3. In a valiant attempt to strengthen her grip on the Western Cape, Helen Zille will release a CD/DVD of old coloured folk music standards. She will deny having the cover airbrushed nor explain why her expression remains the same throughout all the videos.

7. The ACDP will propose a motion to burn him at the stake.
