Mampara of the week: Fikile Mbalula

He's known for the quotable quotes that roll out of his motor mouth, but Minister Razzmatazz's foot-in-mouth disease has deteriorated to shocking levels.

Mamparalula shocked us all this week with a reckless statement to the effect that disgruntled Zimbabwean soldiers were fuelling crime in South Africa. Mbaweezy didn't even attempt to present evidence to back remarks that bordered on xenophobia.

It's this sort of ignorance that provoked violent scenes in this country not too long ago.

A senior cabinet minister should know better.
