Another Comical Ali?
Our next president, Zacob Zuma, apparently does not have DSTV.
Johannesburg - The country's power crisis is an "unintended consequence" of the country's growing economy, ANC president Jacob Zuma said at the University of Zurich on Monday.
According to a copy of his speech released by the party in Johannesburg, Zuma said: "The strides we have made since 1994 in growing our economy and improving the quality of life of our people have brought along such a serious pressure on our energy sources." (Full report here.)
This is exactly the same line that Public Enterprises Minister Alec Erwin trotted out earlier. Can it be that Zuma did not watch Carte Blanche on Sunday night? In the light of that exposé, Zuma is joining the list of nominees for South Africa's own Comical Ali.
While we're on the subject, did you know that ANC no longer means African National Congress? It now stands for Another Night with Candles.
