Long-serving ANC stalwart Mac Maharaj is set to bow out of South African politics at the end of the month. So, who will be the next presidential spokesperson then?
Here’s another open letter that’s doing the rounds and is certainly worth a read. This guy has some interesting words of wisdom for el Presidente.
Just when you thought you had heard it all regarding statues someone pops a bronze JZ on top of Lion’s Head. Some were impressed, some were certainly not.
Oh how we laughed – Jacob Zuma and the Presidency of South Africa pulled off their own April Fools’ prank yesterday and some people weren’t too impressed.
Bad luck, Jonathan. ISIS wants a truce? Lufthansa knew about depression. Karl Lagerfeld’s cat makes more money than you. Beijing claiming parts of the sea. Oldest person dies. Stephen Fry upset with Instagram.
During the painful hours and days that were the dissection of the Proteas’ semi-final defeat some fans raised suspicion at the selection of Vern Philander. Fears confirmed here.
It looks like the wheels are coming off the Western Cape ANC bus as meetings have been held regarding disbanding the party’s leadership structures.
In the days that follow Zayn Malik’s decision to leave One Direction people have been putting the blame on anyone and anything. Cue this guy taking a shot at Obama.
It must be awful running this country and being held accountable for every decision you make – which is why Jacob daydreamed out loud yesterday about what he would change were he a dictator.
So where do South African political parties acquire all of their funding from then? It seems the EFF may be getting some help from a rather unlikely source.
Barack Obama took some time off from getting attacked by Republicans to sit down with Vice News and touched on all the issues getting Americans riled up.
Anyone who has ever heard of Fox News (they’re using the word ‘news’ liberally) knows that Barack Obama gets his fair share of abuse. Well, time to get your own back son.
Well it only took days, months and years but eventually South Africa (and the EFF) got their chance to ask JZ the question that has been uttered, chanted and screamed from rooftops around the country.
Oh, look, someone has publicly defended Our Dear Leader Jacob Zuma. Let’s have a look at what he has to say. Try not to get too heated on the topic – we’re all allowed our opinions.
You would think it is in your best interests to foster a good, solid relationship with the USA but Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu hasn’t seen eye to eye with Barack for a while now.
When it comes to parenting everyone has their own take on what makes or breaks a child. The ‘father’ of our nation, ol’ Jacob to the Zuma, could well do with learning a few of these handy tips.
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.
I keep imagining a lovely luncheon at the Saxon in Joburg, and my guest list is purely Julius Malema. It would be great to know where he is heading with all this…
The impartial white-shirted security forces who were responsible for the ejection of EFF members at Thursday’s SONA may not been so impartial after all. Shock, horror.
And the name-calling train rolls on, gathering steam with each day as our politicians take to name-calling, mud-slinging and behaving with a distinct lack of class.
Anyone who watched the State of the Nation address on TV would have been aware that there was a LOT of action they ‘chose’ not to air. Like this video of the EFF being thrown out.
Be careful what you promise, because one day somewhere down the line it might come back to bite you on the ass. It seems some people have failed to stick to their word.
As February 12 and his State Of The Nation address nears Jacob Zuma is getting plenty of advice. Whether or not he listens to any of it is up for debate.
Here’s another thing for JZ to address during his SONA in a few weeks time. In the meantime, let’s hope the govt can keep clear of any awkward bribes that could cost them their entertainment allowance.
When it comes to food we kinda think it’s a case of ‘to each their own’. We must, however, draw the line at a massive banquet where a critically endangered animal is served up.
Unless your head is buried in the sand you will be aware that we have some sticky fingers at work in South Africa. These latest figures, however, will make you rather queasy.
The EFF have hit out at criticism regarding the Golf GTI bought with the party’s money, but it seems they may just have stirred the pot even more.
Watch Helen Zille take matters into her own hands and direct traffic outside her Cape Town residence. Thumbs up.
In what many will claim is a victory for free speech a massive Constitutional Court ruling has gone the way of the DA. Next up…pay back the money!
It’s always sad when an iconic Cape Town institution hits the rocks. This latest saga spells big trouble for the future of the Cape Minstrels, and something smells very suspicious about it all.
