zille speaking xhosa is nothing new, btw. she regularly gives interviews in xhosa. one of the conspiracy theories among nguni-speaking da supporters that i know is that a major reason that zuma is dragging his feet to debate zille is that she will debate in xhosa, which would be disastrous to the anc. [keep in mind that in addition to the xhosa-speaking zille, sandra botha speaks sotho as well.]

lekota is from the free state. i would be suprised if he *didn’t* speak afrikaans, actually.

i would like to see zuma speaking !nama or !kung. that would be interesting. of course, he probably can, but asking for a wife doesn’t count.

But who am I to discourage them from nicking it? Beg, borrow or steal a victory!

In the air is all this ‘Change we can believe in’ like Zille speaking Xhosa, Lekota Afrikaans and soon we’ll hear Zuma speaking the Khoisan language.

The Malema turn around is so, so….? welcome? lame? overdue? scripted? sincere? late?

Interesting times indeed.

The rape cartoon depicted the justice system being gang raped, rape being an ultimate metaphor for exercising power by the rapist.

The next act by the Zuma Cabal (that is now the people depicted as the accomplices in the cartoon} will be to make sure that the prosecution of Zuma is stopped. I guess the time is right to see the next cartoon…the actual rape. Power obtained…mission complete. The man that wanted his day in court will never see the inside of a court after that.

The new law, applicable to Jacob Zuma, will go into the statute books soon after the election…maybe before.

After the enactment of the “Zuma Law”, he will be able to rape and pillage the coffers and resources of SA for two terms. In the end, he will be able to walk away scot-free and a very rich man, able to support many more wives

Hey! Take it easy pal!!! Where does this rant coming from???
Zapiro deserves to be condemned; why should he be protected (by people like you) as if he’s an extinct animal.

He cannot wear political gloves, throw punches in the audience and be left uncondemned. If he wants to fight politics, he should join the political battle (in the battle field) amongst other politicians.

I’m saying it again, Zapiro is─ nowadays─ pale shadow of his former self.

SHut up. And ont ever ask Jonathan Zapiro such stupid questions.You are studying for your masters in jornalism, so what? what does that have to do with anything. Just because you’ve had enough of his cartoons doesn’t mean it’s enough for us. The man expresses himself in the way he knows best. He can draw that shower cap or a swimming pool on his head if he wants to.So please share your views with your classmaates.

Sorry my friend I must reply in the negative in all.

I do not smoke – sorry.

I am no position to help you “snatch” your much needed “degree”

Actually knowledge is power is it not? JCU in Townsville is the only campus offering a masters in any of the Veterinary disciplines – and no places will be offered until next year to foreign students – which I believe most saffers are?

Perhaps you also should give up that strong stuff you are on – or at the very least, make your prevarications non contestable perhaps?

Care to join me down on the Mall for a coffee – or…… just some fresh air?

[..]or perhaps you are just going to “borrow” one of their degrees?”

Hmmm!
I think I should just do that…Can you (at this instant) assist me in snatching this much needed ‘degree’?

[…]”It is obvious that you are not South African”[…]

Me thinks, you’ve smoked something ‘very’ strong and you need to take a break; go out and get some fresh air. It’s bit stuffy where you are.

**Anyway, good luck with you PhD in Medunsa.
I am also doing ‘Master of Veterinary Science’ at James Cook University.

I, too sincerely need your wishes for my upcoming exams.**

I have always wondered about your name….

It is obvious that you are not South African and come to think of it you could only be an Australian if you are currently doing a Masters Degree of Veterinary Science at JCU – or perhaps you are just going to “borrow” one of their degrees?

Or perhaps you would care to explain further maybe?
