Mampara of the week: Hlaudi Motsoeneng

25 September 2016 - 02:00 By Hogarth

You have to be a Mampara of a special type to utter in public the gibberish that comes out of Hlaudi Motsoeneng's mouth. Any right-thinking employee would clear their desk if the Supreme Court of Appeal rejected an attempt to have it reconsider a judgment in which it was ruled that they vacate their office.But it seems the word "logic" does not exist in Motsoeneng's vocabulary. Qwaqwa's most famous son hijacked the funeral service of kwaito star Mandoza to tell us that despite the court judgment he is not going anywhere."I have been listening to people saying Hlaudi is out. You can't decide for my future. I'll decide for my future."What did we do to deserve such a clueless and useless Mampara!..
