Mampara of the week: Jacob Zuma
DON'T HUMILIATE HIM? NO NEED!
His ANC boss, Cyril Ramaphosa, keeps telling the nation and the world that this Mampara should not be humiliated, yet he embarrasses and humiliates himself and the nation every time he opens his mouth.
The person who went on live national TV apologising for the Nkandla scandal is now claiming that he is "being arrested for building my home"! What was that apology for if Zuma believes he did nothing wrong?
As if that is not enough, the supposed head of state tells his own government it should stop "useless government programmes" that "won't take us anywhere".
If they are useless, Mr President, why did you agree to them? In fact, why must you be allowed to deliver another state of the nation address when you clearly don't believe what you read out? Phuma Zuma!..
