Twitter pokes fun at Zuma for napping during Pravin's budget speech

Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan's mid-term budget speech on Wednesday seemed to take its toll on President Jacob Zuma who was caught on camera napping in Parliament.

Twitter of course was quick to poke fun at the situation:

Ease off #Zuma .He was sleeping cause he suffers from #corruptabetes- meaning anything righteous puts him to sleep,or deaf to man of #truth

"I concentrate better with my eyes closed" is the only valid reason why Zuma was sleeping during the speech. This applies to me too.

ALL MEDIA: Msholozi was NOT sleeping. He was applying his mind to a dream. He has big dreams. Sometimes they go on for 15 minutes. pic.twitter.com/AeT3KGNyQ8

Zuma did not 'doze off' in parliament. He was robbed of oxygenated air which was captured by the Ruperts #TweetLikePaidTwitter

Maybe if President Zuma don't issue all the late night statements, he won't have to doze off in Parliament. pic.twitter.com/ieNk3hLj1j
