Buthelezi and Maponya were long-time friends and it is wonderful that the retired IFP leader, for years regarded as"part of the enemy" in Soweto, was given an opportunity to pay his last respects to his great pal.
But did Inkosi yakwaPhindangene really have to print out his own speech, complete with pictures of himself and Maponya exchanging jokes at a function, and distribute it to the mourners as if the funeral was some political rally?The speech itself was a beautiful tribute to a man who was a pioneer for the black business community. But it would not have been a Buthelezi speech if it did not have a sentence or two where he painted himself as a political victim.
Dear ANC, give the elder closure by apologising for calling him names during those old bad days of Bantustans and apartheid.Speaking of the ANC, anyone know what those chaps who wear military fatigues at party rallies and go about calling themselves"military veterans" actually do for a living? Vera can't imagine that they spend most of their time training and practising how to form a guard of honour and carry the party's birthday cake as if it is a coffin of a guerilla felled in military combat.Vera is glad to see finance minister Tito Mboweni has stopped using his Twitter account to act like a brand ambassador for Lucky Star Pilchards and Rwanda.
Anyway, Mboweni has been asking some thought-provoking questions of the ANC and its intentions for the Reserve Bank. But the comrades at Luthuli House are not impressed, reminding Mboweni that thinking aloud is counter-revolutionary and that all members are obliged to just sing the resolutions adopted at Nasrec.
Old age is the cause I think,lol
