Righteous Kill (in defence of Mr Malema)
Dear Mr Malema
''Remove this thing from the house. We are not going to sit here and be bullied by this guy," he said.
Sir, we live in difficult, dangerous times. 'The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.' Warms one's heart to see someone stand up for decency, democracy, respect, peaceful discussion. Even if it means f*cking someone up to achieve them.
Yours in the fight for peace.

The South African Hunger Games
Let's be frank. Our elections have nothing to do with competence, track record, integrity. In truth, none of those silly relics of colonial thought are relevant. We are about entertainment, showbiz and, er, subtle inducements.
