The irony of South African politics

This week Julius (Malema) was in one of the capitalist strongholds of the world, London, looking for investors for South Africa. Now maybe it’s the Blue Label whisky that’s at fault, but was it not only the other week that he was spewing out statements regarding the nationalisation of our main utilities? I’m not sure …

This week Julius (Malema) was in one of the capitalist strongholds of the world, London, looking for investors for South Africa.
Now maybe it’s the Blue Label whisky that’s at fault, but was it not only the other week that he was spewing out statements regarding the nationalisation of our main utilities?
I’m not sure if he was talking to the Brits about the Du Du being made of SAA or whether they would supply trains to Prasa that would actually fit our tracks.
Perhaps he discussed other ante-capitalist rhetoric or his previous support of Mad Bobs now 90% Zim unemployment plan. Or was he just having a jolly at his supporters expense?
Now over to our laughing president. A week before appearing at a Cosatu meeting and telling them “One of the key questions for the party is how do we deal with the dictatorship of the capitalist class”, he was in the capitalist bastion of Germany declaring Africa is open for business if they wanted to make good profits!
I will leave it to the upcoming voters to decide who is the winner of this contest.
