You must be an idiot of moronic proportions to find something worth celebrating in the destruction of institutions of higher learning.Andile Mngxitama, the former EFF MP who walks around believing he is the personification of Steve Biko's second coming, thinks there is something good to be found in the burning down of universities."I am even more happy that students in this country are burning down universities because that is what decolonisation is about," he reportedly said on Friday.This is the same Mampara who has been making a fool of himself lately by spreading senseless conspiracy theories in defence of the Guptas. Now he is celebrating arson!Vice-Biko must de-moronise his mind first...
