandla?
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.
So what should we expect this time around then? Will we see absolute chaos or have parliament learnt their lesson from the debacle that was SONA? Only time will tell.
They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and it seems Jacob Zuma may have found that out the hard way after reports have surfaced that one of his wives poisoned him.

Nkandla story heats up. Hong Kong protests fizzle. Driver undergoes brain surgery following F1 crash. Bitcoin suffers massive crash. Maddie McCann internet troll found dead. Facebook introducing mobile payments..
Jacob Zuma might not be able to add in the Disney castle he has always dreamed about, now that he has to possibly pay back a tiny percentage of the money… Shame.
Please enjoy these images of Khulubuse Zuma and bride Fikisiwe Dlamini having a little razzle at the country’s expense.
The Mail & Guardian have performed a tongue-in-cheek investigation that undoubtedly proves that public protector Thuli Madonsela is, in fact, a spy

Okay – so President Zuma has now officially entered himself into the ‘unofficial’ competition known as , ” World Leader Most Capable Of Insulting The Population’s Intelligence” .

Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s Nkandla report has a lot of ANC figures and lawyers coming out of the woodwork in Jacob Zuma’s defence. But she’s not scared. Madonsela thinks that people should stop protecting the president as if he was a “child or a victim.”
